An Everbearing Strawberry Plant Field Ready For Your 1919 Orders. 



KELLOGG PRIZE (Imp.) 



We have grown this variety for several 

 years and have found it a most worthy variety 

 and one that is steadily growing in popularity. 

 Season very late. Should be properly mated 

 with the very late varieties, such as Chesa- 

 peake, Ford, Worlds Wonder, Baltimore, etc. 

 In plant growth it is fine, and produces heavily 

 of wonderful large berries that are uniform in 

 size and color when properly polinized. Is 

 firm enough for a good shipping variety, and 

 always brings highest market price. We have 

 set this variety for fruit for past four years 

 and find it a great money-maker. If you have 

 not grown Kellogg Prize, get some this year, 

 you will like it. 



MASCOT (per) Latest. 



One of the latest varieties grown. Com- 

 mences to fruit with Gandy and continues a- 

 lt)0ut ten days longer. Size, large to very large; 

 firm and with good quality; productive. Is a 

 gi-eat droughth resister. We have had Mascot 

 herries stand the droughth when all others 

 failed. Until we got such varieties as Peer- 

 less, iKng and Superb ever-bearing varieties 

 to prolong our main crop we planted largely 

 of the Mascot, but now we use the ever-bear- 

 ing mostly. 



Michaelville, la.. May 5th, 1918. 



Dear Mr. Townsend : — Want to thank you for filling' 

 nay order so nice. You certainly are liberal in count, 

 giving me much more than I expected or paid for. 

 There was nearly enough to set an acre.

 E. W. Tov/nsend, Salisbury, Md. 



Our order No. 9821 arrived April 27th 

 in good order and we thank you for such 

 good count and excellent plants. The spring 

 of 1916 we set out 4500 of your plants, 1000 

 of which were Early Ozark. When they 

 fruited last year the vines were loaded and 

 were a week to ten days ahead of other va- 

 rieties here. We want more plants this 

 fall. 



Mrs. Chas. C. Marceline, Mass. 



From Delaware : — I am sending to you again for 

 plants, somehow your plants beat the Delaware plants 

 growing. I have never found any plants to equal Town- 

 send's. Check inclosed for $90.00. If out of Joe John- 

 son, send Townsend's Late, both do well here. J. H. 

 Johnstown, Pa., July 1st, 1918. 



I am writing you at this early date in order to have 

 you reserve for my next spring planting 10,000 Straw- 

 berry plants. I enclose $25.00 on the order as good 

 faith to take the plants. I am sorry I did not give you 

 all my order last year. I lost more than $500 by getting 

 part of my plants from a Delaware Grower. There was 

 no comparison between your plants and his with the 

 same varieties. Yours netted me more than $1000 per 

 acre. F. G-. P. 



Lee Count Va., June 6th, 1918. 



I am well pleased with the plants you sent to me. 

 We are having a severe drought and they are standing 

 it exceedingly well. Had some very nice berries on 

 them, best I ever saw for spring set plants. 



Yours truly, R. A. WOOD. 



TOWNSEND'S PLANTS BEST THAT GO TO FLORIDA. 



Plant City, Florida, April 2, 1918. 

 Enclosed find another order for 10,000 Missionary- This makes in all 32,500 plants 

 ordered from you this season. There are no plants that conrie to Plant City that gives 

 the satisfaction at fruiting time that Townsend's do. This is the twefth year I have 

 handled your plants. Wishing you a continued success, I am. 



Yours very truly, H. W.
