“TOWNKING” is the most perfect late 
variety of strawberries ever introduced. 
For the past five years we have been mak- 
ing “TOWNKING” Our Big Special as a 
late variety. We have sent it into every 
nook and corner of the United States, and 
it has never failed to please as a market 
variety, outselling the famous Chesapeake 
ithe past two seasons two to one. “TOWN- 
KING” is simply in a class by itself as a 
late berry. It is of the Lupton type, but 
producing plants stronger; more vigorous 
grower, and at least 259% more productive, 
and many of our customers claim that it 
produces more than twice as much as that 
grand old variety. 
The past season we had booked orders for 
more than half the “TOWNKING” plants 
we had before our Catalogues were mailed. 
Every year for the past three years we 
have had to return thousands of dollars sent 
us for “TOWNKING” plants. $10.00 per 
1000 is the lowest price we have ever sold 
“TOWNKING” plants, and our customers 
are now writing us daily before we go to 
press with our Catalogue, asking if we can 
furnish them their wants in “TOWNKING” 
at the same price. 
We are happly to inform them that the 
price this season will be only $7.00 per 1000, 
and that we can take care of every order 
sent to us. We planted fifty acres to this 
variety, and have never seen a better crop 
of plants grown than we have at this time. 
We estimate our crop of “TOWNKING” 
plants alone at ten millions, and our price 
this season puts them within the reach of 
all growers. 
As to description we prefer to let some 
of our good customers describe it. 
Here is what one of our N. ¥. customers 
says of it: ‘“TOWNKING” stands in a class 
by itself. It is the most perfect strawberry 
I have ever seen. In size, color, shape, and 
carrying quality, as well as ability to pro- 
duce, it is perfect, as well as the most beau- 
tiful strawberry I have ever seen. I have 
never failed to produce a big paying crop from 
Townking plants. In plant growth it is the most 
beautiful of all varieties. I have grown it on all 
kinds of soil without rust even in the wettest seasons. 
Fruit stems extra large, holding the loads of fruit 
well off the ground. Has plenty good strong foliage 
to shade the loads of fruit. The flavor of Townking 
is a soft rich mild aromatic sweet flavor, just suit- 
ing the taste of the average strawberry lover.” 
Mr. Day of Lakeville, Conn., writes: Townking 
by far surpasses any other variety and suits his 
trade best.” 
Another N. Y. grower writes: He has discarded 
all other varieties, now growing only Townking. 
Another N. Y¥. grower writes: I have at last 
found my ideal strawberry. I have been growing 
Chesapeake for years. It is almost perfect, but 
Townking leads Chesapeake. 
Townking produces 5000 quarts from 5000 plants 
for a Pennsylvania grower. Berries the largest and 
finest he has ever grown.

TOWNKING 
The New Late 
Berry—The Money-Makers 
At the Alleghaney County (Pa.) Agricultural Ex- 
tension Association test plot Townking surpassed 
Chesapeake, Lupton, Big Joe, in yield, and produced 
the largest and finest colored berries. Plant Town- 
king for exceptionally large berries is their advice 
in summing up the Demonstration report. 
James Duncan of Delaware stated that from one 
acre Townking in 1930 he sold over 6500 quarts of 
berries, netting him a little more than $1000—more 
than twice as much as received from same amount 
of land in Lupton. Berries sold for dollar to dollar 
and half a crate more than any others. 
Martin Hall of Virginia stated Townking surpassed 
all other varieties tested by him, with “Mayqueen” 
second, and that the buyers went wild over his loads 
of berries when he took them into the loading sta- 
tion. Mr. Hall grows Townking in large quantities. 
We could quote hundreds of similar testimonials. 
Our advice: Plant Townking, and plant it heavy 
for your late berry.
