TOWNSEND’S 
Double Inspected 
Ihe IDEAL Commercial BERRY 
HE BLAKEMORE, originated several years 
ago by the U. S. Department of Agricul- 
ture as a scientific cross between the 
Premier and Townsend’s Missionary, has become one 
of the leading varieties throughout all states south of 
the Mason-Dixon line, extending even to Texas, Mis- 
souri, Arkansas, and Indiana, and in many instances 
replacing the Klondyke and Missionary. The Blake- 
more may also be safely grown in those sections of 
Pennsylvania and New Jersey where plant control is 
practiced, but for best results in these sections, the 
Agog should be kept down to a maximum width of two 
eet. 
Shipping Qualities—Fruit of Blakemore is very firm and holds up 
well on long distance hauls. It will also withstand heavy rains 
while ripening on the vines, showing very little loss of fruit. 
Production—Produces 80% of its crop one week after first pick- 
ing, making it valuable to berry growers who need a heavy early 
producer to supply the early berry market in large quantities. 
Size—A uniform, medium to large fmit with a sprightly flavor, 
which has made it a leading canning and preserving variety. 
Vigorous Grower—Blakemore will make a heavy plant growth on 
practically any soil and its rich, dark green foliage stands up 
well above the berries. For an ideal early variety, we recommend 
Blakemore, 
BLAKEMORE—Minimum of Yellow Leaves! 
Burlington, Iowa, 
The Blakemore strawberry plants you sent me this 
Spring are in fine condition, with a minimum of plants 
with yellow leaves. Yours truly, 
J. M. McLaughlin. 
Note: The above testimonial letter speaks for itself 
in regards to Townsend’s Select-Strain, practically free 
from yellow, Blakemore strawberry plants.

Very often when filling daily 
orders we dig a slight surpli's 
of various varieties. Since our 
business policy does not allow 
us to carry plants over to the 
following day, we are in a po- 
sition to sell these at a sacri- 
fice. The grower who is not 
especially particular about va- 
rieties can buy these plants 
at a sensational saving. Every 
plant is freshly dug, labelled 
and true to name. Because of 
these low prices, we regret 
that we cannot assume any 
responsibility for variety se- 
lection—please do not ask for 
particular varieties.
