Special Bargains in left over strawberry plants 



'^N filling the thousands of orders in the rush season it is impossible to dig the exact 

 J amount of plants every day to fill our orders. 



For this reason we have left over after the days pack several thousand good plants, 

 that we had much rather make a low price on and clean up every day than to carry them 

 over. 



Other times in bringing in the plants from the fields the tag is lost off the basket bearing 

 the name of the variety. 



In selling these plants we do not guarantee labeled plants or any particular variety. 

 While most of them will be labeled and true to name. 



We do guarantee that they will be good fresh dug plants, and we will try our best to pick 

 varieties when possible to suit your climate. 



When ordering this stock just mention Surplus plants. 



PRICES 



500 surplus plants $2.00 



1000 surplus plants 3.00

Mrs. Johns of Penn. writes that from the jooo surplus plants purchased from us in 1925, she picked over 

 jooo quarts of the finest berries and realized 2jC. per quart; that she was well pleased with her bargain plants. 



Mr. Sampson of Conn, writes that when I sent you $3.50 for 1000 surplus plants I did not expect to get 

 such a bargain. I never saw finer plants than you sent me, and most of them are labeled and I know what 

 they are. I truly am well pleased and feel like I ought to send you $3.50 more for giving me such a square deal. 



Parsons Beauty (per) Same as Gibson. 



Paul Jones (imp). This is one of the most 

 productive varieties, fruit medium in size and 

 quality ordinary. But where a berry is wanted 

 that will turn out the quarts it is hard to pass, 

 grows well on most any soil, and a favorite in 

 some localities in the Eastern 

 States. Should be fruited with 

 Big Joe, Cooper, Aroma or 

 some such variety. 



Sample (per) Sampleisfastdis- 

 appearing as a favorite;in some 

 sections it is still planted and 

 produces a good crop of 

 ordinary quality. But there 

 are certainly many others that 

 are much better in every way. 

 We still grow it, for some 

 customers demand it. 



Late to Very Late 



Varieties 



CHESAPEAKE (per) 



One of the leading late varie- 

 ties for home use or market, 

 fruit large to very large and of 

 excellent quality. Very pro- 

 ductive when planted on good 

 strong land. Makes just 

 about enough plants for a 

 good fruiting row. It takes mil- 



E. W. T., Jr. and His 

 Strawberry Garden 



lions of these plants every year to supply our trade. 

 Never plant Chesapeake on high, sandy soil. 



CRAWFORD 25 (per) If you are looking 

 for quality fruit pass this by. But if you want 

 quantity and large size and not particular as to 

 quality then you can hardly beat Crawford 25. 



FORD (per) The Ford is a 

 Townsend Production and one 

 that we are proud of. Ford 

 has more than made good 

 every claim we have made for 

 it and is making big money 

 for growers in every section of 

 the country. A strong, hardy 

 plant grower on all soils. 

 Fruit large, firm and good 

 quality. And ranks with the 

 very best in production. 



Gold Mine (per) We have 

 been asked for this variety so 

 many times that we have put 

 it in stock. It greatly re- 

 sembles the Gandy in plant 

 growth and in fruit. Some of 

 our customers claim it is more 

 productive than Gandy and 

 grows better on lighter soil. 



GANDY (per) A very late 

 berry of excellent quality. 

 Does best on low marshy or 

 swampy land. (Never plant 

 on high, sandy soil.)
