Among the ever-increasing number of strawberry varieties, certain 
of fhe older ones continue to merit a high place in the strawberry 
world, because their qualities have withstood the test of time and 
because they continue to be good producers in the territories where 
Ihey are now used as a commercial and home-garden berry. The fol¬ 
lowing list is meritorious and worthy of vour closest study. 
Success is grown extensively in New Jersey. Marshall has long been 
a leader in the North. Dr. Burril! is still planted extensively through¬ 
out the middle west. Other varieties listed are all highly productive. 
DR. BURRILL. Closely resembles the Senator Dunlap variety. Plant 
growth is very strong; making plenty of fruiting beds on light 
sandy soils where other varieties will not grow. The fruit is of a 
dark color; highly flavored, with plenty of juice. That makes them 
a good canning or table berry. We do recommend it for long dis¬ 
tance shipping berry. 
CAMPBELLS. Extra early. Extra productive, of extra fine quality 
berries, that everage 
medium in size. Color 
a rich dark red, very 
firm, dessert quality, 
very good when fully 
ripe, as it has a rich 
spicy flavor. Has been on 
the market a long time, 
and still popular where 
an extra early market 
berry is wanted. 
FRUITLAND. Extra early. 
Strong, hardy grower, 
fruit large to extra large, 
resembling Big Joe, ex¬ 
ceedingly productive of 
bright red, firm, good 
quality berries. Fruitland 
is a general favorite with 
growers here on the Pen¬ 
insula, and has given 
best satisfaction where- 
ever sent. 
V 
Red 
Gold. 
COOPER. Medium early. A fairly good grower, seems 
to have its greatest popularity in the Michigan sec¬ 
tion. Fruit large, irregular in shape, moderately 
firm, very productive. Lots better varieties. 
KLONDYKE. Early. A strong hardy grower, especially 
adapted for the southern states. Fruit medium in 
size, moderately productive of round, firm, good 
quality berries. Not recommended for the North. 
RED HEART. Medium early variety, has been found 
uniformly productive in the western states. It has 
also been recommended for trial by the Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture in the northern states from 
New England to Maryland, and Wisconsin to Mis¬ 
souri. Flesh is bright rich red, agreeable acid flavor, 
and ranks high in dessert quality, also makes a 
very vigorous plant growth. Its canning qualities 
are of the highest type. 
SOUTHLAND. Extra early. The Southland is named 
for its apparent adaptability to the southern states, 
especially as a local market berry. Under favorable 
growing conditions ct Willard, North Carolina, it has 
produced the fewest cull berries of any sort yet test¬ 
ed there. The berries are large, bright red, with a 
glossy surface. Flavor sweet, and are of the very 
highest dessert quality. The berries, while firm, are 
not so firm as the Blakemore or Bellmar. 
SUCCESS. Extra early. A good strong grower of good 
quality for home use. Medium to large in size, very 
productive, a general favorite. Grown extensively 
in New Jersey market gardens. 
for WESTERN and 
MID-WESTERN 
States 
Because of their peculiar adapability to the growing and ship¬ 
ping conditions of the western and mid-western states, we highly 
recommend the Beaver, Red Gold and Senator Dunlap (or Dr. 
Burrill) as worthy of the consideration of 1935 buyers of 
Townsend strawberry plants. The descriptions below will assist 
you materially in making your selection. 
Beaver 
An offspring of the Dr. Burrill and the Premier. Customer re¬ 
ports indicate that the Beaver is, in many ways, superior to 
the Premier. The fruit is medium large, of fine quality and of 
extra firm texture, making it an ideal variety for long dis¬ 
tance shipping. The fruit retains its firmness on the vines 
after ripening so that it may be left there several days before 
picking, if necessary. 
Red Gold 
An extra large variety, introduced and highly recommended 
by the Gardner Nursery Co., of Iowa. An early variety, it is 
fairly productive and of fine quality. If you have not already 
tried this variety out in your territory, it will pay you to do so. 
Senator DunSap 
Fruit good size, beautiful bright red, glossy and firm. Splendid 
keeper and shipper, of excellent quality. Truly the "Poor 
Man's Berry", as it will grow without fertilizer on any soil.
