leading medium late strawberry 
in the eastern half of the coun- 
try, and has produced record- 
breaking crops wherever grown. 
In size and productiveness BIG 
JOE is second to but very few 
varieties, always bringing top 
price on the market. It, is a 
strong hearty plant grower and free 
from disease, such as rust or leaf spot, 
and a great money maker for most 
growers. Likes a mellow springy soil. 
—One of the most popular late varieties for the West and Middle West. 
It is fine in practically all strawberry sections and does well on nearly 
all soils. AROMA is a strong vigorous grower and very productive; a yield 
of 10,000 quarts per acre is common when TOWNSEND’S HIGH GRADE 
AROMA PLANTS are used. We have reports much better than the above. AROMA 
is an excellent shipping berry, and is planted largely by the largest Associations 
in the Western and Southwestern States. We have been furnishing AROMA plants to 
these Western Associations for the past twenty years, regularly every year. They tell 
us that it pays to send East and get our hardy grown plants, instead of planting their own grow- 
ing. In test fields it has been proven that fields grown from TOWNSEND’S PLANTS produced 
more than fifty per cent more fruit than fields set to native plants. These tests heing made in Ken- 
tucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Missouri every year, we try to grow enough plants to take care of 
our Western growers in good shape. We have an exceptionally fine stock now, with lower prices. 
AROMA PLANTS can be shipped any time from November Ist to May Ist.
