Superior even to 
the Chesapeake 
This is a worthy brother-aristocrat of the Dorsett, 
having no faults and often bringing fifty cents to a 
dollar a crate MORE on the open market than the 
Chesapeake. It is the most perfect of all late straw¬ 
berries. 
For several years, in test plots, it has outyielded 
two to one the Chesapeake, Gandy, Sample, 
Lupton, and Wm. Belt in color, shape, size, 
beauty, and firmness. 
Its soft, mild flavor has found general 
favor wherever it has been marketed. 
Town King needs only average soil to produce 
healthy growth and a good fruiting bed of plants. 
The Townsend nursery is proud to be the exclusive 
copyrighters of this berry which gives continued prom¬ 
ise of being the most universally planted of all the 
late-fruiting varieties.

MR. J. K. BARNHART, New Carlisle, Ohio. ‘‘Town King 
has done exceptionally line for me. Never saw such line ber¬ 
ries and the best sellers on the market.”

Toivn King never failed to top the market, often bringing fifty 
cents to a dollar per crate over the famous Chesapeake, which 
is at home in that section. 
Lancaster, Pa. 
I have been growing Town King the past seven years, and 
consider it the best of the eight varieties grown on our farms. 
Jt is attractive in color, large in sice, and our customers will 
pay from five to ten cents more a quart than for other varieties 
offered on our roadside market. 
A. VOCKMAN BROS. 
Gentlemen : Buchanan County, Mo. 
I fruited several varieties of strawberries the past spring, 
and Town King outranked all of them by far. All were planted 
on the same ground. It sure is an ideal berry. It has the sice, 
color and productiveness, and looks just as fresh on the market, 
as when first picked from the vines. It brought as high as a 
dollar per crate more than Premier, and they were large as 
hen eggs. You may think I am exaggerating, but I have seen 
people take a knife and eat them like an apple. I expect to set 
seven to eight acres next spring, and ninety per cent will be

MR. CLYDE DAVIS, Pittsville, Maryland. “Town King best 
strawberry I have ever grown or seen grown. Surpasses such 
varieties as Chesapeake, Lupton, Big Joe, both in quality and 
production J’ 
Gentlemen: Greensburg, Penna. 
H e have been growing your Town King and our customers 
arc so tickled with them that we Im-ve discarded all other late 
varieties. The berries are simply beautiful, far surpassing the 
other late kinds on our soil.

Gentlemen: 
Please send catalog listing Town King. I have seen this 
berry growing here, and without doubt it is the finest late 
berry I have ever seen. My neighbor picked better than 7000 
quarts per acre, outyielding the well known Chesapeake.
