TOWNSEND'S BIG LATE (Imp.) 

 Is the leading standard late variety in most sections of the country. 



Quality. 



Leads all others in 



our acreage in Ford plants every year or return hundreds of orders 

 late in season. This year we have more than 3,000,000 Ford plants 

 on our new soil. We hope to be able to fill every order sent to us. 

 In ordering your Ford plants remember that there is another vari- 

 ety out under this name. Get your plants from Townsend's Nur- 

 sery and you will get the Genuine Ford, which is the real Packard 

 as one of our customers wrote. Next in order is the Ford's Mate — 

 Townsend's Big Late. 



TOWNSEND BIG LATE (Imp) 



Big Late was Originated and Introduced by the Townsend Nur- 

 sery (has been sold under many different names, which shows its 

 popularity,) ten years ago. We introduced Big Late as the one best 

 quality berry for every use and purpose. Big Late stands out to- 

 day unchallenged as the Aristocrat of the late standard varieties. 

 Big Late is a distinct variety, has imperfect bloom. The plants are 

 strong and hardy, and is more upright in growth than any other 

 variety we have grown. Fruit hangs from its strong upright plants 

 like cherries. Berries are round top shaped just like every one was 

 from a mould. Berries are bright shiny, showing a slick varnish 

 gloss. No flavor was ever added to a strawberry more satisfying 

 than in Big Late. In firmness it is all that can be asked for. In 

 production it is great, and if there is a better one I have not seen 

 it. Plant it with FORD first choice, or any good late (per) variety.
