TOWNSEND'S 20th CEN@ORY- CAA Oee hic: 
24 
Wilkins Early. 
Senator Dunlap (Per). A general favorite 
in many sections of the country, and one 
of our very best sellers, a variety that 
will suit anyone for most any use, a 
strong grower and healthy, although plants 
are usually very small. The fruit is me- 
dium to large and with excellent quality. 
Dark red and glossy seeds show promi- 
nent, making it a very beautiful as well 
as useful variety. If you have never tried 
the Dunlap I would advise trying them 
this season. I have yet to hear from any 
section where it failed, although it has 
not been planted nearly as much in the 
South as in the North. I have a fine 
stock and prices are low. 
Hoffman (Per). An old favorite, fruit ex- 
tra fine but not prolific. Many better 
ones to be had. 
Virginia (Imp). A good variety and a sure 
cropper. Good, strong plant maker, free 
from rust, fruit medium in size, firm and 
of good quality. Very productive, a gen- 
eral favorite. Does well when set with 
Climax. 
Lea (Per). Introduced only a few seasons 
ago, but seems to be gaining ground, fruit 
medium in size, quality ordinary, color 
bright red, very firm, an excellent plant 
maker and free from rust. I recommend 
it for trial. 
Heflin Early (Per). A very popular variety 
in some sections, but a failure in others. 
10 
Has its greatest popularity in the Caro- 
linas and Virginia. Fruit extra large and 
good quality, but very shy bearer. 
New Superior (Per). This is of the old Su- 
perior type, a great plant maker and in 
fact must be kept cut out to give best re- 
sults. If not allowed to grow too thickly 
in bed is one of the very best varieties to 
date. Fruit large and fine quality, al- 
ways reaching market in splendid condi- 
tion, no matter how the weather. This is 
one of the productive sorts and should 
be grown in all sections where the early 
frost is a danger. It is a continuous 
bloomer and if killed down will then bear 
a full crop. Recommended especially for 
the North, although will carry well from 
Florida to Boston, and is doing well in 
Florida. 
Saxton, Pa., April 17, 1912. 
Mr. Townsend. 
Dear Sir: I received my plants on the 
12th in fine shape, well packed, as nice, if 
not the nicest plants I ever received from 
any nursery, and I have got from a good 
many. Thanks for the Aromas you sent me 
free. It has been too wet to plow, but have 
them heeled in good. Hope I will have 
good luck with them. 
Yours very truly, 
D. M. RAMSEY.
