unfilled by the wholesale. We will sell our 

 entire stock at price quoted, but should we 

 have to go out and buy will have to charge 

 market price. 



The above is our last year's description of 

 the Joe, and I wish to add that again it was 

 the best paying variety at our station. Truly 

 a remarkable variety. Come to stay. 



Our Plants Always Satisfy 



Waterloo, Iowa, December 27, 1915. 

 Dear Sir — The plants that you sent me last 

 Spring arrived in fine shape, they were all good 

 plants, I send for plants every year, but never 

 got any plants that were as good as yours. Every 

 plant grew fine. I thank you very much for 

 your services. Respectfully, 



Mr. Geo. K. 



OUR HARDY PLANTS CARRY ACROSS THE 



COUNTRY EVEN IN JUNE, AND 

 EVERY PLANT GROWS. 



Tower City, N. D., ,Tulv 20, 1916. 

 Mr. E. W. Townsend, 

 Salisbury, Md. 



Dear Sir — Possibly you will be interested to 

 hear in regard to the ever-bearing strawberry 

 plants that you sent me last month. The plants 

 arrived on the 11th of June in fine condition (ten 

 best manner. . 



The remarkable part is that they are all In 

 blossom, and some of the plants have fruit al- 

 ready. Considering the fact that the plants were 

 shipped so far and so late in the season, and 

 then being on the road ten days, it is really 

 remarkable. 



This is indeed quite a compliment to you. 

 Demonstrating we think that you have fine hardy 

 plants. It is possible that we shall wish quite 

 a few plants next season, and shall certainly keep 

 you in mind. Yours very truly, 



E. F. M. 



A Handful of 

 Klondyke 



Klondyke (Per). — Taking the country 

 over, the Klondye, is probably the most 

 largely grown variety. It is used as the lead- 

 ing mid-season variety, although the South, 

 and the Northern States use it for the main 

 early variety. It is one of the very best ship- 

 pers, ranking with the Missionary, in this re- 

 spect, and will nearly always bring a premium 

 over any other variety, the Klondyke is a 

 vigorous grower, and is adapted to a wide 

 variety of soils. 



The large associations of the Southwest are 

 planting Klondyke for their main crop. 

 Through Maryland and Delaware the largest 

 berry sections in the world, Klondyke is con- 

 sidered the leader for long distant shipments. 

 Here in Maryland there is but few days dif- 

 ference in the ripening of the Missionary and 

 the Klondyke, the Klondyke being a few days 

 later. But in the South the Klondyke is sev- 

 eral weeks later than Missionary (Florida). 

 We grow about same amount of plants of 

 both varieties, and have all Klondyke plants 

 on new land, also healthy strong and guar- 

 anteed productive, 



(See testimonials as to big yields.) 



Excelsior 



Rewastico 



Rewastico (Per), — Late in season, large 

 size, firm, good quality, and a good productive 

 variety; in plant growth it is ideal in every re- 

 spect. We do not know what the variety is 

 doing elsewhere, but it is surely a good one 

 here. Mr. Allen claims that it is the only 

 real competitor that the Chesapeake has. We 

 think it a better variety in many respects 

 than the Chesapeake. We had a good, large 

 acreage in Rewastico for fruit the past season, 

 and we were delighted with our results. We 

 shall continue to plant it and recommend it 

 to our friends. 



BEST HE EVER SAW 



Sanford, Fla. 

 Mr. E. W. Townsend, 



Dear Sir — Enclose please find another order for 

 plants. The Missionary and Klondyke I got from 

 you are all growing fine, and are the best lot I 

 ever saw. I assure you I appreciate your kind- 

 ness enough to give you all my future business. 

 Yours truly, O. W. B. 



Note — I assure you, Mr. Wiggins, that your 

 business has been appreciated, and that I shall 

 continue to do my best to please both you and 

 your friends.— E. W. T.
