THE "QUEEN" OF ALL STRAWBERRIES 

 FOR QUICK FREEZING! 



Mr. L. Sherman Townsend, Mgr. Townsend Nurseries 

 Introduces to the Frozen Food World 



POLAR QUEEN 



Mi 



— This grand variety is so outstanding in so many fine respects that it is difficult to 

 pick out its best merit. 



THE STRAWBERRY BRED FOR QUICK FREEZING 



FIRST — it i S adaptable to practically every locality where strawberries are grown. If you can 

 grow Missionary and Blakemore then you can grow POLAR-QUEEN. If you can grow PREMIER, 

 FAIRFAX CATSKILL, then you can grow POLAR-QUEEN. Like most varieties of strawberries 

 it flourishes on moist, fertile soil. ! 



SECOND _poLAR QUEEN, is at least 40 per cent larger than Blakemore and holds its size even 

 to the last picking compared to the latter, at its best. 



THIRD —POLAR QUEEN, is firm. Can be classed with Blakemore, again in this respect. POLAR- 

 QUEEN, has NO green tip, and has a SOLID-RED COLOR through and through. Color is a 

 very bright shining red, its cap has a tendency to grow away from the berry and thus is very 

 easily removed and POLAR QUEEN'S, solid red color runs well up under the cap showing a mini- 

 mum of light red, this is another outstanding feature of POLAR QUEEN. 



FOURTH —POLAR-QUEEN, is a strong healthy vigorous producer, making a good fruiting bed on 

 a wide range of soils, and is one of the heaviest producers of strawberries on the market. 



POLAR-QUEEN, strawberry plants are sold only for the production of berries, and the plants are not to be used for 



propagation by anyone.
