KLONDYKE 
Klondyke 
Klondyke is a favorite for the South. What 
the Dunlap is to the North, and at this time 
Klondyke has become almost a universal variety. 
The past season we sold Klondyke plants to a 
at many northern customers in large lots. 
he Klondyke is better known, however, in the 
South land. One fauit a great many growers 
have with the Klondyke ts they claim it a shy 
fruiter. We think if these growers would buy 
their stock plants from Townsend they would 
soon find the Klondyke a fairly good fruiter, 
and a money-maker. Try our Klondyke this 
@eason. Hundreds of other growers have found 
our plants far better than the strain they had 
been used to. 
This vartety ranks with the Missionary and 
' Dunlap as to popularity. Has been grown a 
wood many years and tested in all parts of the 
country. Is noted for its good shipping quali- 
ties and appearance. We have probably one of 
se best strains of Klondyke. We often get let- 
ers saying that our plants produce more than 
twice as many berries per acre as plants from 
other sources We huve grown this variety for 
& good many years for fruit and have done 
much experimenting with it in breding our 
stock. In the first place we found that there 
was likely to be a great many barren plants 
in the Klondvke beds. When we examined 
some of our neighbor's flelds who had practiced 
the method of taking plants from the middle of 
the rows continuously year after year we found 
still more barren plants in the fruiting beds. We 
beran to select our propagating plants late in 
the season from the plants that showed the 
Jargest crowns and most fruit stems being sure 
nothing else were taken when setting our plots. 
In the first year we could see a 50 per cent. 
change between our trial beds and our fields, 
Making a still more careful selection another 
year we found not only a fifty per cent change, 
IF IT'S KLONDYKE—SEE TOWNSEND FIRST. 
DYKE HOLDS THE WORLDS RECORD FOR PRODUCTION. 
but more than one hundred per cent benefit is 
the favor of selection. We have practiced this 
method ever since, and have built up a WwoR- 
derful productive strain of Klondyke plants 
We have letters on file that state our Klondyke 
plants are cheaper at. $10.00 per 1000 than the 
average plants would be if given free.
