HORSEY (Per) 
Extra Early, Very Large, Good Quality. 
Horsey—A perfect flowering variety that begins 
to ripen very early. This is my second choice of all the 
extra early varieties. Size medium to very large, firm 
and sub-acid. Color rich dark red to the center, has no 
green tips, produces abundantly and is almost frost- 
proof. Horsey is a strong healthy plant maker and does 
well on most soils. I can cheerfully recommend it as a 
good commercial variety for all sections. 
EXCELSIOR, (Per) 
Very Early 
Excelsior—A perfect flowering variety that was in 
great demand in the South before the introduction of 
the Townsend Missionary. Season is very early, an 
for that reason there is still some demand for Excelsior 
plants. Fruit is very small and sour, and as soon as 
more desirable varieties are on the market there is not 
much sale for this berry. We still have a small stock 
of the old reliable strain. 
TOWNSEND’S 
MISSIONARY (Per) 
The Leading Southern Berry. 
Missionary—For more than); 
fifteen years this has been the; 
leading early variety in Florida, 
as well as all other Southern 
states, and has proven to be an 
Ideal berry for the Southern 
Sections of the country. We in- | 
troduced this variety to the} 
Southern Growers in 1906—its 
great merits soon spread like 
wild fire and for the past fifteen 
years we have seldom been able 
to supply the great demand for 
our TOWNSENDS’ MISSION- 
ARY PLANTS, as this is the 
name they are calledin the South. 
Again we have grown a very 
large acreage to Missionary. The 
quality will be the very best for 
years as practically all are on

LADY THOMPSON, (Per) 
Early To Mid-Season. 
Lady Thompson—A perfect flowering variety that 
was at one time a leader in the Southern states, but 
gave away to such varieties as Missionary and Klon- 
dyke. It is very productive, but poor in quality not 
good any where else except the South. 
EARLY JERSEY GIANT, (Per) 
Extra Early, Very Large 
Early Jersey Giant—A perfect flowering variety 
that is proving very popular in the Northern half of the 
country, size very large, quality good, a medium pro- 
ductive variety as compared with such varieties as Pre- 
mier. Very strong healthy plant maker on most soils. 
EARLY OZARK, (Per) 
Extra Early, Very Large. 
_ Early Ozark—One of the earliest varieties on the 
list. Of the Excelsior quality, only it is much larger, 
and a_great producer of rich dark berries very tart. 
Does best on heavy rich soil, hill system. 
new light soil, and the growing 
season has been ideal for strong 
healthy vigorous plants. 
NOTE—Besides our regular acreage of Nursery 
stock Missionary plants, we have grown ten acres of 
special select plants especially for our Florida trade 
who are willing to pay the extra price and get the extra 
large heavy crowned plants. The growing of this extra 
stock in commercial quantities will be continued each 
year and offered our customers at the extra cost of 
growing under our method of selection. 
There is no section in the country that needs a large 
stocky heavy crowned plant more than the Florida 
Growers do. Those plants are used by the Florida 
growers as stock plants to grow their season’s supply

from. The extra large, well rooted plant will take hold 
and grow as soon as set and will prove much cheaper in 
the end than the smaller Nursery grown plant that is 
grown in a matted bed no matter how much selection is 
made. For several years we have sold these extra select 
stock plants to some of our most up-to-date Florida cus- 
tomers and they never fail to come back for this high 
grade stock. The price of this stock is just double the 
amount charged for the regular Townsend Missionary 
Plants. All orders for this extra select stock should 
be placed in January or February at the latest.
