BIG 

 JOE 



Medium Late Varieties 



A l?Q]^ A — One of the very best medium 



late standard varieties for nearly 



all sections. Many of the large growers and 

 Associations plant Aroma only. Aroma is a 

 clean hardy growing plant. Does well on most 

 soils. Fruit large deep red with excellent qual- 

 ity either for home iise or market. We are al- 

 ways headquarters for best grade of Aroma 

 plants. Townsend's strain of Aroma has pro- 

 duced over 10.000 quarts per acre where the 

 average yield in same locality was less than 

 3500 quarts. 



OibsOn — ^ valuable berry in some locali- 



ties, but not a universal variety. 



In most sections it produces a big crop of in- 

 ferior fruit. Too soft for long-distance ship- 

 ment. Its big yields is about all that can be 

 tnathfully said of Gibson. Gibson was origin- 

 ated in "Wicomico County, Md., under the name 

 of Parson's Beauty. It is also known as 

 Pocomoke. 



I^arshall — Marshall is medium season ; it 



does well when soil and condi- 

 tions are right. Fruit large, firm and good qual- 

 ity. Not very productive. 



^{q Ohmer — ^ ^^^^ valuable variety for 



home use or market. Fruit 



large, firm and sweet. Not very productive. 



PARSON'S BEAUTY— See description of Gibson. 



as the name im= 

 plies, is a berry 

 of extra large 

 size. Color very 

 bright with an 

 attractive green 

 cap. The texture 

 is one of the best, 

 giving excellent 

 shipping results. 

 For the home or 

 commercial pur- 

 poses BIG JOE 

 will be found giving satisfac- 

 tion ; for over 20 years BIG 

 JOE has been the leading med- 

 ium late strawberry in the east- 

 ern half of the country, and has 

 produced record-breaking crops 

 wherever grown. In size and 

 productiveness BIG JOE is sec- 

 ond 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 mel- 

 low springy soil. 



p^„1 Jojigc — Paul Jones is one of the 



Z most productive varieties 



grown. Fruit medium in size and very firm. 

 Quality ordinary for table use. But where a 

 berry is wanted that will grow anywhere and 

 turn out the quarts, Paul Jones is a good one 

 to tie to. Color is a bright rich red ; berries 

 slightly pointed, and run uniform in size, hold- 

 ing up well throughout the season. Should be 

 fruited with Big Joe, Ford or some good perfect 

 flowering of same season. 



C^~|Qlg — Sample has been on the list a 

 t"^ good long time and still in demand. 



Fruit medium to large, bright red, ordinary 

 quality ; fairly productive. Should be fruited 

 with Big Joe, Ford or Lupton, equal rows to do 

 its best. 



r^rklrl l^in*» — Gold Mine is a medium late 

 VJi/iu jTiiiic variety, with excellent qual- 

 ity ; very firm and sweet fruit, large to very 

 large, moderately productive. A strong plant 

 maker on most soils and worthy of a trial where 

 a good medium late berry is wanted. 



MR. H. L. WARNER, Camden, N. Y., writes: I am 



sending you another order for more Townsend's Premier 

 plants. I could take my own plants as I have plenty of 

 them, but cannot afford to do it. I am getting well over 

 10,000 quarts per acre from plants and cannot afford to dig 

 mine when I can buy Townsend's plants. No other plants 

 around here produce like yours. The other fellows just can't 

 understand why I can beat them so much. I tell them it 

 is Townsend's plants and know how to back them up. 



MRS. W. E. OYLER, Harrison, Ohio, writes: Wlienever 

 I want strawberry plants I always place my order with 

 Townsend. and when I hear others talking of setting I 

 advise them to send to you. I grow only for family use, 

 but I want the best, and I know that I am sure of getting 

 it when you fill my order,
