Special Notices 



I SELL DIRECT — to the people, saving them over one-half on their orders. 



NO SHORTAGE — on plants with me this season. Positively every order can be flUea. 



WE CAN — usually fill orders promptly from November first, until May the first. 



BEAR IN MIND — that there is no better plants grown iiic^n i grow no matter what 



you pay. 



ALL PLANTS — sent out by me have the highest fruiting power, grown from strong, 



healthy mother plants selected by a strawberry expert. 



THIS IS MY SPECIALTY — growing strawberry plants and propagating new varieties. 



I have all my eggs in one basket and keep my eyes on the BASKET. 



I WANT YOUR ORDER — this season. I promise to please you. I am responsible. 



Ask your neighbor about me. Townsend's Thoroughbreds is a household word in 



nearly every state. They never fail to grow a crop of big red berries. 



HUNDREDS — are making more growing strawberries than they are growing arj>^ 



other crops. You can do the same if you grow Townsend's Thoroughbreds. There is 



no garden too small for a few hills of strawberries. There is no mouth too sweet for 



a ripe red BERRY. 



REMEMBER— when you place your order place it with 



TOWNSEND— the man that SATISFIES.
