TOWN KING 



(LATE) 



Superior even to 

 the Chesapeake 



This is a worthy brother-aristocrat of the Dorsett, 

 having no faults and often bringing fifty cents to a 

 dollar a crate MORE on the open market than the 

 Chesapeake. It is the most perfect of all late straw- 

 berries. 



For several years, in test plots, it has outyielded 

 two to one the Chesapeake, Gandy, Sample, 

 Lupton, and Wm. Belt in color, shape, size 

 beauty, and firmness. 



Its soft, mild flavor has found general 

 favor wherever it has been marketed. 



Town King needs only average soil to produce 

 healthy growth and a good fruiting bed of plants. 



The Townsend nursery is proud to be the exclusive 

 copyrighters of this berry which gives continued prom- 

 ise of being the most universally planted of all the 

 late-fruiting varieties.

ber- 



At the Pittsvillc, Maryland, auction block the past season, 

 Town King never failed to top the market, often bringing fifty 

 cents to a dollar per crate over the famous Chesapeake, which 

 is at home in that section. 



Lancaster, Pa. 

 I have been growing Town King the past seven years, and 

 consider it the best of the eight varieties grown on our farms. 

 It is attractive in color, large in size, and our customers will 

 pay from five to ten cents more a quart than for other varieties 

 offered on our roadside market.

 and Town King outranked all of them by far. All were planted 

 on the same ground. It sure is an ideal berry. It has the size, 

 color and productiveness, and looks just as fresh on the market, 

 as when first picked from the vines. It brought as high as a 

 dollar per crate more titan Premier, and they were large as 

 hen eggs. You may think I am exaggerating, but I have seen 

 people take a knife and eat them like an apple. I expect to set
