%U MOST PERFECT J&A STRAWBERRY! 



Comparing Townking 

 WITH OTHER LATE VARIETIES 



COMPARING TOWNKING 

 WITH LUPTON 

 Annual Strawberry Report from Allegheny 

 County Agriculture Extension 

 Association of Pennsylvania 

 The Lupton and Townking are similar in 

 most respects and each produce enor- 

 mously large berries. Lupton is a poor 

 plant maker which probably accounts for 

 its standing. Townking surpassed Big Joe, 

 Chesapeake, and Lupton in yield. Kecom- 

 mend Townking for exceptionally large, 

 late berries. 



TOWNKING LARGEST BERRIES 

 York Co., Pa. 

 I am growing six varieties straw- 

 berries. I shall try Town King again next 

 year — they were the largest berries of any 

 variety I have ever planted . . . most 

 attractive and very showy. People in this 

 vicinity said they had never seen such 

 fine large strawberries.

 HIS CUSTOMERS LIKETOWNKING 



Westmoreland Co., Pa. 

 We have been growing your Townking 

 plants and our customers are so tickled 

 with Townking that we have discarded all 

 other late varieties and grow nothing but 

 Townking now as the berries are simply 

 gorgeous. AVERY K. McCLTNTOCK 



TOWNKING STANDS ALONE— That is the best description of 

 this perfect late strawberry we can give. A strong, healthy 

 grower producing a good fruiting bed in a wide variety of 

 soils and climatic conditions. In practically every section of the country 

 a good, late, heavy fruiting berry is a profitable variety and, knowing as 

 much as we do about Townking, we do not hesitate to recommend Town- 

 king to our customers as the most profitable late variety now on the 

 market. 



Its color, shape, size, and appearance is outstanding and premium prices 

 are always received for Townking. Our local auction market paid this year 

 (1937) a premium of from 3 to 5c 5 per quart for Townking over any other 

 berry being offered at that time. From coast to coast Townking has become 

 the leading late berry. If you are not already growing Townking we ask 

 that you give it a trial this year. 



• SOME OF THE OUTSTANDING POINTS OF TOWNKING 



Productiveness — Stands at the top of 

 the late variety list for yields. 

 Growth — Makes good fruiting beds 

 under ordinary growing conditions. 

 Foliage free from rust and of dark 

 green color. 



Size — Large to extra large, making at- 

 tractive pack that appeals to buyers. 



Color — Extra bright, rich red. 



Firmness — A good shipper for long- 

 distant markets. Stands up well after 

 picking. Will keep on vines several 

 days after ripe. 



Quality — Superior to Lupton or Gandy, 

 and equals Chesapeake. 



• You can buy Townking from Townsend's Nurseries only. We guarantee 

 that Townking will please you or money will be refunded.

FINEST BERRIES HE 

 EVER GREW 



Washington Co., Tenn. 

 I purchased Townking plants 

 from you last year. They are 

 without doubt the finest berries 

 I have ever grown, and my cus- 

 tomers are more than enthused 

 about them.

TOWNKING THE TALK OF THE COUNTRY 



Athens Co., Ohio 

 Our town is in Athens County and a lady, 

 who lives in the nearby county of Gallia, said 

 that your Townking were real berries and 

 every one who saw them in Gallia County 

 were carried away with their size and at- 

 tractive appearance. I am planning to give 

 you an order for Townking, Jupiter, and 

 World's Wonder. W. M. HIGLEY 



* Our Customers recommend Townking as the best late variety. So do We.
