We appreciate this attitude on the part of our grow¬ 
ing list of customers and will continue in our efforts 
to help them in every way possible to produce maxi¬ 
mum profits consistently from land devoted to 
strawberry culture. 
Market gardeners and proprietors of roadside stands 
have not realized the possibilities of producing straw¬ 
berries of exceptional size and quality for local and 
nearby marketing.

BECAUSE —Year by year, small fruits, strawberries in particu¬ 
lar, TOWNSEND strawberries above all, are returning large 
profits for any one willing to devote an acre of ground, 
more or less, to their cultivation. The market for this fruit 
grows as each improved variety appears, and Townsend 
originates many and handles ALL the best varieties. 
By careful selection of plants, by constantly building old 
varieties to new peaks of productiveness, and originating new 
patented varieties of our own, we are keeping up with the 
trend of the modern market for small fruits—keeping just a 
little ahead of it. Producers, the country over, are 
beginning to show their recognition of the value of 
our research work by buying Townsend suggested 
varieties and by insisting on purchasing Townsend- 
grown plants. 
Despite the growing general 
demand for this fruit, local buyers 
are not yet being offered the 
finest and largest strawberries the 
local producer can grow, because 
he himself has not yet convassed 
the possibilities of the field. 
If, by careful selection of va¬ 
riety, with an eye for larger size 
and good quality, the local truck 
gardener will buy the best of the 
plants which we recommend, he 
will soon find that local retail 
Farmers, 
Truck Gardeners, 
and Growers 
are fast learning 
that money spent 
in purchasing 
Townsend Approved Plants is a 
PAYING INVESTMENT
