2U MOST PERFECT £& STRAWBERRY! 



Comparing Townking 

 WITH OTHER LATE VARIETIES 



COMPARING TOWNKING 

 WITH LUPTON 

 Annual Strawberry Report from Allegheny 

 County Agriculture Extension 

 Association of Pennsylvania 

 The Lupton and Townking are similar in 

 most 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. Recom- 

 mend Townking for exceptionally large, 

 late berries. 



TOWNKING LARGEST BERRIES 



York Co., Pa. 

 I am growing six varieties straw- 

 berries. I shall try Town King again next 

 year — they were the largest berries of any 

 variety I have ever planted . . . most 

 attractive and very showy. People in this 

 vicinity said they had never seen such 

 fine large strawberries.
