for WESTERN and 

 MID-WESTERN 



States 



COOPER. Medium early. A fairly good grower, seems 

 to have its greatest popularity in the Michigan sec- 

 tion. Fruit large, irregular in shape, moderately 

 firm, very productive. Lots better varieties. 



KLONDYKE. Early. A strong hardy grower, especially 

 adapted for the southern states. Fruit medium in 

 size, moderately productive of round, firm, good 

 quality berries. Not recommended for the North. 



RED HEART. Medium early variety, has been found 

 uniformly productive in the western states. It has 

 also been recommended for trial by the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture in the northern states from 

 New England to Maryland, and Wisconsin to Mis- 

 souri. Flesh is bright rich red, agreeable acid flavor, 

 and ranks high in dessert quality, also makes a 

 very vigorous plant growth. Its canning qualities 

 are of the highest type. 



SOUTHLAND. Extra early. The Southland is named 

 for its apparent adaptability to the southern states, 

 especially as a local market berry. Under favorable 

 grow;ng conditions ct Willard, North Carolina, it has 

 produced the fewest cull berries of any sort yet test- 

 ed there. The berries are large, bright red, with a 

 glossv surface. Flavor sweet, and are of the very 

 highest dessert quality. The berries, while firm, are 

 not so firm as the Blakemore or Bellmar. 



SUCCESS. Extra early. A good strong grower of good 

 quality for home use. Medium to large in size, very 

 productive, a general favorite. Grown extensively 

 in New Jersey market gardens. 



Because of their peculiar adapability to the growing and ship- 

 ping conditions of the western and mid-western states, we highly 

 recommend the Beaver, Red Gold and Senator Dunlap (or Dr. 

 Burrill) as worthy of the consideration of 1935 buyers of 

 Townsend strawberry plants. The descriptions below will assist 

 you materially in making your selection. 



Beaver 



An offspring of the Dr. Burrill and the Premier. Customer re- 

 ports indicate that the Beaver is, in many ways, superior to 

 the Premier. The fruit is medium large, of fine quality and of 

 extra firm texture, making it an ideal variety for long dis- 

 tance shipping. The fruit retains its firmness on the vines 

 after ripening so that it may be left there several days before 

 picking, if necessary. 



Red Gold 



An extra large variety, introduced and highly recommended 

 by the Gardner Nursery Co., of Iowa. An early variety, it is 

 fairly productive and of fine quality. If you have not already 

 tried this variety out in your territory, it will pay you to do so. 



Senator Dunlap 



Fruit good size, beautiful bright red, glossy and firm. Splendid 

 keeper and shipper, of excellent quality. Truly the "Poor 

 Man's Berry", as it will grow without fertilizer on any soil. 



Standard Varieties 



Worthy of Your Attention 



Among the ever-increasing number of strawberry varieties, certain 

 of the older ones continue to merit a high place in the strawberry 

 world, because their qualities have withstood the test of time and 

 because they continue to be good producers in the territories where 

 they are now used as a commercial and home-garden berry. The fol- 

 lowing list is meritorious and worthy of vour closest study. 



Success is grown extensively in New Jersey. Marshall has long been 

 a leader in the North. Dr. Burrill is still planted extensively through- 

 out the middle west. Other varieties listed are all highly productive. 

 DR. BURRILL. Closely resembles the Senator Dunlap variety. Plant 

 growth is very strong; making plenty of fruiting beds on light 

 sandy soils where other varieties will not grow. The fruit is of a 

 dark color; highly flavored, with plenty of juice. That makes them 

 a good canning or table berry. We do recommend it for long dis- 

 tance shipping berry. 

 CAMPBELLS. Extra early. Extra productive, of extra fine quality 

 berries, that everage 



medium in size. Color 

 a rich dark red, very 

 firm, dessert quality, 

 very good when fully 

 ripe, as it has a rich 

 spicy flavor. Has been on s^ 

 the market a long time, 

 and still popular where 

 an extra early market 

 berry is wanted. 

 FRUITLAND. Extra early. 

 Strong, hardy grower, 

 fruit large to extra large, 

 resembling Big Joe, ex- 

 ceedingly productive of 

 bright red, firm, good 

 quclity berries. Fruitland 

 is a general favorite with 

 growers here on the Pen- 

 insula, and has given 

 best satisfaction where- 

 ever sent.
