LATE VARIETIES 



CHESAPEAKE 



Excels All Late Varieties 



The best and most popular late variety with strawberry growers and deservedly so 

 on account of its large size, handsome appearance, fine flavor and excellent shipping 

 qualities. Healthy, prodvictive and profitable. Plants are large size, very vigorous and 

 healthy, no rust or disease of any kind and due to the fact that Chesapeake makes only 

 a moderate number of plants the berries are all large, not just a few large ones and the 

 rest small, but hold their size well up to the last ; in this respect it is the best late berry 

 grown. 



The berries are bright red in color with a large green cap making them beautiful in 

 appearance, ripens evenly without green tips, firm, being one of our best shippers and of 

 the highest quality. Always sells for top prices. Blooms late and escapes the late frosts 

 and very seldom, if ever, has a crop failure. Fine for the home garden as it is of the 

 best eating quality. Chesapeake does best on a rich springy soil where, with good culti- 

 vation, will make a good, well spaced, fruiting bed and if you have this kind of soil you 

 need not hesitate to plant it for it will prove to be one of your best money makers:. I 

 have the best supply of Chesapeake plants this spring I have had for some years and 1 

 am sure will please you. 



PEARL ^ fancy extra late variety beginning to ripen just after Gandy, which it 

 resembles but will probably do better on the lighter soils if they are rich ; 

 but like Gandy needs low springy soil to do its best. It blossoms late and often escapes 

 the late frosts, making it desirable for frosty locations. The berries are large, dark red, 

 firm and a good shipper. The plants are medium in size, but vigorous growers, making 

 plenty of plants for a good fruiting bed, in fact, makes plants so freely should be kept 

 thinned for best results. Pearl is the variety to plant if you wish to extend the straw- 

 berry season for a day or two or have a market for fancy late berries. 



L U P T O N ^ fancy late shipping variety that always brings top prices on account 

 of its large size and handsome appearance being almost as large and 

 handsome as Chesapeake. The plants are good bedders making a better fruiting bed than 

 Chesapeake and if your land does not suit Chesapeake would suggest planting Lupton. 

 The berries are large and handsome, very uniform in size and shape ; color a rich shiny 

 red all over, no green tips, with a large green calyx that adds much to its beauty ; very 

 firm, making an extra good shipper and for this reason is a money-maker. 



Qi J!|^^ J^ ]^ Y ^ fancy extra late shipping variety that is very extensively grown in 

 some sections and usually brings top prices for the quality of the Gandy 

 is known in every market throughout the country. Makes plants freely but should be 

 grown on black spring soil as it needs plenty of moisture at fruiting time. The berries 

 are of large size, very firm, being one of our best shippers and will not spoil if picking 

 is neglected for a day or two ; are bright red in color, handsome in appearance and of 

 excellent flavor. 



AROMA "^ ^'^^y popular late variety on account of its large size ; attractive 

 appearance and excellent quality and is extensively planted in all sec- 

 tions and especially in the middle west. Plants are strong, vigorous growers and are 

 heavy producers of large, round, almost perfect shaped berries that are bright red and 

 attractive in appearance. A strictly high flavored high class market berry and one that 

 you can ship to distant markets and will reach there in almost perfect condition. A real 

 money-maker in many sections. 



When hoeing plants for the first time be sure to uncover the buds of all plants that 

 have been covered by wind, in cultivating, or too deep setting as they will never amount 

 to much if they are not uncovered. This is very important, for the plants, altho they may 

 not actually die, will be so smothered that it will be all they can do to live and will not 

 have the vitality to put out runners and make plants.
