12 E. W. TOWNSEND & SONS’ STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
—Ford is a Townsend pro- 
duction, and one of which 
we are proud. Ford, like 
Premier, is frost resistant, 
and has made hundreds of 
our customers big money 
when other late varieties 
were __ killed. A strong 
hardy plant grower on all soils. 
Fruit very large, firm and of good 
quality ; ranks with the very best 
in production. Ford will make 
too many plants if not restricted, 
and for this reason should be get 
wide in the rows and grown in 
narrow matted rows or in hills. 
We have never seen a rust blem- 
ish on any Ford plant in 10 years 
growing it, and never heard of 
a erop failure. Plant Ford and 
you will not go astray. 
—Gandy is a very late 
variety and well known 
to most growers. . Ex- 
cellent quality. Very 
firm and classed as one 
of the best shippers on 
the list. Gandy must 
be planted on low 
springy soil to do its 
best. When conditions 
are right Gandy is a valuable variety, as it has 
size, quality and appearance. 
—A very large handsome berry and 
Lupton an excellent shipper. Compares in 
size with Chesapeake. Very attractive in ap- 
pearance and a good seller on all markets. Makes 
plenty of strong vigorous plants. Not quite as 
productive as Chesapeake, but will hold size 
longer and nearly every berry good perfect one. 
A. R. SNAILES, California, Ohio, writes: 
I ordered 1000 Mascot plants from you in the Spring of 
1930, and in mid-summer right in the midst of the worst 
drought on record. I went over my patch and found more 
than 1100 plants growing fine. Several rows with 180 plants 
to the row without a single missing plant. I usually think 
if I have a ’80 to 790 per cent stand that is good. But when 
I have a 110 per cent togrow. Well that is going some. When 
I need more plants you can imagine where I will buy them. 
—The Washington hails from the State of Washington. 
FORD. 
Large Dark Red. 
(Per). — One 
of the very 
latest  varie- 
ties. A strong 
grower of me- 
dium size and 
healthy plants. Very 
productive, and firm 
enough for a distant shipper. 
Fruit extra large, of the 
Gandy type. 
—Where an oversize berry is 
wanted, World’s Wonder will 
fill the bill. One of the larg- 
WORLD’S 
WONDER est and ugliest berries on the 
list. I have seen these berries 
as large as 10 inches around, seven berries filling 
a quart basket. The flavor is very mild and 
Sweet; flesh soft, suitable only for home use or 
local market. Very productive and good grower. 
We sell millions of these plants every year. 
WORLD’S WONDER—A LONG SEASON VARIETY 
Poplar Ridge, New York, April 30, 1930. 
Dear Sirs:—The WORLD’S WONDER seems to be the 
best adapted to our soils of any of the fourteen varieties 
I have. They are the largest berries I ever. saw and every 
berry matures. It is a long season berry, riepning in mid- 
season until very late. AG LIM WS: 
It is 
Fruits here medium to late. Fruit is 
Quality excellent. Firm enough to 
be classed as a commercial variety, and on account of its qual- 
ity is eSpecially recommended as a variety for home use. 
‘nqlon of recent introduction. 
Is large, dark red in color. 
One large grower who has 
fruited it states that when 
you see Washington fruiting that you will 
see the most wonderful sight that you have 
ever seen in strawberries. It is called the 
Honey Sweet by some growers on 
account of its carrying so much 
sugar. It is enormously produc- 
tive, and should be a good mate 
for our New ‘‘Howard’s Supreme,”’ 
being of about the same season, 
same color, and size. We recom- 
mend that our customers give 
Washington a trial this season. 
Our stock of plants is direct 
from the introducers from the¢ 
State of Washington, and our 
prices are very low. 
Washington.
