6 E. W. TOWNSEND & SONS’ STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Early and Medium Early Varieties 
HEFLIN EARLY —0risinated in Virginia, and grown 
quite extensively in that state up 
to a few years ago. We have some trade that still demand it. 
Fruit medium in size, poor in quality; very productive; a good 
plant maker. 
KLONDYKE (Per).—Improved strain. . Same as the old 
standard except improved thru plant se- 
lection. One of the most valuable varieties for the South and 
Southwestern States. Townsend’s strain of Klondyke plants has 
been known for over twenty years as the best money could buy. 
And will produce from two to three times as much fruit as the 
common grown Southern Klondyke. Many of the largest Asso- 
ciations send to us every year for Good Klondyke plants. 
This is an extra early berry of Southern ori- 
ST. LOUIS gin. Large size and very productive. Color 
light red. Lasts only a short time. Where an extra large early 
berry is wanted, especially for the Southern States, we recom- 
mend St. Louis for trial. Not recommended for long distance 
shipping. 
TOWNSEND’S SELECT MISSIONARY 
—Townsend’s Select Missionary is the one ideal variety for 
Southern growers. It is this variety that you see on the fancy 
fruit stands in the Northern markets from Thanksgiving to March 15th every year. Large blood 
red juicy berries that sell from 50 cents to over $1.00 per quart. It is the berry that put 
Florida on the map as a strawberry state. We introduced this variety to the State of Florida in 
1908. Since that time we have shipped probably 100,000,000 plants into that State, and to date it is 
growing stronger than ever. Few varieties have been sent out that has kept the faith so long a time. 
We begin to ship plants into Florida about October 1st for the main crop of fruit, and again shipping 
starts in January for plant propagating for those wishing to grow their own stock plants. 
(Per).—Medium Early. Large to extra large. Irreg- 
COOPER ular in size and shape. Quality fair. Productive. 
Fair plant maker. Moderately firm. Lots better varieties, 
Dr. Burrill. 
(DR. BURRILL) Per.—The Dunlap is an 
old time favorite in many sections of the 
country. Not suited for the Southern States. A great plant maker 
and a great yielder when the season is not too dry. Fruit medium in 
size, dark red in color, and of good quality. <A little soft for long dis- 
tance shipping. There are lots better varieties at this time. We can 
see no difference in this variety and Senator Dunlap. 
SUCCESS 
very productive. 
Senator Dunlap 
—Very early, medium to large in size; quality ordi- 
nary; suitable for home garden or nearby market; 
Lots of better early varieties. 
Townsend’s Select Missionary.

TOWNKING DID FINE 
From Thomas Horton, N. Y.—Townking plants purchased 
last year did fine. They truly are beautiful berries. Will 
want more next spring. 
(FINDS LUCKY STRIKE BEST EVERBEARING 
STRAWBERRY) 
From Mr. and Mrs. Losgrove of N. J. Sept. 20th, 1930.— 
We bought our first plants from you three years ago, getting 
some Lucky Strikes to try out. We have ordered some of 
these plants every year since. And last spring as you in- 
creased the price on the Luckies, we split our order and 
took 2500 each Mastodon and Luckies. We paid $30.00 per 
1000 for the Luckies, and $12.50 for Mastodon, trying to save 
a little money. Last week we picked 800 quarts from the 
2500 Lucky Strike plants, and less than 10 quarts from the 
Mastodon. We are getting fifty cents per quart at our road 
stand and could get more if we asked for it. We want to 
set 50,000, all Luckies, next spring, and will not fuss about 
the price. 
TOWNSEND’S PLANTS BEST BUY IN THE 
UNITED STATES 
From Gustave Schnepp, L. I., N. Y., written Aug. 17th, 
1930.—Getting plenty berries from the Lucky Strike and 
Mastodon plants. I am the only one around the neighbor- 
hood getting plenty berries.
