THE KLONDYKE (Per) 



The Klondyke has stood the test of time, and still 

 the most planted of any early berry in a good many 

 sections of the South and Southwest, and as far North 

 as Maryland. It takes around fifty acres of Klondyke 

 plants every year to supply our trade, and we take 

 great pride in keeping the Townsend Strain of Klon- 

 dyke up to perfection. We practice both selection and 

 restriction methods in growing and keeping our strain 

 more than up to date, and we say without fear of con- 

 tradiction that we have the most fruitful strain of 

 Klondyke plants in the country. Hundreds of our reg- 

 ular customers will verify this statement. Every Klon- 

 dyke plant is grown on new rich virgin soil. It costs 

 us more to grow a thousand plants the Townsend way, 

 but they are worth many times the difference in price. 

 Mr. Wells writes us from Teachey, N. C, that he had 

 rather pay $10.00 per 1000 for Townsends Klondyke 

 than have others given to him free. Mr. Blackstone 

 from Chadbourn, N. C, harvested three times as many 

 quarts of fruit from Townsends plants, as those from 

 another Nursery. Mr. Duffield of Texas wrote us it 

 paid him to send across the Continent to get Townsends 

 plants. Mr. Drufield of Ky., wrote, our plants worth 

 more than we asked for them, as they produced enough 

 more fruit to pay the difference several times. I could 

 write of hundreds that say practically the same thing 

 about our strain of plants, but as we can not grow as 

 many as we sell at our reasonable price for quality 

 plants, it is useless to say more. 



THE~CRAWFORD 25 (Imp) 



The "Crawford 25" was introduced by us season 

 1924, as being one of the largest and most productive 

 late varieties. From the reports received this summer 

 I believe that it is going to more than make good our 

 claims. We have yet to see a more productive variety. 

 It is a strong hardy grower on most soils. Especially 

 adapted for commercial purpose where the number of 

 quarts are desired more than quality. In eating qual- 

 ity it is sadly disappointing as compared with some of 

 the better sorts. But in size and beauty it is wonderful. 

 Probably better in the Northern states than on our soils, 

 as one of our Ohio customers writes us that he considers 

 it the best late variety for his fancy trade, and says 

 that it fruits at least a week after all other varieties 

 are gone. We find it the latest on the list here, although 

 it begins to blossom soon after the early varieties. 

 Should be planted about two rows in a plot alternately 

 with such varieties as Chesapeake, Lupton, Ford or Big 

 Joe. Mascot would be a good one to catch the late 

 blooms. Say one row of Big Joe and one row Mascot 

 on either side of the two rows Crawford 25, this would 

 insure proper fertilization of both early and late 

 blooms. It is surely worth testing out in the Northern 

 States. 





THE MRS. PARKER (Imp) 



Mrs. Parker is from Ohio. A late variety of the old 

 Bubach type, and anyone desiring a variety of this kind 

 will find Mrs. Parker to equal the Bubach, if not sur- 

 pass it. Has a fine mild pleasant flavor and suited for 

 home use or nearby market where size and eating qual- 

 ity is demanded. Not suitable for long distant ship- 

 ment. Ripens in midseason and is wonderfully produc- 

 tive. Extra large healthy plants, does well on all soils. 



BUN SPECIAL (Per) 



Buns Special ripens early, fruit medium to large, 

 quality fair. 



THE BRANDYWINE (Per) 



Season late a good reliable market variety for most 

 sections especially the West and the Southern States, 

 where a good late sort is desired. Fruit large to very 

 large, dark red to center, firm. 



BIG WONDER — Discontinued, too many better va- 

 rieties. 



THE DR. BURRILL (Per) 



Dr. Burrill, originated by the late Dr. Reasoner, 

 claimed to be a cross between the Dunlap and Crescent. 

 We have never seen any difference between Dr. Bur- 

 rill and Sen. Dunlap. We think it a seedling that de- 

 veloped true to type of the Dunlap. As the old Senator 

 Dunlap is probably better known than most any variety 

 on the list it seems unnecessary to write a lengthy de- 

 scription here. Will say that if one has had no experi- 

 ence in growing berries that they can never go wrong 

 in planting Dunlap or Dr. Burrill. They are sure to 

 grow and yield a good crop of fine flavored berries if 

 given half a chance. We have the Dr. Burrill strain 

 kept separate for those who want it, and grow every 

 year a good supply of plants on our rich new soil. 



THE FEND ALL (Imp) 



The Fendal is a very late imperfect flowering vari- 

 ety, large size and heavy producer, quality ordinary, 

 fruits well on all soils. Where Quantity and not Qual- 

 ity is wanted it is O. K. 



SENATOR DUNLAP (Per) 



One of the most popular early to medium varieties 

 for the Northern half of the country. Easy to grow, 

 and easy to make money with. 



CORSICAN (Per) 



Corsican, N. Y., Uncle Jim, Ryckman, and etc., is a 

 medium to late variety of enormous size. Mild sweet 

 flavor, a heavy producer, and a strong grower. Suitable 

 for home use or fancy nearby market. 



THE JUDITH (DeLues) (Per) 



De Lues Judith is a perfect flowering variety, mid- 

 season. Strong hardy grower and very productive of 

 good quality fruit large in size. Hails from New York 

 State, where it is a growing favorite. 



THE GLEN MARY (Per) 



This is an old-time mid-season variety. A strong 

 hardy grower, fruit large, moderately firm and ordinary 

 in quality, does better in the Middle and North Atlantic 

 States. 



PARSONS BEAUTY (Per) 



Parsons Beauty is considered one of the best varie- 

 ties for canning, it being too soft in texture for a com- 

 mercial use. Large luscious berries produced in great 

 profusion. One of the very hardiest plants and grows 

 everywhere to perfection. 



THE AROMA (Per) 



Aroma is an old-time favorite in many sections, es- 

 pecially the South Western portion of the U. S. Large 

 size, quality good, very productive, season medium to 

 late. 



NICK OMER (Per) 



Nic Ohmer, is a medium late popular in the western 

 part of the country, also does well in various other sec- 

 tions. It has been on the market a long time, and lots 

 of growers will have no other late sort. Quality ranks 

 with the very best, fruit medium to large and firm. 



THE GIBSON (Per) 



Northern Growers find the Gibson very profitable, 

 but with most of the Strawberry sections, it is a very 

 poor choice. Fruit deteriorates rapidly after being 

 picked, making it almost impossible to get it in market 

 in good condition. Fruits large crops of large berries, 

 never fails to grow on most soils. We grow every year 

 a fine lot of these plants for our Northern customers 

 who claim our strain is superior to any strain of Gib- 

 son plants they can get. Strong healthy New Ground 

 plants at reasonable prices. Special prices on large 

 quantities.
