Wi 



HEN E. W. Townsend, Sr., founded the Townsend. Nursery 

 thirty-seven years ago he did so with the realization that 

 planting conditions varied in different sections according to the climatic 

 and soil characteristics of local territories. We have striven since that 

 day to correlate every sale we make to the needs of the individual 

 customer, advising the purchase of those varieties which would be best 

 adapted to each local condition. 



In addition to our extensive proving and testing grounds, our records 

 are also kept accurate by reports from our customers; as well as various 

 state experimental stations with whom we are affiliated. These records 

 have proven invaluable to thousands of our customers who wish to be 

 sure before buying that the varieties they selected were adaptable to 

 their local conditions. 



The varieties mentioned in this catalog and recommended for the various territories are the result of 

 this painstaking research Further definite information is available at this office, and will be furnished 

 free to you on request. We are proud of this service, know you will appreciate it, and trust that you will 

 make use of it whenever possible. 



Proper Time To Set Strawberry 

 Plants — Other Berry Plants 



We have been recommending the Early Spring 



setting of Strawberry Plants and other berry 

 plants for over a quarter of a century. This 

 recommendation has led our customers to make 

 bigger profits from their plants than ever be- 

 fore. Fall setting is practiced in several of the 

 Northern States, but is not recommended out- 

 side the South. 



Planting Dates For Different 

 Sections 



New England States, April and Early May; 

 N. Y., N. J., Penna., Del., Md., Ohio, Indiana, 

 Illinois, Mich., Tenn., Ky., West Va., D. C. late 

 March or as early in April as possible; Southern 

 States, February and March; all other states 

 in Early April. Give your plants time to estab- 

 lish themselves in the soil while it is cool and 

 before the hot suns start. Plow your land early 

 and be ready to set at the first sign of spring.
