TOWNSEND'S 
SELECT STRAIN 
are 
Vigorous Growers 
Several years ago when 
Chesapeake 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 fruit- 
ing bed under ordinary 
growing conditions is as- 
sured; —meaning larger 
yields and profits; as Chesa- 
peake is a sure cropper if 
weather conditions are at 
all favorable. 
Townsends’ Plant Farms 
have become headquarters 
for Select Strain Chesapeake 
of outstanding quality, and 
this year, as always we have 
a nice stock on hand to 
take care of your order re- 
gardless of whether it be for 
one hundred or one million. 

We ask for your ordor “fully confident” that we

berries to a quart. 
& 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 yields of fine, beautiful 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, Indiana, Mich- 
igan, Wisconsin, Ohio, West 
Virginia, North Carolina and 
Virginia report annually in- 
creasing 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 variety 
is needed in your section be sure 
to order and set Chesapeake — 
You'll be delighted with the results.
