s~UR method of select strain improvement of 
ktrawberry plants has met with one of its most 
a SS 
successful achievements in Aroma, which is 
characterized by a quality and productivity far superior to 
anv other strain you can buy. : : 
For greatest return on the dollar invested, we believe that 
no other strawberry variety compares with ‘Townsends’ Select 
Strain Aroma. Large berry growing associations, whose fa- 
miliarity with Aroma was already vast, have found our strain 
superior in quality to all others. Each year we grow millions 
of plants to supply the enormous Aroma demand by these 
organizations. If you have not tried this marvelous variety, 
we urge you to place your order with us now—we know 
you’ll be amazed and pleased at the results! i ; 
Fruit—A bright sparkling red, slightly conical in shape, with 
large green cap. The texture is of the best and for this reason 
its one of the leading shipping berries on our list. : 
Production—Yields of Aroma are well above the average. It is 
not a rare thing for our customers to report yields of 10,000 
quarts to the acre, especially in the Aroma berry section. It is 
also found to be an exceptionally fine, heavy yielding late variety 
for the New England States. ref OR b 
Vigor—While Aroma likes rich loam or clay soil, it will do 
well on most all types with exception of high sandy soils. It 
is a vigorous grower, making a nice fruiting bed under just 
ordinary growing conditions.

a good fruiting bed even under unfavorable growing 
conditions. 
Productiveness—At Official test of Connecticut Agri- 
cultural Station, Mt. Carmel, Connecticut, it produced 
at the rate of 15,110 quarts per acre. Mr. Virgil Morse 
of Lincoln County, Maine, picked 7,000 quarts from 1% 
acre in 1936. Mr. A. Quigley, Hampshire County, Mass., 
picked 600 quarts from 1/16 of an acre. 
Season—can be classed as early to midseason variety, 
ripening a few days behind Premier. 
As Howard Supreme is an imperfect flowering variety 
and a heavy producer, it should be well pollinized by 
planting equal rows (2 rows of each) with such varieties 
as Premier, Dorsett, or Aberdeen.
