j% MOST PERFECT j^ STRAWBERRY! 



Comparing Townking 

 WITH OTHER LATE VARIETIES 



Annual Strawberry Repcwt from Allegheny 

 County Agriculture Extension 

 Association of Pennsylvania 

 The Lupton and Townking are similar in 

 mo-t respects and each produce enor- 

 mously large berries. Lupton is a poor 

 plant maker which probably accounts for 

 its standing. Townking surpassed Big Joe, 

 Chesapeake, and Lupton in yield. Becom- 

 mend Townkii.g f r exceptionally large, 

 late berries. 



GETS PREMIUM PRICES FOR 

 TOWNKING 



Adams Co., Penna. 

 I have grrown practically all the late 

 varieties of strawberries and consider 

 TownkinfT far ahead of anything I ever 

 grew. The fruit is attractive and my 

 customers do not mind paying me a 

 premium price for the berries, which 

 always look attractive on the stand.

6400 QUARTS FROM 6000 PLANTS 



Jefferson Co., Ohio 

 The 6000 To«-nking plants fruited this 

 year, and I don't believe there is a 

 berry on the market to equal it. Picked 

 over sixty-four hundred quarts from these 

 plants. No trouble to get pickers to pick 

 Townking. Quality good, and carries to 

 market in first class shape. 



THOMAS HUNTER

 berry! A strong, healthy grower, it produces a fine fruit- 

 ing bed on a wide variety of soils and climatic conditions. Regardless 

 of what section of the country you may live in. you know that a 

 good, late fruiting berry is a profitable variety. Realizing this fact, 

 we say with full knowledge of the importance of this claim, that 

 Townking is the most profitable late variety on the market today! 

 Premium prices are always paid for Townking. for its color, shape, 

 size and appearance are all outstanding and attractive. From the 

 Atlantic to the Pacific; and from Maine to Florida and Texas. To^^ti-
