MISSIONARY 
Townsend's Select Strain Stock 
Are New Ground Grown—Double Inspected 
Townsend’s Missionary is unquestionably 
the leading Southern Variety especially in 
the State of Florida. As introducers of this 
famous variety we have always taken pride 
in its achievements in the south. While 
it is a known fact that varieties (no mat- 
ter how good they are when introduced) 
can run down in yields and vitality over a 
period of years. Through our methods of 
plant selection and breeding for Heavier 
Yields, we have succeeded in growing even 
a better strain of High Yielding Missionary 
than originally introduced in 1906. Growers 
in the past have been buying on price. How- 
ever they have come to realize that this is 
not always the best investment, and in all 
Southern States you will now find growers 
sticking to the Missionary Strain as grown 
by Townsends’.

9 STRAWBERRY VARIETIES 
All Leaders In Certain Sections 
c) isbag ie we may furnish the berry growers of the coun- 
try the most selective list of varieties to be found 
any where, the following varieties are offered to com- 
plete our long list. They are well known to the growers 
in certain sections of the country, producing heavy 
yields of fine quality fruit. Most of them are considered 
to be the leading varieties in their respective section. 
BELLMAR (Early). Bellmar is recommended for the Southern 
States, including Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. It ranks 
high as an early berry because of its bright, rich red appearance 
and heavy crops produced, even in dry regions. 
CULVER (Medium). This grand variety hails from the N. Y. 
State Agricultural Experiment Station. The plant itself is a 
vigorous and healthy grower. Berries are large and very attrac- 
tive, having a varnished gloss, and dark red, fairly firm and a 
very good variety for preserving. Fruiting season can_be classed 
as a long midseason variety, fairly heavy producer. Every com- 
mercial grower expressly, should try a few plants of this variety 
along with his favorite. 
JUPITER (Patented) (Medium Early). This variety is being 
grown extensively throughout the leading strawberry sections 
and is found to give better results in such berry growing states 
as Nebraska, Iowa, and other north-western states. COLOR: 
Glistening red with excellent shipping qualities. It is one of the 
largest midseason varieties on the market. The berry that the 
fancy trade would take at a good price. We would advise giving 
JUPITER a fair trial in your planting. 
KLONDYEE (Early). This is an old variety being grown quite 
extensively now in North Carolina, South Carolina, Southern 
Illinois, Tennessee, and Alabama. The berries are very bright, 
round, firm, and an excellent shipper. TOWNSEND’S strain of 
KLONDYKE is being used by the largest associations in the 
SOUTH. 
POPULAR LATE VARIETIES 
LUPTON. A favorite late variety for New Jersey and Penna. 
Berries are large, attractive in appearance and an excellent 
shipper. It is not as good a plant maker or producer as Town 
King; not as heavy producer as Chesapeake. If you have a trade 
that wants berries with a fancy appearance, Lupton will serve 
you well, although the eating quality is not as good as some 
of the other late varieties. 
WM. BELT. Townsend’s Select Strain Wm. Belt is grown 
throughout the States of New York and Pennsylvania. Fine qual- 
ity berries, size medium to large. Advise planting on well-drained 
land as it may rust in low type soils. Used almost exclusively 
by market gardeners for near-by markets. 
WORLD’S-WONDER 
@ The largest berry grown—fruiting season late 
The greatest asset to World’s Wonder is its size. We know of no 
other berry that will equal it in this respect. We have picked 
these berries out of our test plots, when nine berries filled a 
quart. Quality good, moderate firm and fairly productive, suitable 
for home use and nearby market. Our supply of this grand variety 
is limited, so if you are in need of a fancy, large berry, order early. 
At the New Jersey’s State trial grounds, 
Pathfinder was selected as the outstanding 
variety. It is an enormous producer of large 
berries and of fine texture with a good shape. 
Makes vigorous plant growth and a good 
fruiting bed. Fruit is uniform in shape, time 
of ripening about same season as Dorsett and 
Fairfax. Townsends’ Strain of Pathfinder has 
been propagated from the original strain, 
direct from New Jersey. We recommend that 
you give it a trial this year, we will reserve 
plants when your order is received and ship 
at proper planting time.
