F-BLOODS.- 



The Townsend selective and restrictive method of 

 improving strawberry qualities has scored another signal 

 success in producing "Blue-Blood" strains of the Aroma 

 and Gandy varieties which offer the grower quality and 

 productiveness far in advance of any others to be pur- 

 chased in the United States.

Aroma. 



The dollar you invest in ^^ 

 Townsend Aromas and Gandys 

 will work harder and produce 

 greater dividends than any 

 other investment you may make 

 in extra-late varieties. 



AROMA 



Large associations in 

 the western and south- 

 western states have dis- 

 covered by test that the 

 Townsend strain of the 

 Aroma strawberry is far 

 superior in quality and 

 production to locally de- 

 veloped strains. As a re- 

 sult they have been pur- 

 chasing our plants in ever- 

 increasing quantities for the 

 past 20 years. 



Appearance. Large — a brilliant sparkling red. 

 Productiveness. A yield of 10,000 quarts per acre is common when Town- 

 send's Selected Strain Aroma plants are used. 



Commercial Possibilities. Excellent for 

 shipping because of firmness of fruit. 

 Fine results are obtained with Aroma in 

 Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, South 

 Carolina, Indiana, Illinois, eastern Kan- 

 sas and Arkansas. 







GANDY a very late variety 



By selective methods, we have built up the original old strain 

 Gandy-Prize until it is today twice as productive as when it was 

 introduced years ago. We have tested out a good many extra 

 late varieties, but have failed to find any later than the Gandy; 

 and none with the quality that this extra late variety has. We 

 have discarded such varieties as Orem, Mascot, New 

 York, and several others as we consider the Gandy the 

 cream of them all. It is now the King of extra late va- 

 rieties, excellent for home use and a sure dividend-pro- 

 ducer for the market gardener. Whenever we find a bet- 

 ter late berry we will be found listing it, but until we do 

 we shall list only Gandy. 



Culture — A rich black loam is the ideal spot for Gandy 

 although it will give excellent results on any type of 

 springy soil.
