TOWNSEND'S STRAIN OF GANDY 
FAR AHEAD OF OLD STRAIN 
IN YIELDS AND QUALITY 
N THE early days of Gandy, just after it was origin- 
§ ated in New Jersey several years ago, its production 
was not quite as good as has been expected. How- 
ever, we soon remedied this situation by Townsend selec- 
tion of our heaviest producing plants and using them 
for propagating stock. As a result, the productive ca- 
pacity was more than doubled within a very short time. 
The news of cur 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 quality and now is really excellent. The quality, 
size and shipping qualities have always met with in- 
stantaneous success wherever Gandy has been introduced. 
Berries are of wonderful quality, large to extra-large 
in size; bright red with dark double green caps. Ripen- 
ing usually takes place about two weeks after Premier 
and Dorsett.
