E. W. TOWNSEND, Strawberry Specialist 



Senator Dunlap and Warfield Bunched Together. 



Warfield 



Papa is going to have half an acre planted next 

 spring and I feel sure that we will buy from 

 you cause your plants are right. 



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. 



now. but I intend to have one to send you next 

 season. I did not know what was in store for 

 me until the row of strawberries began to fruit 

 in June. I planted the 100 plants all in one row 

 and mixed the plants every other one as you 

 told me. I had a bed four feet wide when they 

 came out this spring. I picked them every day 

 for four weeks and sold 215 quarts, which netted 

 me $27.50. and I am sure that our family ate 

 $5.00 worth of berries if I had charged them 

 same as I got at the store. Papa told me to not 

 buy any plants this season but set from my own 

 bed, which I did. Do you think that I did 

 proper, or should I have sent back to you for 

 more plants? I want some fall-bearing next 

 time for I believe I could get rich on them if 

 they are like you say in your strawberry book. 

 We have never planted berries here before. 



War-field (Imp.). This variety is still very 

 popular as a market berry — especially so when 

 set with the Dunlap, they make a choice team 

 and a pair hard to beat. They are both very 

 similar in appearance after picked. The War- 

 field was probably the largest planted variety 

 for several years in the great strawberry sec- 

 tions of the North and West, for commercial pur- 

 poses, but after the arrival of the Dunlap they 

 have been planted together in great quantities 

 and are yet the leading varieties on many large 

 fruit farms. For best results they should not be 

 allowed to bed too thick as they are great pro- 

 ducers of small plants and the fruit will be 

 small if allowed to go their own way. They are 

 great favorites as canners and we sell lots of 

 small orders to the families for this purpose. 



The above photo illustrates the two varieties 

 bunched together and is a good illustration of 

 the two grand old varieties. You can buy them 

 separate but my advice is to plant them together 

 and you will not go wrong. Here is what one 

 little boy did with 100 Dunlap and Warfield 

 plants — his own words, dated July 15, 1914: 



Dear Mr. Townsend: — I have no picture of my- 

 self or of my patch of strawberries to send you

What Another Boy Writes from the Good Old 

 State of Florida. 



Dated April 3, 1914. 



Mr. E. W. Townsend: — I have been intending 

 to write you for a long time about the offer 

 which you sent me last year. You know that 

 you sent me 100 plants — four different kinds — 

 and in this lot you sent 25 ever-bearing plants. 

 You said in your letter that you wanted to make 

 me happy a whole year, and you certainly did 

 not miss, for I believe that I have eat strawber- 

 ries off these ever-bearing plants every day 

 since I set them out, for they had ripe berries 

 on them when they came. The other plants 

 done very well, especially Uncle Sam and Mis- 

 sionary, but the ever-bearing plants pleased me 

 most and truly made me happy. Not many 

 strawberries grown here around Glen St. Marys 

 but we hope to plant more in the future and 

 we will send you our orders. We want 1,000 

 ever-beaming plants next fall if we can get 

 hold the money. 



Believe me yours faithfully.
