The Ldut Fruiting 

 Strawberry tfsiewn/ 



XTRALATE has been developed by 

 Townsends especially to meet the 

 great demand for a strawberry that would 

 fruit after other varieties were through. The record compiled 

 by Xtralate bears evidence to whether we have been success- 

 ful in our development. For not only is this variety the 

 latest standard variety existent, but it has proved itself one 

 of the latest and heaviest fruiting varieties on the market. 

 Seven years testing on our trial grounds bear this out. 

 Reduced prices on Xtralate now bring it within the reach 

 of everyone — and we strongly urge you to try it. Order a 

 supply on our money-back guarantee (your money will be 

 refunded if you are not entirely satisfied with the results). 

 We are in a position to make this guarantee only because 

 we know that whatever claims we make for Xtralate will be 

 substantiated by its performance. Thousands of satisfied 

 growers have thrilled at the sight of this plant laden with 

 choice fruit at harvest time — why not you? As Xtralate is 

 an imperfect flowering variety, we recommend setting every 

 two rows alternately through the planting with Catskill — 

 Townking or Chesapeake for pollinizing.

N THE early days of Gandy. just after it 

 was originated in New Jersey several years 

 ago, its production was not quite as good 

 as had been expected. However, we soon remedied this 

 situation by Townsend selection of our heaviest produc- 

 ing plants and using them for propagating stock. As 

 a result, the productive capacity was more than doubled 

 within a very short time. The news of our sensational 

 success spread like wildfire and today our extensive 

 planting of Gandy is one of the largest in the United 

 States. The fruit has always been of good qua:, 

 now is really excellent. The quality, si/e and shipping 

 qualities have always met with instantaneous success 

 wherever Gandy as been introduced. Berries are Of 

 wonderful quality, large to extra-large in size: bright 

 red with dark double green caps. Ripening usual. 

 place about two weeks after Premier and Dorsett.
