E. W. TOWNSEND, Strawberry Specialist 



Baltimore. 



SUCCESS (Per.). A variety that has made good 

 on its own merits, has never had any boastful 

 advertising-, but when once sold in a community 

 becomes a favorite; fruit large to extra large, 

 good quality, firm and productive; has a fine ap- 

 pearance. Plants strong and healthy. 



EKEY (o. I. C. (Per.). This variety is known 

 by two names at least, and is a general favor- 

 ite wherever grown, is a make of extra large 

 plants that holds the fruit well from the ground, 

 plants show no blemish of rust and is a sure 

 cropper; fruit large and pointed with extra fine 

 flavor; firm and productive; will sell well, ship 

 well and eat well. Is largely grown in all the 

 berry districts of the East, and known by most 

 growers as the Ekey. I have a fine supply of 

 plants at low prices. 



IMP. LADY THOMPSON (Per.) This is an old 

 tried variety and does not need any description; 

 has always had its greatest popularity in the 

 South, but the Missionary knocked them out in 

 many of their strongholds. I always grow a 

 large lot of Thompson plants and usually sell 

 out. My stock is fine this season and I can sup- 

 ply all who send me their orders. 



Klondyke 



Klondyke (Per.) Medium early and popular. 



Needs no description, as it is generally grown 

 all over the country. I will add that my stock 

 of Klondyke plants is probably larger than 

 grown by any other plant grower in the coun- 

 try and all are from selected stock and will 

 bear two quarts where plants set from fields 



with no selection will bear one. I have plenty 

 of customers that back me up in this statement 

 and some of them even make it stronger than 

 the above. If you are in the market for Klon- 

 dyke let Townsend supply you. My prices are 

 low and better stock cannot be had. I sell more 

 Klondyke and Missionary plants every season 

 than any other nurseries in the world. I supply 

 the leading berry associations with these varie- 

 ties by the hundreds of thousands. Let me know 

 your wants before you place your order this sea- 

 son. Samples and testimonials will be furnished 

 free. 



HIGHLAND (Imp.) A grower of strong upright 

 plants, very productive and good quality of 

 fruit, moderate plant maker, fruit large, is 

 mostly grown in the West. Not a favorite in 

 some sections. 



TENN. PROLIFIC (Per.) This in an old true va- 

 riety. Needs no description. Has been on the 

 list a long time and is likely to remain a long 

 time yet. Fruit large and good quality, very 

 productive. 



Helen Davis 



Helen Davis (Per.). Fruit medium to large, 

 of verj' good quality. Plants are productive, 

 makes a strong growth and is proving very 

 promising, with all the large growers. Holds up 

 well in size and calyx remains green, color crim- 

 son to the center. Firm enough for a good 

 shipper. The quality is one of its strongest 

 points. This is a variety that you will not go 

 wrong in planting. I have a fine stock of Thor- 

 oughbred plants to offer you this season.

 Dear Mr. Townsend: — I have the dewberry plants and they look good to me; strong and look 

 just like they would just have to live. Respectfully,
