Vigorous Growers 
Several years ago when Chesa- 
peake was originated, it was 
noted to be a shy plant maker; 
however through our method of 
“plant selection’’ we have built 
up the strain of this fine 
variety to such a high degree 
of plant making quality that a 
good fruiting bed under ordi- 
nary growing conditions is as- 
sured; ——- meaning Jarger yields 
and profits; as Chesapeake is a 
sure cropper if weather condi- 
tions are at all favorable 
Townsend’s Plant Farms have 
become headquarters for Selcet 
Strain Chesapeake of outstand- 
ing quality, and this year, as 
always, we have a nice stock on 
hand to take care of your order 
regardless of whether it be for 
one hundred or ene million.

LATE BERRIES BRING HIGHER PRICES 
N sections where late berries command higher prices than 
early varieties, we recommend Chesapeake as a well-known 
profit-maker. In most sections Chesapeake begins to ripen three or 
four days after Townking. 
Best results can be obtained on rich loam or springy type soil, 
where Chesapeake produces excellent elds it of fine, peau berries 
—attractive in size, color and 
shape. There is always a 
ready market for berries of 
this nature and good prices 
can easily be obtained. 
Enthusiastic growers 
throughout the Northern 
States, Illinois, Wisconsin, 
Ohio, West Virginia, North 
Carolina, Virginia, Indiana 
and Michigan report annually 
increasing demands for Chesa- 
peake. To meet these demands 
we constantly devote more and 
more acreage to this fine late 
variety. 
If a superior late fruiting va- 
riety is needed in your section 
be sure to order and set Chesa- 
peake—You’ll be delighted with 
the results. 
HERE’S WHAT 
R. W. BRUBAKER THINKS 
OF CHESAPEAKE STRAWBERRIES 
GENTLEMEN: Lancaster Co., Pa. 
For twenty-five years I have used your J} 
Plants for setting my berry fields. The 
Chesapeake have always made me money. 
But I must say that your new Select-Strain 
Chesapeake, have been more than _satisfac- 
tory. They make better fruiting beds—fruit 
is larger—more attractive—and certainly 
we have larger yields than ever before, 
making more profit per acre. After com- 
paring your Chesapeake with some 
others, and seeing them growing in 
your fields, you may be assured 
that Townsend will get all our 
plant orders from now on. 
Yours Sincerely, 
R. W. BRUBAKER 4
