Ryckman, 



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 market. Flavor mild and 

 considered good for table use. 



PAUL JONES (Imp.) Midseason. In the Paul 

 Jones we have another very popular variety. 

 The originator claims it to be the most produc- 

 tive variety grown. I have only fruited it one 

 season and find it to be very productive and 

 quality fine, size medium to large, of good, firm 

 quality. It is a general favorite in the state of 

 Delaware, which speaks much for it. I am well 

 pleased with the Paul Jones here on the grounds. 

 I have a very fine stock of plants this season 

 and hope to see more of its behavior, as the de- 

 mand the past season was so great I sold almost 

 out before I knew it. 



NICK OLMER (Per.). One of the very best late 

 varieties for Southern states and excellent ship- 

 per. Rich in flavor, good plant maker and a 

 general favorite wherever grown. More produc- 

 tive than Gandy. Free from rust. 



LATE JERSEY GIANT (p er .) New (Van Fleet No. 

 14). The latest of all strawberries and best 

 late variety. It undoubtedly has blood of Gandy 

 in it, but is superior quality; the berries larger, 

 more brilliant color and produced in greater 

 numbers: uniform large heart shape, smooth 

 and glossy, firm and meaty. I regard it as the 

 most beautiful strawberry I have ever seen, 

 etc., etc. (Introducer.) Not yet fruited here. 



Green Cove Springs, Fla., March 13, 1913. 

 Dear Sir: The plants I bought from you 

 last season proved so fine I am sending you 

 another order for your offering "E." 

 Respectfully yours, 



MRS. REAOGH. 



Lakeland, Fla., Feb. 26, 1913. 

 Mr. E. W. Townsend. 



Dear Sir: I received the strawberry plants 

 O. K. Strictly fine; fine count; I am well 

 pleased. Looking well in the patch. 



T. S. STROM. 



SALTZER'S LATE MASTODON (Per.) Season very 

 latest variety grown. Enormous in size, aen- 

 cious flavor, firm and productive, a strictly 

 fancy variety. Price $1.00 per 100 plants, $7.50 

 for 1,000. 



REWASTICO (Per). This new berry was orig- 

 inated in Wicomico County, arid was introduced 

 in 1913 by Mr. W. F. Allen, who says that he 

 considers it the only real competitor that the 

 Chesapeake has, and in some respects it even 

 surpasses that popular variety. I will say that 

 it far surpasses it in plant growth. 1 have not 

 fruited it yet, but am sure that it is worth 

 giving a test. The supply of plants is very 

 small this season and the prices will have to 

 be high. 



E. W. Townsend & Co. 



Dear Sirs: Yours of the 5th at hand. I will 

 give you a list of names that I know are going 

 to set berry plants. I could give you 150 

 names of growers, but three-quarters of them 

 might not set any. My plants that I bought of 

 you last spring are simply fine. I have a full 

 row and several plants in the middles. Every- 

 body that has seen it says it is the finest patch 

 in the country. It is surely a good advertise- 

 ment for your nursery. But it is a hard mat- 

 ter to get people here to spend a little more 

 money and get first-class plants. I will have 

 a few plants to sell and maybe I can sell some 

 for you. I will if I can. Mail your catalog as 

 soon as ready. Yours truly, 



T. C. CALLINS. 



Stark, Fla., March 17. 

 I received the plants from you several weeks 

 ago in good condition, and set them out. Have 

 not lost one of them out of 2,000. 

 Yours, 



J. HORNSBY.

 fine. Hope to be able to-hand you a lot of busi- 

 ness this fall and spring. 



Yours, W. H. GREEN.
