PICK BERRIES 10 WEEKS AFTER SETTING 



The Fallbearing or Everbearing varieties of strawberries are gaining in 

 popularity throughout the country. They are no more trouble to grow 

 and produce a good crop of berries than any other standard varieties. 

 You cultivate and pick berries all summer and fall, the first year plants 

 are set and another full crop in June at regular strawberry time. Hun- 

 dreds of our women customers are planting them in their gardens, growing 

 sufficient fruit to furnish the table with strawberries throughout the sum- 

 mer and fall; quite a few of them report almost un- 

 believable profits from small plantings. The Fallbear- 

 ing have also found a spot in the hearts of the market 

 gardeners, who find a ready sale on nearby markets and 

 local trade, also lending attractiveness to their road- 

 side markets during the late summer and fall months, 

 where they bring a fancy price. 



On our farms we grow several acres for market each year 

 and have found them to be one of the most profitable crops 

 that we can grow. As I write here, November 7th, we just 

 received a telegram from our New York representative wiring 

 us that our Gem and Mastodon berries sold for 22c a pint, 

 which we consider an exceptionally fine price and one that 

 most any grower of strawberries can make a handsome 

 profit at. 



Customers write us that our True Blue Mastodon averaged 

 over one quart to every plant set, while others write that they 

 made as high as $450.00 from just one everbearing garden. 

 Another party writes that they made $150.00 from 1000 

 plants. Therefore we can safely say that if you want to make 

 some ready cash, grow these Big Red Fallbearing Berries and 

 we know that you will not be disappointed with the results 

 obtained from Townsend's Selected Strain. We have a fine 

 bunch of "Husky Plants" to fill your orders with this year. 

 Let us preserve some of these plants for you and make ship- 

 ment at proper planting time, which is early spring. 



Keep in mind that all varieties of Strawberries are not 

 Fallbearing. The Mastodon, Gem, Lucky Strike, and Aldrich, 

 which we list in our catalogue, are true Fallbearing sorts and 

 are the ones that you should plant for your Fall crop. 



Our customers are making big profits on 

 Townsend's "selected strain" Fallbearing 

 strawberries. Write for free culture guide

MASTODON (Pallbearing-) is one of the largest Fallbear- 

 ing Strawberries. Attractive in size and color with a nice 

 large green cap, bringing top prices on the Fall market. It is 

 also noted for producing an abundance of fruit again during 

 the early summer harvest along with other June fruiting 

 varieties. This variety should be grown by all who are inter- 

 ested in Everbearing Strawberries. Growers who purchased 

 our Mastodon plants in small lots of a few hundred, years 

 ago, are now purchasing in lots of several thousand. Some 

 customers who have their roadside markets grow several 

 acres each year, and buy our plants every year to reset a new 

 bed. We have a fine crop of Mastodon plants this year, but 

 possibly not enough to go around, and we advise our cus- 

 tomers to get their orders in early if they want to be sure 

 of getting Townsend's Selected strain of Mastodon.
