2 E. W. TOWNSEND & SONS’ STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
The JUPITER is a scien- 
tific cross between Premier 
and Gandy. In plant growth 
it shows more like Gandy. 
Also the fruit resembles the 
Gandy both in color and 
quality. But in season of 
ripening and in productive- 
ness it resembles the Pre- 
mier. The foliage is very 
strong and upright, holding 
the loads of fruit well off the 
ground. It will nearly equal 
Premier in productiveness, 
and the years that we have 
had it under test it has made 
a fine healthy growth of plants each year. 
After making the successful cross, Mr. Cor- 
dury gave us over his entire lot of Seedlings to 
propagate, stating that he did not have the time 
to give same proper attention. There were sev- 
eral good seedlings from this cross, but the one 
chosen and now being introduced as JUPITER, 
showed so much better than any of the others 
that we have discarded them. JUPITER will 
equal Gandy in size. A rich bright red color that 
is almost identical with Gandy. Firm as Gandy, 
with the deep red color inside same as found in 
Premier. The blossoms are well supplied with 
pollen, making it an ideal variety to plant with 
imperfect sorts of its season, and for this reason 
we have selected it as a proper mate for our 
Howard’s Supreme.

Gentlemen: 
From fifteen hundred of Townsend’s plants I picked fifty 
bushels of fine berries besides those preserved for our 
family use. I am planning for another bed the coming 
Spring. 
Very truly yours, 
MRS. F. M. JOHNSON.

| rich shiny red in color. 
Originated by the late Oliver C. Cordury 
of Salisbury, Md., at his trial grounds at 
Laurel, Del., year 1925. 
Being that we are intro- 
ducing this variety before 
having it tested by the vari- 
ous State Experimental Sta- 
tions (as this process great- 
ly delays the introduction— 
and we believe that it is too 
good to be kept from the 
publie any longer), we are 
introducing it with the fol- 
lowing Guarantee: 
That it is a strong healthy 
plant grower and not subject 
torust. That it is well above 
the average in productive- 
ness. That fruit is a bright 
Large to extra large in 
size. Firm enough to make a long distance ship- 
per. That the flavor is mild and sweet enough 
to suit most tastes. That it will make a strong 
pollenizer for any medium early imperfect sort. 
If planted on good soil and given good cultiva- 
tion with proper seasons, it fails to make good 
any of the above points we will gladly refund 
the purchase price. We take all the chance in 
this our new introduction. And predict that it 
will prove to be one of our big winners in a short 
time.

NEARLY A QUARTER OF A CENTURY 
From Chas. J. Bell, Tenn., writes Oct. 9th, ’30.—The 5000 
plants purchased last spring have come through the worst 
drougth ever experienced here. I have a perfect bed and 
prospects for a beautiful crop. 
Your plants have always been superior to any plants I 
have ever grown. And I never fail to speak a good word 
for you.
