Blakemore is unquestionably one of the 
best commercial varieties introduced by 
the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture for many 
years because it is ideal for shipping long 
distances. Where time is pressing, and 
help limited, it will keep on the vines 2 
or 3 days longer than most of the older 
varieties, and can be picked in perfect 
condition. 
With its high jelly-like content, pleasing flavor and acidity, it 
is most desirable for preserving and table use. 
The fruit ripens very early, bears large crops and maintains its 
size when the plants have been kept well thinned. 
Note, the Western and Southwestern States. Where the Aroma is 
planted extensively, the Blakemore is an ideal companion variety for 
earlier fruiting and will in many ways equal the Aroma and provide an 
earlier market for the growers in those sections.

The Best of 
the Southern 
Varieties 
Among the many recent introductions of the U. S. Dept, of Agricul¬ 
ture, the Bellmar ranks high because of its handsome appearance and 
heavy crop-producing possibilities in southern territory. As an early berry 
it is recommended as a commercially profitable item to be planted in all 
states to which the Premier is adapted.

Gentlemen : 
Received shipment 
of 60,000 Blakemore, 
and have them all set 
out—growing fine. 
We find your strain 
of Blakemore free 
from disease and pro¬ 
duces an exceptional 
fine crop of uniform 
berries. 
Toivnsend’s strain 
in our experience has 
proven far superior to 
the average Blakemore 
plants offered.

Gentlemen: 
I have fruited the 
Bellmar this past seas¬ 
on and find this varie¬ 
ty to be well suited 
for this section of the 
country. 
The fruit shows ex¬ 
tra fine texture, ships 
well and averages ap¬ 
proximately 6,000 
quarts to the acre. 
It should be classed 
as an early superior 
Aroma with a much 
heavier yield. I like 
it.

Dear Sirs : 
One of the largest 
strawberry growers of 
this section has recom¬ 
mended your strain of 
Blakemore plants to 
me, as he has grozvn 
them for the past two 
years with unusually 
heavy yield. 
I would like to have 
a quotation immedi¬ 
ately on one hundred 
thousand of the Town¬ 
sends strain of Blake¬ 
more. 
Please advise if you 
can ship at once.

Townsend's Select 
MISSIONARY 
BLAKEMORE 
The Ideal 
Commercial 
The fact that, during the past 
22 years, the Townsend nurseries 
have shipped over 100,000,000 Missionary plants into the State 
of Florida alone is proof in itself that, for a main southern crop 
the Missionary is unexcelled. Because of our method of "up- 
breeding" (continually improving on this old variety), the Town¬ 
send standard for this variety has been continually raised so that 
today southern planters acknowledge that our strain is the most 
productive and the surest to produce consistently large profits of 
any Missionary plants sold. They do not gamble, but stick to us 
and are well repaid for their confidence in our product.
