the Late Varieties

 shipper.

 until all the early varieties 

 are practically through and 

 extends berry season fully two 

 weeks.

 berry, which brings top mar- 

 ket price.

 Dear 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 fine 

 plants and good treat- 

 ment received from 

 you. My friends will 

 give you some nice 

 orders next year, as 

 they all admired my 

 plants. 



I remain yours.

TOWNSEND'S ARE HEADQUARTERS 

 FOR CHESAPEAKE 



To meet the increased demand of our customers, 

 we have again made larger plantings of this fine 

 late variety, and it is one of the largest acreage 

 we have ever grown. 



STRONG FIBEROUS ROOTS— PERFECT 

 SPECIMENS 



Practically all our Chesapeakes are grown in new 

 ground soil, and I never saw finer and healthier 

 plants; every row seems to be perfect. The long 

 bright fiberous root system and the sturdiness of 

 these plants are sure to take hold quickly in new 

 locations. 



CHESAPEAKE DEMAND HEAVIER 

 EACH YEAR 



Each year we find the larger commercial growers 

 are steadily increasing their plantings of Ches- 

 apeake, d\ie to the profitable returns they have 

 made previously. While our stock of Chesapeake 

 is one of the largest in the country, the heavy 

 demand on our stock each year is such that we 

 advise ovir friends to place their orders as early 

 as possible — it's your assurance of 1936 plantings. 

 We will be glad to reserve plants for you and make 

 shipment on any specified date.
