(Imperfect Flowering 



MAYQUEEN was originated in 1924 by 

 E. W. Townsend, Sr., being a scientific 

 cross between Premier and Townsend's 

 Big Late. Was introduced Spring 1928. 

 MAYQUEEN is a late variety that 

 shows the blood of both parents. The 

 foliage resembles Big Late; makes just 

 a good fruiting row of large stalky 

 plants that hold the fruit well off the 

 ground. The fruit is large to extra 

 large, firm, and of the very highest 

 quality. Color a bright rich red all over. 

 A heavy green calix makes it a real 

 show berry. In productiveness it is just 

 all anyone could wish for. And the size 

 is held up well throughout the season, 

 this a most valuable variety to plant 

 KING." And these two will make a pair worthy of a 

 place in any grower's garden. We have only a few 

 thousand MAYQUEEN plants to offer this season. We 

 prefer to sell these in small lots so as to get as good 

 distribution as possible, for it is sure to become a winner 

 wherever a good late variety is wanted that carries both 

 Quality and Quantity.

WASHINGTON 



LATE PERFECT 



While we have the true strain 

 of Washington we cannot 

 recommend it as strongly as 

 some of our competitors. The 

 honey sweet taste was lacking 

 in our Washington berries. It 

 wasonlyfairinflavor,although 

 a very firm berry; and mod- 

 erately productive. To those 

 wishing to test Washington 

 we have a fine lot of strong; 

 healthy; vigorous plants. 



SAMPLE 



LATE IMPERFECT 



Sample is fast giving away 

 to other late varieties; for a 

 long time before the intro- 

 duction of Chesapeake, 

 Townking and other later 

 introductions; it was in great 

 demand. Fruit large, moder- 

 ately firm; bright red color,- 

 and very productive. We still 

 grow the old strain for a 

 few growers who insist on 

 planting it. 



BEAVER 



EXTRA EARLY PERFECT 



A cross of Dr. BurriU and 

 Premier, claimed by some of 

 our customers to be a better 

 berry in every way than the 

 Premier. Fruit medium to 

 large;f.rm;and good quality. 

 Can be left on the vines sev- 

 eral -days and then shipped 

 a long distance. Is grown ex- 

 tensively in the West and 

 Middle Western States. We 

 L cheerfully recommen d Beaver. 



6IBSON 



MIDSEASON PERFECT 

 Gibson was originated near 

 our farms many years ago 

 and named Parsons Beauty. 

 Was largely planted here for 

 canning or cold pack pur- 

 poses. Never recommended 

 as a market variety always 

 being considered too soft to 

 : carry well. Productiveness is 

 I its best point.

Worlds Wonder 



LATE PERFECT 



The greatest thing about 

 World's Wonder is its size. We 

 know of no other berry that will 

 equal it in this respect. It is 

 without a doubt the largest 

 berry grown. We have grown 

 these berries where nine have 

 filled a quart cup. Quality 

 good; moderately firm; and 

 very productive. Suitable 

 for home use or nearby 

 i market where the size counts. 



BRANDYWINb 



LATE PERFECT 



Brandywine is an old time 

 variety that has lost it's pop- 

 ularity in the North, although 

 still heavily planted in Cali- 

 fornia and Florida as the 

 main late berry. Fruit large 

 dark red; and a heavy pro- 

 i ducer of high quality berries; 

 Lit is subject to rust at fruit- 

 ling time.
