Dear Friends;- 
Gladly and freely we offer our gincere thanks to our 1936 
customers and friends,whose cooperation and our efforts to serve them 
to the best of our ability resulted in a gratifying increase in our 
volumn of business during the past year. 
Our Slogan has always been "fake every customer a person- 
al friend" and is the best recipe that we know of for continued succ=- 
ess. So you may be sure that the 1937 policy of this nursery will 
continue unchanged--to keep our old friends and make many new ones 
by giving them the best service, the finest strain of plants obtain- 
able,and to maintain the lowest price possible, so that they will be 
assured of a good profit on the big crops our plants will produce 
for then. 
This past season the demand and prices for berries was 
exceptionally good and growers who were in a position to meet the 
demand reaped a good profit from their investment. Strawberry and 
other berry prices are advancing steadily,and we are of the honest 
opinion that the berry grower who provides for a future crop will be 
well repaid for the investment he makes today. 
As in the past, you will find all of our varieties are up- 
to-date and every new variety that we offer you,will be up to the 
tPownsend's" Approved" standard and worthy of your earnest considerat- 
ion.We offer you nothing which has not been tried and tested ina most 
exacting manner to prove its quality and profit-making possibilities, 
Order from this catalogue with fullest of confidence that whatever 
selection you make,it will be good.The accompanying reports from lead- 
ing growers in widely seperated sections are well worth reading. 
With our large stock of "Selected Strain” plants of 
“Approved Varieties” we are prepared to serve you better than ever 
pefore,to furnish you with the finest plants money can buy,and to do 
everything in our power towards making 1937 and '38 successful years 
The results of Townsend's plant for you as a berry grower. 
Sincerly yours,
