Townsend's Late Champion 



Townsend's Late Champion (Per). — In- 

 troduced by us several years ago and while 

 we never gave it any boastful advertising it 

 has steadily grown on its merits, until now it 

 is almost as well known as any of the late 

 varieties. Some of the largest growing sec- 

 tions of the country planted this variety more 

 largely than any other the past season. 

 Bridgeville, Del., growers are discarding 

 many of their old-time favorites for this one. 

 In talking to a government expert who made 

 a tour of the country this year in search 

 of the best varieties of small fruits stated to 

 me after visiting Bridgeville, the past season, 

 that the Townsend was the best berry that he 

 saw at Bridgeville. Now this is without doubt 

 the greatest strav/berry section of the coun- 

 try, and the growers are up-to-date in the 

 varieties, growing, marketing, etc., and when 

 a variety can take the position among such 

 growers it surely has merit worth w^hile. We 

 describe it as follows: 



Season just ahead of the Gandy; is a 

 strong, hardy grower, making plenty of 

 strong, deep-rooted plants; will stand more 

 dry weather than most late varieties; fruit 

 large to extra large; firm, and with fine 

 aromatic flavor; color bright red to the 

 center. 



We have received letters advising us that 

 $750 had been made from one acre. Buy 

 your plants from the originators. 



Magic Gem 



Magic Gem (Per). — A mid-season to late 

 variety, originated by Edw. Vance, of Idaho. 

 This variety has been grown several years by 

 the originator in a large, commercial way. 

 Owing to the large size, quality and its long 

 fruiting season, Mr. Vance has been able to 

 control the local market for a long time and 

 until recently has refused to sell any plants 

 at any price. We consider our friends lucky 

 to be able to secure this wonderful variety. 



We purchased a small stock of plants from 

 the R. M. Kellogg Co., the introducers, the 

 past season and they have made a fine growth. 

 We let some of the plants fruit and the berries 

 were really perfect gems, and we think that 

 the name is appropriate to the berry. We 

 recommend it for trial. 



Early Jersey Giant 



Early Jersey Giant (Per). — One of Van 

 Fleets' introductions, ripens early, very large, 

 firm and of good quality, color scarlet crim- 

 son, shape is slightly pointed. Exceedingly 

 showy and attractive. A good, strong, grow- 

 er and heavy yielder. One of our best sellers 

 the past season, and we hear a good many 

 extra good reports from it. We recommend 

 it for trial.

Aroma 



Aroma (Per). — A medium to late old stand- 

 ard variety that has proven itself in nearly all 

 sections of the country. Always in demand 

 wherever strawberries are grown. The past 

 season we had more calls than ever for it from 

 the South. It is also grown largely on the 

 East Coast and is the leader in the Middle 

 States. 



Foliage dark green and a good, strong grow- 

 er. Fruit rich in color, very large and firm; 

 flavor the very best; very productive, and a 

 sure winne reverywhere. We grow each season 

 a very large acreage in plants as we furnish 

 several large associations who will have nothing 

 as their late variety but Aroma. This season 

 we have something like 3.000.000 plants strictly 

 up to TOWNSEND STANDARD. Ask for 

 special prices on large lots. 



Amanda 



Amanda (Per). — Extra large in size; a hea%-y 

 cropper. Fruit moderately firm, and of good 

 quality. Is a favorite with market garduers 

 who are looking for large, fancy berries for 

 local markets.
