A fine block of Townsend's Certified Cumberland that averaged 5,300 pints 



of berries first year's crop. Get good plants. Treat them right and profitable 



yields will be yours. 



THE raspberry grower who invests in Townsend's 

 Select Strain certified plants will be amply re- 

 warded with heavier yields and larger profits. We do every- 

 thing possible to grow finer plants worthy of their reputa- 

 tion for excellence. The plants in our propagating field, are 

 grown under the supervision of a raspberry specialist, and 

 set in proper soil to produce well-balanced plants with vigor- 

 ous root systems. The plants are carefully watched during 

 the growing season to guard against any diseases. Twice a 

 year, State Officials inspect plants growing in our fields. 

 Every plant we sell you carries with it a certified seal testi- 

 fying to a double inspection and its complete freedom from 

 mosiac and other injurious diseases. 



This thorough method of disease-prevention made Town- 

 send's Raspberry plants so popular that last year, our plants 

 were set by growers in every state of the Union. These growers 

 realized that the best method of increasing their yield was 

 to purchase plants which have been grown right, packed 

 properly, and delivered to them in a fresh growing condition. 

 We do not hesitate to state that with a moderate amount 

 of care after planting Townsend's Select Strain certified 

 raspberry plants will practically double your yields, resulting 

 in lowered cost of production and increased profits. 



One raspberry planting is good for sev- 

 eral years. Don't gamble with your plant- 

 ing stock, get the best obtainable. It pays 

 you in the long run to demand quality 

 plants in the beginning. Our prices are 

 reasonable — our plants are sure to please 

 you.
