7 STRAWBERRY VARIETIESSj 

 ^ ^ All Leaders In Certain Sections ! 



rpHAT we may furnish the berry growers of the coun-j 

 ■^ try the most selective list of varieties to be found 

 any where, the following varieties are offered to com- 

 plete our long list. They are well known to the growers 

 in certain sections of the country, producing heavy 

 yields of fine quality fruit. Most of them are considered 

 to be the leading varieties in their respective section. 



BEIiIiMAB (Early). Bellmar is recommended for the Southern 

 States, including Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. It ranks 

 high as an early berry because of its bright, rich red appearance 

 and heavy crops produced, even in dry regions. 



XIiONDYKi: (Early). This is an old variety being grown quite 

 extensively now in North Carolina, South Carolina, Southern 

 Illinois, Tennessee, and Alabama. The berries are very bright, 

 round, firm, and an excellent shipper. TOWNSEND'S strain of 

 KLONDYKE is being used by the largest associations in the 

 SOUTH. 



POPULAR LATE VARIETIES 



IiUPTON. A favorite late variety for New Jersey and Penna. 

 Berries are lar^e, attractive in appearance and an excellent 

 shipper. It is not as good a plant maker or producer as Town 

 King; not as heavy producer as Chesapeake. If you have a trade 

 that wants berries with a fancy appearance, Lupton will serve 

 you well, although the eating quality is not as good as some 

 - of the other late varieties. 



MISSIONARY 



Townsend's Select Strcdn Stock 



Are New Ground Grown— Double Inspected 



Townsend's Missionary is unquestionably 

 the leading Southern Variety especially in 

 the State of Florida. As introducers of this 

 famous variety we have always taken pride 

 in its achievements in the south. While 

 it is a known fact that varieties (no mat- 

 ter how good they are when introduced) 

 can run down in yields and vitality over a 

 period of years. Through our methods of 

 plant selection and breeding for Heavier 

 Yields, we have succeeded in growing even 

 a better strain of High Yielding Missionary 

 than originally introduced in 1906. Growers 

 in the past have been buying on price. How- 

 ever they have come to realize that this is 

 not always the best investment, and in all 

 Southern States you will now find growers 

 sticking to the Missionary Strain as grown 

 by Townsends',

FANCY JLdZiZ BERRY for the 

 NORTHERN and CENTRAL STATES 



For greatest return on the dollar invested, we believe that no 

 other strawberry variety compares with Townsends' Select Strain 

 Aroma. Large berry growing associations, whose familiarity with 

 Aroma was already vast, have found our strain superior in qiJal- 

 ity to all others. Each year we grow millions of plants to supply 

 the enormous Aroma demand by these organizations. If you have 

 not tried this marvelous variety, we urge you to place your order 

 with us now — we know you'll be amazed and pleased at the 

 results! 



WORLD'S-WONDER 



• The largest berry grown — fruiting season late 



The greatest asset to World's Wonder is its size. We know of no 

 other berry that will equal it in this respect. We have picked 

 these berries out of our test plots, when nine berries filled a 

 quart. Quality good, moderate firm and fairly productive, suitable 

 for home use and nearby market. Our supply of this grand variety 

 is limited, so if you are in need of a fancy, large berry, order early.

N. J. AGR. COLLEGE 



At the New Jersey's State trial grounds, 

 Pathfinder was selected as the outstanding 

 variety. It is an enormous producer of large 

 berries and of fine texture with a good shape. 

 Makes vigorous plant growth and a good 

 fruiting bed. Fruit is uniform in shape, time 

 of ripening about same season as Dorsett and 

 Fairfax. Townsends' Strain of Pathfinder has 

 been propagated from the original strain, 

 direct from New Jersey. We recommend that 

 you give it a trial this year, we will reserve 

 plants when your order is received and ship 

 at proper planting time.
