AROMA (Per) 



One of the best late standard varieties. The Aroma 

 has been grown in all sections of the country for a good 

 many years. Some of the largest Associations plant 

 only this one variety. 



Aroma is a clean plant, a good strong hardy grower 

 on most soils, fruit is large, firm and of good quality. 

 Until the last few years the large growlers in the East 

 did not plant heavy to it, but every year finds the East- 

 ern Grower planting more heavily of this grand variety. 

 Notwithstanding that we plant a very large acreage to 

 it, we seldom have enough plants to go around. For 

 this reason, we advise those wanting Aroma plants, to 

 place oraer early in season. We have been selecting 

 breeding stock with special pains for several years and 

 believe that we have the most productive strain of 

 Aroma Plants to be found in the country. 



Our customers in the Aroma belt of Kentucky claim 

 our plants will produce at least 2000 quarts per acre 

 more than the native plants. Growers there pay us from 

 $2.00 to $3.00 more per 1000 for our plants every year 

 than they could get home grown plants for, and when, 

 as they state our plants produce 2000 more quarts per 

 acre they are really making lots of money by doing this. 

 It is a known fact to thousands of our customers that 

 our plants cost them really nothing as compared to the 

 ordinary strawberry plants. 



Missionary, Klondyke and Aroma are the three lead- 

 ing Southern varieties, and these varieties need closer 

 selection, and must be produced under a more scientific 

 system than any varieties we know of in order to keep 

 them fully up to their standard. Each one of these va- 

 rieties will run out in a few years if not properly grown 

 until the jield will be less than half of what it should 

 be. Every mother plant set in our fields is carefully 

 selected by an experienced man for its highest breeding 

 qualities. After this they are grown only on new virgin 

 soil with plenty of room to grow to perfection. We have 

 built up a trade on these varieties in the Southern States 

 that is amazing. Once a customer grows our selected 

 stock they never grow anything else, and this trade has 

 all been received through the merits of our plants alone 

 as we have never done any advertising to speak of in 

 the Southern half of the country. We commence ship- 

 ping plants in the South, October 1st and continue until 

 April 15th, usuallv we can ship all winter. 



IF IT'S TOWNSENDS SELECT MISSIONARY, or 

 AROMA, remember they are our Specialty, AND AL- 

 WAYS W'ORTH MORE THAN WE ASK FOR THEM. 



SENATOR DUNLAP (Imp) 



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. 



HAVERLAND (Imp) 



Season early to medium, a very strong grower and 

 an old time favorite for the North. Can always be de- 

 pended upon to produce a good crop when fruited with 

 Dunlap. 



THE COOPER (Per) 



The Cooper is a mid-season variety with us. A mak- 

 er of large stalky plants that make runners moderately. 

 Just about enough plants for a good fruiting row. Fruit 

 is large to extra large, rich bright red, with fine quality. 

 A Cooper plant loaded with ripe fruit is a beautiful 

 sight, the berries while large, are held fairly well off 

 the ground by the heavy fruiting stems. Nearly every 

 berry matures to full size; while we have heard some 

 complaints from this variety as sent out by the Michi- 

 gan growers, we believe that Cooper will be found a 

 paying variety on most soil. We have planted a good 

 acreage to Cooper this year and have grown a good sup- 

 ply of nice strong well rooted plants. We advise our 

 friends to test it out, and believe they will not go wrong 

 if they set a large acreage to this variety. 



CRAWFORD 25 (Imp) 



This variety was introduced by us season 1924. In 

 size and productiveness, it has been all we claimed for 

 it. Surely there is no berry that will surpass it in pro- 

 duction. Season is late to very late, a strong hardy 

 grower. The only fault with the Crawford 25 is its 

 very ordinary quality. If any one wants quantity and 

 not quality, then plant this one. 



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. W^ells 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 Chadbourne, 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 cannot grow as 

 many as we sell at our reasonable price for quality 

 plants, it is useless to say more. 



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 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. 



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 

 everjnvhere to perfection. 



MARSHALL (Per) 



This variety is an old favorite that requires good soil 

 and good attention to do its best, but where this is done 

 a fine berry can be grown and usually the extra atten- 

 tion given is fully compensated for. By some of our 

 customers statements, one would think Marshall was 

 the only real strawberry. But it is just like this: they 

 love the variety, they know what it will do when given 

 the proper attention, and they never fail to get results. 

 Most popular in the North Atlantic and New England 

 States. Can supply only in small quantities.
