TOWNSEND 
BLA(KBERRy PLANT/ 
from Tioot cuttings 
The High Standard that we have 
set for the strawberry world to fob 
loiv is duplicated in the Blackberry 
plants we grow for our trade. 
Because we know that plants developed from root cuttings 
are far superior to "Tip" or "Sucker" plants, ALL of our 
plants are grown from root cuttings. They produce fine, 
strong, healthy canes and fruit that is far superior. 
Whether you buy from us or not, DEMAND PLANTS PROP¬ 
AGATED FROM ROOT CUTTINGS. Ours always produce highly 
satisfactory results for our customers. You will be delighted 
with them. 
ALFRED. Recent introduction; midseason fruiting, extremely 
large black berries, practically free from seeds and coreless; 
very sweet and juicy. 
SNYDER. One of the old favorites that is popular on account 
of its high quality and early ripening. 
EARLY HARVEST. Earliest to ripen and most productive of the 
early varieties, and demands the top .of the market. We 
offer only selected strain of this variety. 
ELDORADO. Most valuable variety for market or home use. 
Rich flavor with but little core. Finest quality of the Black¬ 
berry family. 
BEST OF ALL. (Known as Russell B. B. in N. J.) A new Black¬ 
berry that has been grown in the sandy soil section of New 
Jersey and as stated by the N. J. Agricultural Station, is 
very resistant to Orange Rust; outyielding all other Black¬ 
berries that have been tried there. It will pay the Black¬ 
berry grower to order some of these plants, in which our 
stock is being supplied you direct from original stock 
furnished by the originator. 
CURRANTS 
Prices: 25c each; 6 to 10, 20c each; 50 to 100, 15c each. 
Hardy, requiring little cultivation, even withstanding con¬ 
siderable neglect, the Currant has large marketing possibili¬ 
ties, as it is almost indispensable for table use, being used 
universally in making perhaps the finest of all jellies and in 
a great demand by the housewife in many other ways. The 
home garden, everywhere, is incomplete without this luscious 
fruit. 
Culture: Set the plants four feet apart in rich ground. 
Cultivate well and mulch heavily. Prune out old wood so that 
each remaining shoot will have plenty of room. Dust with 
Hellebore to eliminate the currant worm. 
CHERRY. Large berries on short clusters; a robust, fruitful 
variety. The vigorous, stocky bushes produce large quanti¬ 
ties of bright red fruit with thin skins and remarkably fine 
flavor. 
LONDON MARKET. Large, red, fine. Very productive and of 
extra high quality. Rich, mild, sub-acid. 
WILDER. Bunch and berries very large, bright, attractive red 
color, even when dead ripe. Flavor not too acid and fruit 
continues on bush for quite a period. 
PERFECTION. Beautiful, bright red, holding its large size to 
end of bunch. Easy to pick—a superior bearer—less acid 
and of better quality than any other large currant. 
WHITE GRAPE. Very large, yellowish white. Mild acid flavor. 
Extremely valuable for table use. 
GOOSEBERRIES 
Prices: 25c each; 6 to 10, 20c each; 50 to 100, 15c each. 
This fruit continues to retain its popularity throughout the 
years and is well worthy of every home garden as well as a 
good item for the commercial grower to include, in some 
quantity, in his list of small fruits. 
Culture:—The Gooseberry requires a deep soil, well ma¬ 
nured, which, if dry, should be mulched thoroughly to retain 
the moisture. Careful trimming and pruning is necessary to 
produce a maximum yield of fruit. Set plants 3 to 4 feet 
apart. To prevent mildew, spray bushes as soon as leaves 
appear and several times during the summer with Potassium 
Sulphide—one ounce to four gallons of water. 
DOWNING. Large, handsome, pale green; of splendid quality 
for both cooking and table use. The plant is strong and 
usually free from mildew. 
RED JACKET. This is the most free from mildew of all the 
leading varieties. The fruit is large, smooth, pale red in 
color, fine flavored, and is produced in great abundance. 
The New 
Everbearing 
ROBINSON Blackberry 
This new Everbearing Blackberry has proven to be a 
profitable fall cropping variety as well as producing a 
fine crop of extra large solid berries along with the other 
well known blackberry varieties that produce their crop 
only in the early summer months. This variety has been 
tested in several states and is not in the experimental 
stage, having passed the test of a profitable variety for 
the market gardener fruit grower as well as home gar¬ 
deners. It takes no more attention for them than the 
ordinary Blackberry, and is sure to be of great benefit 
throughout the coming years to the fruit grower who is 
catering to the roadside markets.
