New York. 

 Pear Sirs: 



Have been handling 

 strawberries for the 

 past 50 years — and no 

 man can raise better 

 plants than the 30.000 

 Chesapeake you ship- 

 ped me. Please accept 

 my thanks for the tine 

 plants and good treat- 

 ment received from 

 you. My friends will 

 gii'c you some nice 

 orders next year, as 

 they all admired my 

 plants. 



I remain yours, 

 R. II. YOUNG. 



Townsend's The HEADQUARTERS FOR 

 CHESAPEAKE 



Our plantings this year of Chesapeake 

 cover the largest acreage we have ever 

 grown. 

 Strong Fibrous Roots — Perfect Specimens 



I never saw finer and healthier plants, 

 every row seems perfect. The long fibrous 

 root system, and the sturdiness of the 

 plants, are sure to take hold quickly in 

 new locations. 

 Chesapeake Demand Heavier Each Year 



Each year we find the larger commer- 

 cial growers are steadily increasing their 

 plantings of Chesapeake, due to the 

 profitable returns they have made pre- 

 viously. While our stock of Chesapeake 

 is one of the largest in the country, the 

 heavy demand on our stock is such that 

 we advise our friends to place their orders 

 as early as possible — it's your assurance 

 of 1 935 plantings.
