TOWN KING 



THE NEW 

 LATE BERRY 



TOWN KING 'Late) Stands at the top of the list as the 

 most perfect late strawberry. A strong healthy g] 

 producing a good fruiting bed of plants on average high 

 soil. In production it ranks with the 

 eties. In color, shape, size, beauty, and firr. 

 simply in a class by itself, has a soft, mild flavor 

 truthfully described by one of our large customers, as the 

 "New Big Late Berry Without A Fault." 



TOWNKING was originated by the late T. A. Washburn, 

 of Allen. Md. Was a chance seedling found growing on a 

 ditch bank in the middle of a meadow, that had never 

 v been cultivated. From this small be- 



ginning only a few years ago, and 

 without any extensive advertising. 

 Townking has in this short tin. 

 come one of the best known late 

 strawberries in America. Has 

 planted from Coast to Coast, and has 

 won thousands of friends on its 

 good behavior. Our advice — plant 

 Townking and plant it heavy for your 

 late berry. E. W. Townsend & Sons 

 are sole distributors of Townking 

 plants. Note — Agreement at bol

I have been growing strawberry plants for 20 

 years, and, Mr. Townsend. the Chesapeake that you 

 sent me last year grew fine and made a nice thick 

 bed. They beat any Chesapeake plants I ever bought 

 from any other Nursery. S. J. FOREMAN.
