TOWNSEND NURSERIES INC. — SALISBURY — MARYLAND 





^^ Latham has been the standard by which 

 ^P raspberries have been judged for years. 

 This Blue Ribbon winner is unexcelled and 

 unchallenged. Unprecedented enthusiasm and 

 a demand that far surpasses the supply, has 

 made this sensational berry a vertiable king in 

 the berry world. Latham, without a doubt, is 

 the finest looking berry on the market, and is 

 famous with commercial growers because it 

 produces more berries than any other variety 

 — and does so with an AMAZINGLY 

 SMALL AMOUNT OF CARE. 

 Sensational profits are a glowing tribute 

 to Latham's king size, luscious red fruit — 

 so appealing to buyers because of its ap- 

 petizing appearance and delightful flavor. 

 This tremendously productive variety is 

 a tail, vigorous grower, and planters 

 report that an average of $1000 per 

 acre of plants is realized with Latham. 

 In addition to this, Latham's firmness 

 and lasting qualities make it an excel- 

 lent shipper. Free from mosaic, 

 Townsend's Latham's is one var.ety 

 you can't afford to pass up. Order 

 some today — we'll hold them until 

 you're ready to plant. Latham can't 

 miss — whetner you raise to sell or 

 to serve.

VERY EARLY 

 VERY LARGE 

 VERY HARDY 



Coming to you as an improvement over all other early 

 varieties, Sunrise, introduced by the New Jersey Experi- 

 mental Station, is a new variety that more than stands out 

 in the early field. Its bright, glowing red extra large 

 berries, its long picking season (often producing fruit when 

 Latham is done), and its high quality and choice flavor 



make it a "must" with many growers. 



Townsend's Sunrise plants are healthy and 

 vigorous growers — excellent for shipping 

 and fine for canning. Supply limited —

THE EARLIEST RASPBERRY 

 OF THEM ALL 



POSSESSING some of the best characteristics 

 of its parent, Latham, Chief is finding no 

 competition in the very early raspberry 

 market. It was selected from a planting of 4000 

 Latham seedings by the Minnesota State Breed- 

 ing Farm, and has become the best early red 

 for general planting — surpassing all others. It 

 has proven itself, by performance in the field, 

 to be a hardy, disease-resistant, heavy cropper 

 of unexcelled quality. Chief ripens ten days 

 earlier than Latham, and the fruit, while not 

 quite as large as Latham, is firm, bright red 

 color, an excellent shipper, and reaches the 

 market when berries are at a premium. And, 

 of course. Chief is immune to mosaic and mil- 

 dew, and, like Latham, is an unusually heavy 

 producer. All of these facts add up to an 

 imposing score, and make Chief a good money 

 maker on any market anywhere.
