NEW FROST RESISTANT 
HIS fine new variety is becoming 
very popular throughout the berry 
growing sections of the western and 
northwestern states. It’s resistant to 
late frosts like Premier, insures heavy 
yields even under adverse weather con- 
ditions, and can be counted on to pro- 
duce a good crop of fine quality berries. 
Even in the New England states the 
growers are taking to this variety as it’s 
a long season cropper. 
FRUIT: Large size, extra good quality, bright 
rich red color makes it a sure seller with the 
fancy trade. Will not discolor within a reason- 
able time after picking. 
SEASON OF RIPENING: Starts fruiting about the 
same time as Premier and continues throughout 
the Spring berry season. This year we picked 
Grand Champion with Townking and Aroma. 
FROST-PROOF: Extreme hardiness and frost-resistance 
make Spring crop failure due to frost impossible with 
Grand Champion, It’s the nearest thing to crop in- 
surance! 
YIELDS: Bred for heavy production. Due to the vigorous growth and heavy 
foliage, strong fruiting crowns are developed making Townsends’ Grand 
Champion one of the most productive on our list.
