E. W. TOWNSEND (Strawberry Specialist) q 
GREAT SCOTT—A new variety with us; 
has made a splendid showing this season; 
claimed by the originator to be of great im- 
portance as an exceedingly fancy home mar- 
ket berry; said to be firm enough for home 
markets, but not for long, distant shipments. 
I recommend it for trial, as it is a good 
grower and plants are strong and healthy; 
have seen no fruit. 
GOVER VAN SANT—A mid-season variety 
that is giving very good satisfaction in all 
parts of the country where it has been tried. 
Is a strong plant grower and will stand as 
much drought in fruiting season as any va- 
riety I have yet tried; fruit medium to large, 
with a dark, showy calx; fruit firm and of 
the very best quality; in fact, go0d enough 
for a king. We have a fine stock of plants 
this season and are able to reduce the price, 
and we hope our customers who have not 
tried it will give it a trial this season. 
GIBSON—A perfect flowering variety; sea- 
son early to late, commences with Dunlap and 
continues until quite late in season; this is 
a new variety here in the East; it has proven 
well in our trial grounds for past two years 
and we are recommending it to our customers. 
I describe it as follows: Very pro luctive, 
fruit large and firm, quality fair to good. 
GOLDEN GATE—A late perfect flowering 
variety. Quality very poor here in the East, 
but is a great favorite in New England States. 
Fruit is extra large, dark red. and is very 
productive; is a strong plant maker, plants 
long rooted and healthy; have never shown 
a@ spot of rust in any season or failed to give 
a@ fine matted row. 
G!M—For home market only; a large, per- 
fect flowering sort; season la‘e. 
GLEN MARY—A late perfect flowering va- 
riety tut not suited to plants with imperfect 
flowering sorts, as it is defic en! in po’len, ex- 
cept for its own use. Is a leader among the 
very best in nearly all sections of the country. 
Is one of our best sellers; fruit extra large, 
firm and of good quality. I could say hun- 
dreds of good things about Glen Mary hut the 
variety is known by almost evervone who will 
receive this book and it is taking space for 
nothing to say more. 
Gandy 
GANVYY—A very late perfect flowering va- 
riety and 2 standard variety in nearly all the 
largest strawberry sections of the United 
States. Does best in land of a ve y springy 
nature. We always try to grow a very large 
stock of Gandy plants and have not failed to 
do so this season and think that we can sup- 
ply our trade with this variety. 
HAVERLAND—Imperfect flower, mid-sea- 
son; we have always recommended setting 
Seno Dunlap with the Haverland for a good 
patch of fruit. Equal rows of each. It is un- 
necessary to give another lengthy description 
of this variety at this time. 
HELEN DAVIS—A perfect flowering va- 
riety, mid-season to late; very productive 
fruit, medium to large; quality fair to good; 
is very popular in the West, also in the 
Northern States. Not recommended for 
Maryland or Delaware. 
HUB—A perfect flowering variety that hails 
from Massachusetts. Has made good here in 
Maryland the past season, according to re- 
ports from our best growers who fruited it for 
the first time; fruit very large and firm, and 
very attractive; will probably become a leader 
here in th2 near future. Ripens about mid- 
season here in Maryland. 
Messrs. E. W. Townsend, 
Salisbury, Md.: 
Gentlemen—tThe 5,000 Dunlap plants I got 
from you opened up fine, so did the 2,500 
Klondyke, and the 2,500 Gandy were the 
strongest that I have ever seen. Indeed you 
are to be congratulated on sending such 
thrifty plants to your customers.
