By selective methods, we have built up the original old strain 
Gandy-Prize until it is today twice as productive as when it was 
introduced years ago. We have tested out a good many extra 
late varieties, but have failed to find any later than the Gandy; 
and none with the quality that this extra late variety has. We 
have discarded such varieties as Orem, Mascot, New 
York, and several others as we consider the Gandy the 
cream of them all. It is now the King of extra late va¬ 
rieties, excellent for home use and a sure dividend-pro¬ 
ducer for the market gardener. Whenever we find a bet¬ 
ter late berry we will be found listing it, but until we do 
we shall list only Gandy. 
Culture —A rich black loam is the ideal spot for Gandy 
although it will give excellent results on any type of 
springy soil.

GANDY a very late variety 
The Townsend selective and restrictive method of 
improving strawberry qualities has scored another signal 
success in producing "Blue-Blood" strains of the Aroma 
and Gandy varieties which offer the grower quality and 
productiveness far in advance of any others to be pur¬ 
chased in the United States.

The dollar you invest in 
Townsend Aromas and Gandys 
will work harder and produce 
greater dividends than any 
other investment you may make 
in extra-late varieties. 
Co mmercial Possibilities. Excellent for 
shipping because of firmness of fruit. 
Fine results are obtained with Aroma in

AROMA 
Large associations in 
the western and south¬ 
western states have dis¬ 
covered by test that the 
Townsend strain of the 
Aroma strawberry is far 
superior in quality and 
production to locally de¬ 
veloped strains. As a re¬ 
sult they have been pur¬ 
chasing our plants in ever- 
increasing quantities for the 
past 20 years. 
Appearance. Large—a brilliant sparkling red. 
Productiveness. A yield of 10,000 quarts per acre is common when Town¬ 
send's Selected Strain Aroma plants are used.
