A Townsend's Introduction That 

 Has Stood the Test of Years 



FORD, like Premier is frost resistant 

 and has made hundreds of our custom- 

 ers big money when other late varieties 

 were killed by frost. Ford is a strong, 

 hardy plant grower on all soils. Fruit 

 very large, firm and of good quality; 

 ranks with the very best in production. Ford 

 will make too many plants if not kept thinned 

 out. When set in the matted row system, keep 

 it thinned out and you will not be disappointed 

 in this grand variety. Another thing about 

 Ford, in all our years of growing this variety, 

 we have yet to see any signs of rust or heard 

 of a crop failure. 



A field of Ford as above pictured is like having 

 money in the bank 



FORD 



is a late variety that pro- 

 duces when other varieties 

 fail. We heartily recommend it 

 for a late berry. 



We hope you v/ill enjoy our catalogue also 

 and that we may have your order this year.

BIG LATE 



Excellent for Dessert Qualities 



A Townsend introduction, known 

 as the Aristocrat, for the dessert 

 qualities found in this berry. Proven 

 a good money maker for the market 

 gardener, as it is a heavy producer 

 on most any ordinary soils. Fi'uit 

 medium to large; bright, glossy red. 

 Fruit stems hold the berries well up 

 off the ground. 



LUPTON 



A Favorite Late Variety for 

 New Jersey and Penn. 



Originated in New Jer- 

 sey and widely grown in 

 that state, where it seems 

 to be at its best. We can 

 also recommend it for 

 Ohio, New York. West Vir- 

 ginia and Pennsylvania. 

 Berries are large, attrac- 

 tive in appearance and an 

 excellent shipper. Under 

 tests while up with the 

 average late berry, it was 

 not as good a producer as 

 TownKing or Chesa- 

 peake. Because of its 

 large size and attractive 

 color it always demands 

 top prices. If you have 

 trade wanting berries of 

 fancy appearance Lupton 

 will serve you well, al- 

 though the eating quality 

 is not as good as some of 

 the other late varieties.
