/LATEST FRUITING OF ALL 



The results of eight years of testing on our trial 

 grounds, and the impressing record compiled by 

 Xtralate over this period of time, bears evidence 

 as to the successful development of this particu- 

 lar variety. Especially developed by Townsend 

 to meet the great demand for a truly later than 

 late berry, Xtralate not only fruits later than any 

 known existing strawberry, but has proven itself 

 to be one of the heaviest yielding and hardiest 

 varieties on the market. For added profits, we 

 strongly urge the planting of this variety. 

 Thousands of planters have been amazed at the 

 sight of this plant laden with fruit when all 

 other varieties are through — why not you.

Many of the larger growers in New York State 

 refer to this new variety as a real dandy. Al- 

 though still in its infancy, Sparkle shows 

 plenty of promise, and for growers in New 

 York, the New England states and north- 

 ern Pennsylvania, we do not hesitate in 

 recommending this new berry. Try a >^^ „ 

 thousand or so of these plants this Spring. "^ 

 We are sure that you will be more than 

 satisfied. 



Sparkle's rich, red, and really attractive 

 berries have great market potentialities, 

 however, unlike the New Temple, Sparkle 

 tends to darken somewhat when left on the 

 vines until fully ripe. Because of this fact, 

 many growers favor the Temple, since 

 Temple holds its color. We offer Sparkle as 

 a new variety, however we do not recommend 

 the planting of this variety in any great num- 

 bers until it has been more thoroughly tested 

 Sparkle ripens about mid-season.
