My New Queen 



(Name Copyrighted "MAYQUEEN") 



In) 



HILE "MAYQUEEN" is new to you, it has beer\ thoroughly tested for five years. It is a 

 scientific cross between PREMIER, and Townsends Big Late. When we consider for a moment 

 its parentage it should naturally be expected that it should prove a most wonderful variety. "MAY- 

 QUEEN" has the characteristics of both its parents. In plant growth it resembles Townsends Big 

 Late. Plants are beautiful, strong and healthy and hold the loads of fruit well off the ground. 

 Like Premier, the plants produce several crowns, and every plant is loaded with the finest quality 

 fruit. Berries are extra large top shaped and beautiful bright red in color, and when I tell you that 

 it is more productive than either of its parents, I am merely stating the true facts. In a test plot, 

 side by side, MAYQUEEN, produced one-fourth more berries than Premier. The quality is as near 

 perfect as a strawberry can grow. The texture is very firm and will be classed as a long distance 

 shipper. The flavor is mild and sweet, the bright red color runs to the center. 



"MAYQUEEN" is as hardy in bloom as Premier. It is frost-proof. It has also proved a great 

 drought resister. In the five years we have grown and tested it on every variety of soil we have, it 

 has never failed to produce a perfect crop. In season it should be classed a late variety. Although 

 it begins to fruit about midseason and lasts until most very late varieties are gone. It has an im- 

 perfect flower and should be planted with our "TOWNKING" for very best results. We consider 

 this the Ideal mate and the two most Ideal strawberries we have ever grown or seen grown. Intro- 

 duced this year under our usual guarantee that it prove just as described or money refunded. Re- 

 member we take all the risk of its pleasing you. And you have the chance to stock up on the best 

 variety ever grown and tested by us.
