SfteMOST PERFECTS STRAWBERRY! 



Comparing Townking 



With Other Late Varieties 



Annual Strawberry Report from Alle- 

 gheny County Agrleulture Extension 

 Association of Pennsylvania 



The Lupton and Townking are aim- J 

 ilar in most respects and each produce [ 

 enormously large berries. Lupton ia [ 

 a poor plant maker which probably I 

 accounts for its standing. Townking 

 surpassed Big Joe, Chesapeake, and 

 Lupton in yield. Recommend Town- 

 king for exceptionally large late ber- 

 ries.

TOWNKING stands alone — as the most perfect late straw- 

 berry! A strong, healthy grower, it produces a fine fruit- 

 ing bed on a wide variety of soils and climatic conditions. Regardless 

 of what section of the country you may five in, you know that a 

 good, late fruiting berry is a profitable variety. Realizing this fact, 

 we say with full knowledge of the importance of this claim, that 

 Townking is the most profitable late variety on the market today! 

 Premium prices are always paid for Townking, for its color, shape, 

 size and appearance are all outstanding and attractive. From the 

 Atlantic to the Pacific; and from Maine to Florida and Texas, Town- 

 king has taken its rightful place as the King of all late berries. Give 

 it a trial this year.

• COULD NOT ASK FOR A 

 BETTER LATE BERRY 



Suffolk Co., N. Y. 

 Please enter my order for 9000 

 Townking. In all my experience

 seen anything like it. In size, 

 color, and heavy yields, I could 

 not want for a better late berry.
