THE TOWNSEND RECIPE 



for Satil-kaction . . . 



low PRICES 



+HIGHquality= 



"Value cannot be measured by price alone. If quality is lack- 

 ing, value is destroyed. Only when you have the combina- 

 tion of high quality and low prices does real value exist" 



Townsend's Plants are known the country over as one 

 of the heaviest yielding strains grown 



THESE ARE ONLY A FEW OF THE UN- 

 SOLICITED LETTERS WE RECEIVE DAILY 



GENTLEMEN: Suffolk County, N. Y. 



The shipment of berry plants arrived in fine con- 

 dition and all the Association members are very well 

 pleased with the plants and service given us. Will 

 have some more orders for you before the end of the 

 season. H. MEYJES. 



GENTLEMEN: Washington County, Md. 



I have been purchasing plants from you for several 

 years. Our crop this year was extremely nice, pick- 

 ing over 7000 quarts which we sold on Washington 

 market for as high as 30c a quart, netting us a very 

 good profit on less than acre. W. SLIGH. 



DEAR FRIENDS: Lake County, Ohio 



From year to year I have bought strawberry plants 

 from you. They have always been wonderful pro- 

 ducers for me, have no trouble selling berries grown 

 from your plants at a good price. 



S. T. ANDREWS. 



DEAR SIRS: Avery County, North Carolina. 



I grew 18,000 quarts of strawberries from the plants 

 purchased from you and had no trouble selling 

 them for 25c per quart. We formerly purchased all 

 our plants from another section, but they do not 

 compare with yours, and it certainly pays to grow 

 your plants. J. HARTLEY. 



DEAR SIRS: Berks County, Pa. 



Certainly appreciate the advice you gave me per- 

 sonally at the Harrisburg Farm Show; when you 

 advised me to set Fairfax and Dorsett for early 

 berries. The sixteen thousand plants purchased from 

 you did even more than you told me or I had hoped 

 for. They were the talk of the county. After all 

 expenses were paid I had $837.00 profit. It certainly 

 helped me a lot; will be with you again next year.

WE ARE PACKING CONFIDENCE 

 IN EVERY BUNDLE PLANTS SENT OUT 



For more than thirty-six years the Town- 

 send's Nurseries have been run on a square 

 deal plan. We have tried to pack confidence 

 and value into every package of plants that 

 we have ever sent out. 



We realized in the beginning that first 

 we must gain your confidence, and in order 

 to hold it we must give you the same square 

 deal every time you come to us with your 

 order. 



WE NEVER SACRIFICED QUALITY 



TO MAKE A LOW PRICE 



Every Townsend plant has all the quality 

 built into it that such an organization knows 

 how to build. We contribute this quality, to- 

 gether with our fair and courteous treat- 

 ment of every customer to our success. Mass 

 production and low prices without quality 

 may go for a time, but no lasting trade can 

 be built on any product except where Qual- 

 ity is present. Our motto has always been to 

 grow the best quality plants possible, and 

 to make the lowest possible price. 



The foundation for your success in berry growing starts
