LUCKY STRIKE Everbearing Strawberries 



Lucky Strike — Is the Aristocrat of all 

 the everbearing strawberries. It is 

 not the only good one, not the only 

 money maker, and not the only one to 

 be grown; but it is absolutely the 

 Aristocrat of them all. Anyone look- 

 ing for the best berry ever tasted by 

 the tongue, should not overlook the 

 Lucky Strike Everbearer. It is a fair- 

 ly hard plant grower, seems to do well 

 on all soils, and in all climates, as we 

 have received reports from nearly all 

 states and everyone speaks of it in the 

 highest praise. 



No one can correctly describe Lucky 

 Strike, it must be seen and tasted to 

 appreciate all its good qualities. We 

 are very sorry that we again have 

 only a very small stock of plants and 

 must price them high; but we assure 

 you they are worth the price. Get half 

 a dozen, the price will be $5.00 and try 

 to grow every plant you can from the 

 half dozen plants, reset as soon as you 

 have any new rooted plants, and in a 

 few years you can have a large gar- 

 den all to Lucky Strike. Nothing will 

 please you more or prove more Profit- 

 able. Not over 100 plants sold any cus- 

 tomer. The Genuine Lucky Strike can 

 be had only from us. Take no chances 

 as there has been fraudulent dealers 

 selling so called Lucky Strike plants 

 for years. We bought from several who were offering them only to 

 find in every case some poor worthless variety, not worthy of a 

 name. We even sold one Nurseryman a small lot of plants, and 

 give him an order in a few years for all the plants he had to offer 

 of this variety. We failed to get a single Lucky Strike plant from 

 him, notwithstanding, we paid 50c each for them back, as we 

 thought we were getting what we sold. Take no chances with such 

 Dealers. 



We absolutely guarantee our Lucky Strike plants to be the orig- 

 inal as sent out by us several years ago; and Originated and Intro- 

 duced by the Townsend Nursery. Place order early, for when our 

 small stock is sold we will have to return your money. 



Lucky Strike is as easy to grow as common varieties. Pinch 

 off blossoms until July 1st, and then let them fruit. Their habit 

 is to begin fruiting early in the summer and continue until hard 

 freezing sets in. Not a few berries, but the berries lay in piles 

 around the plants, both on the mother plant and the new runner 

 plants as soon as they are rooted. Fruit large to extra large, firm 

 and sweet. In fact the best flavored berry ver grown except none. 

 This is what every one says that has tasted them. Firm enough to 

 ship by express to distant market in good order. 



THE LUCKY STRIKE 

 The Aristocrat of all the Everbear- 

 ing Strawberries.
