TOWNSEND'S. 20th CENRURY ©CAPAL OG og Zs 
This field of plants is said by many experts to be the finest plants ever seen in the State of 
Maryland. Prof. T. B. Symons, who inspected our fields September ist, made the remark that 
they were the finest that he had ever seen grown anywhere. (The photograph does not really 
give them justice.) 
Oswego 
heavy crop of fair quality fruit. Good 
plant maker and free from rust. It has 
not been grown largely in the Hast, but 
we always have a demand for all the 
plants we grow. 
(Per). Midseason. Berries _ long, 
wedge shape, light red on the under side, 
deep red on the top, but no green tips. 
Flavor mild. Is enormously productive and 
bears good crops every season, producing 
better crops the second and third years 
than the first. Does best on high, light 
soil, and may be grown on thinner soil 
than any other variety. Is called the 
poor man’s berry.- 
Pineapple (Per). One of the best on the 
list for home use. Not overly large, but 
has a delicious flavor, not only of the 
strawberry, but the pineapple flavor is 
readily tasted. Its pineapple character is 
readily detected by the odor as well as 
the flavor. Valuable alike for the home 
garden and market. 
Marshall (Per). Noted for its very fine fla- 
vor and apearance. Not a productive va- 
riety at all, either in plants or fruit, but 
has the quality to make up. Every berry 
is a perfect one. The Marshall is a gen- 
eral favorite in many sections where a 
strictly fancy berry is in demand. I have 
the largest acreage in Marshall this sea- 
son I have ever grown, as I have always 
been short of plants. I determined to try 
to grow enough to fill my orders for 1914, 
and think I have succeeded. So please 
favor me with your order again if you 
desire this variety. 
Ryckman (Per). Midseason, of the New 
York type. Fruit large and handsome, but 
not firm enough for the Southern states. 
Does very well north or for a close mar- 
ket. Flavor mild and considered good for 
table use. : 
Wm. Belt (Per). Midseason. This is an old 
popular variety which many newer varie- 
ties are classed with as to flavor. For a 
home variety it has but few equals. Plants 
always in great demand. 
Nanticoke (Per). Midseason. This is @ 
new variety introduced by me in 2911. 
It proved very popular the past season 
in several sections. Makes a moderate 
supply of strong, healthy plants, fruit 
large, conical shaped with mild flavor. Color 
bright red, fruiting season short. I pre- 
dict that it wil! become a standard in a 
few vears or as soon as enough plants 
can be grown to supply the growers. My 
supply is limited this season. 
Golden Gate (Per). Midseason. Introduced 
by S. H. Warren, Hsq., the grand old 
strawberry man of Massachusetts. It is 
a strong plant maker, entirely free from 
rust cor any other disease. Seems to do 
well on any soil; always brings forth a 
large crop of well-matured and fancy fruit. 
If you are undecided what toa plant, take 
this one. I guarantee them to please 
you if it is a fancy berry you want. 
New York (Per). Midseason to late. This 
is one of the largest berries grown and 
where a fancy berry for local market is 
wanted it is a great favorite. Too soft 
to ship well.
