Northern Growers Recognize 
The Hardiness of Townsend's 
Select Strain Plants 
Northern Growers are now realizing the true 
hardiness of plants grown on our Plant Farms. 
While it is true, that the temperature here does 
not go down to 20 below zero during the winter 
months, nevertheless we do have some mighty cold 
weather, and at times we get the eight below point, 
and quite often the thermometer hangs around 
the zero mark. And during all these cold spells our 
plants are not protected by mulch of any kind; 
these low temperatures harden plants off to such 
an extent that the Northern Growers are convinced 
that no where in the Country can they obtain 
plants any hardier than Townsends’ Select Strain 
Plants.
