Townsend's Raspberry Plantings 



Are Grown for Plants Only 



Contrary to the common policy of 

 digging small plants from the mid- 

 dle of the rows and leaving the best 

 canes in the field for fruiting pur- 

 poses. Our policy is to dig the en- 

 tire field, thus giving you the best, 

 strongest and most vigorous plants.

CHIEF 



Is Ready 



for Market 



When Prices 



Are Highest 



It's the Earliest of All 

 Red Raspberries 



Selected 10 years ago from a planting of 4000 Latham Seedlings, 

 the Minnesota State Breeding Farm has given to the berry 

 growers of America the famous Latham's only rival "Chief." 



Chief has turned out to be by far the finest early Red for 

 general planting. The fruit is not quite as large as the Latham, 

 but is bright red, very firm and an unusual heavy yielder. The 

 Chief is practically immune from mosaic and mildew and is very 

 hardy. With the excellent keeping and shipping qualities of the 

 "Chief," the brilliancy of color and flavor appeal, makes it stand 

 out as a money making variety for the commercial grower and 

 market gardener, as well as a fine early variety for the back yard 

 garden.

NEWBURG RED RASPBERRY 



A NEW LATE RASPBERRY OF OUTSTANDING MERITS 



Newburg has gained popularity in a 

 very short time since its introduction. 

 Newburg was originated by the New 

 York State Agricultural Experimentation 

 Station, and is one of the most promis- 

 ing Red Raspberries in their State col- 

 lection. 



The fruit is firm, does not crumble, 

 and of large sice. It is rich red, very 



attractive, and in keeping and shipping 

 qualities it is of the best. Plants are 

 perfectly hardy and very productive, 

 making it an outstanding variety for the 

 Northern states. Our supply of New- 

 burg is limited and certainly would 

 advise our customers to place order 

 early if in need of a late all around 

 red raspberry.
