The Greatest Early Berry on The Market

(Howard 17)

No Other Standard Variety Will Make As Much Money For The Strawberry Grower

Premier has taken first place with the most successful straw- berry growers throughout the country. The demand for this variety is far greater than any other variety on the market. This demand is steadily increasing as new growers find the good qualities of this berry.

Premier Fruit Is Perfect

We have never yet had a report from our customers stating that they ever lost their crop by late frosts or freezing. Not only a frost proof variety bus one of the greatest drouth resisters owing to their large and extra long roots. If there is any moisture within a foot of the top soil they will surely get it. Other varieties will dry up from drouth when Premier planted beside

them will show little or no effect.

Heavy Producers

. - investment you ever made.

Townsend's plants are grown on light new ground soil, producing an abundance of, fiberous roots and making a heavy fruit crown. It certainly will not pay to set small runted plants as this quality plant will tell when picking time comes. One acre set with Townsend’s New Ground Plants are worth several acres

Let’s Resolve To Grow Our Own Strawberries!

If we should happen to meet each other face to face and I offered to give you just all the strawberries that you and your family could eat (no matter how large your family was) for two or three dollars, and that all that you had to do was to unwrap a package and put the plants in the ground, and when you get up of a morning (when you had a feeling in your stomach that would make you think: “Oh, what’s the use of eating”), then to go out and work a lit- tle aroung these growing plants, so that when you came in to breakfast the stack of hot cakes would look like a pile of dimes on the plate - you would not let me get away before you had contracted for two or three gardens. This is just what we are offering you, no strings attached to this; there is only a 2c postage stamp between us. Drop us a letter for any one of these gardens. We will do the rest in living up to the contract.

There is absolutely no profit to us in any of the above gardens, and our only object is to introduce our high-grade plants so that you will become regular customers and tell your friends how much you have enjoyed these Townsend Strawberry Gardens. If any of the Gardens are too small just double the amount of remittance and we will send two gardens instead of one.
