TRUE-TO-XAME SMALL FRUIT PLANTS 



TOWNSEND'S MISSIONARY.— See description below. 



MISSIONARY— Townsend's (Per) 



Missionary heaLS the list of ail extra early Southern varie- 

 ties. Since 1906 Missionary has been growing more popular ev- 

 ery year, not only in the South, but in the great strawberry sec- 

 tions everywhere. It is truly a universal variety, and a money 

 maker ever^^vhere,- and today is one of the most popular varieties 

 on the markets. It is the Townsend Missionary that you see on 

 the fruits stands in mid-winter selling for $1.00 and up per quart. 

 It is the same Townsend Missionary that you see on the fruit 

 stands late in the spring or early summer, bringing fancy prices 

 that are being grown in the most Northern states. Some of the 

 finest berries I ever saw were Missionary berries on a fruit stand 

 in Boston, July 1st, grown in the Cape Cod section. Townsend's 

 Missionary is an ideal berry for the new beginner to start with. 

 Is one of the easiest berries ever grown. If you want to grow 

 prize winners, grow them in hills the Townsend way. If you are not 

 so particular about the large size, just set the plants, give them 

 a little attention and a little manure and you can grow a bum- 

 per crop of medium size berries with little expense. 



For fifteen years we have been growing an increased acre- 

 age of Townsend's Missionary every year and the demand has in- 

 creased every year with the supply. Some of the largest straw- 

 berry sections in the world, like Marion Station, Md., grow more 

 than 75 per cent. Missionary. Again we have grown MILLIONS 

 of these plants on our new ground farms and hope to be able to 

 supply the demand. 



It will pay you to send us the order for Townsend's Mission- 

 ary, as we specialize in this variety, having introduced it year 

 1906, and have taken great pride in the variety and have kept it 

 fully bred up to the standard all the tme. And today our plants 

 are even more productive than when we first set them out.
