6 E. W. TOWNSEND & SONS’ STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
(PERFECT 
FLOWERING) 
A big money-maker for 
the market gardener. Last 
Spring was our first year 
to fruit ABERDEEN. It 
Surpassed our expecta- 
tions in every way. In 
productiveness it led all 
other varieties. 
The size was medium 
to large, averaging about 
same as Premier. While 
we have seen it listed as 
a moderately firm berry, 
it showed on our grounds 
to be very firm, the color 
a rich bright red of uniform size. The 
fruiting season lasting about three weeks 
begins a few days later than Premier. 
A mighty fine hardy plant to grow, and 
we feel reasonably sure that most grow- 
ers will find it a profitable addition to 
their list. Prof. Watts in his-article in 
Market Growers Journal, August 1, 1930, states that 
in Pennsylvania it ranked first, Premier second and 
Wm. Belt third. 
NOTEH.— Premier is the most extensively grown 
berry in Pennsylvania. And it takes a real berry to 
take first place over it with the Pennsylvania growers. 
A Fine Early 
Variety for 
the North. 
(PERFECT FLOWERING) 
—Season—Very early to ripen. Fruit 
large to extra large. Firm enough to be 
classed as a good shipper. Color bright 
red with a heavy double green calix that 
resembles the Big Joe. Flavor extra 
good, being mild and sweet. Berries 
are round to top shape, being very uni- 
form in size. Exceedingly productive. 
Is one of the very best plant makers on 
average soil. Plants are dark green 
throughout the growing and fruiting 
season and not subject to rust. FRUIT- 
LAND is a perfect flowering variety, has 
an extra large bloom that carries an 
abundance of pollen, which makes it ex- 
tremely valuable to plant with other 
varieties of its season, and especially 
Fruitland 
along with such varieties as Howard’s wal a 
Supreme. We fruited it again the past spring, and it was Top Prices 
equal in every respect to any early variety on our eal 
grounds, and surpassed most of them. And never failed 
to sell for at least $1.00 per crate more over Premier.
