CHESAPEAKE 



The Favorite Late Berry 



All growers seem to make money on this variety, 

 especially when grown under conditions suitable for it. 

 Chesapeake grows to perfection on most any highly 

 manured soil. 



Very Large Berries of Supreme Quality 



It is a good producer of very large berries that hold 

 their shape well until the end of the season. It does 

 not yield as many berries per acre as some of the early 

 varieties but the size and quality of its fruit enables it 

 to sell for a much better price which offsets this dis- 

 advantage. The berries are firm enough to ship to 

 distant markets and to arrive in first class condition. 

 An exceedingly valuable commercial berry but equally 

 adapted for home planting. 



MASTODON 



The Supreme Everbearer 



No other everbearing strawberry grown is as 

 good as Mastodon. This variety is a proven 

 success and has fruited berries continuously 

 throughout the season for hundreds of thou- 

 sands of strawberry lovers. 



Loads of Big Berries in Three Months 



Unlike the other varieties Mastodon begins 

 to bear big luscious berries three months after 

 planting and bears three big crops in eighteen 

 months. Customers have reported yields as 

 high as three quarts per plant the first fall. 



Why Wait A Whole Year 



Plant Mastodon this spring and grow your 

 own berries this summer and fall instead of 

 buying them. If you have more than you can 

 use they are easily disposed of in the nearby 

 community where they will always bring top 

 prices. 



CHESAPEAKE— greatest money 

 maker for a late variety 



LATE STRAWBERRIES 



Aroma. Clean, healthy, hardy growing plants, 

 does well on most soils. Fruit large, deep 

 red, excellent quality for home use or 

 market. 



Gandy. The favorite late berry in many local- 

 ities. Large size and handsome appearance 

 make it command highest prices on the 

 market. Not quite as productive as some of 

 the other berries, but its appearance and 

 quality offset this. Good for either home 

 use or commercial plantings. 



LUPTON. A good late variety, large, hand- 

 some, attractive berry commanding good 

 prices on the markets. It is similar to 

 Chesapeake in many ways and is not quite 

 so particular about its soil requirements. A 

 favorite in many localities. 



Wm. Belt. An extra good quality late berry for 

 home use or market. Its flavor is extraordi- 

 narily good, the berries are medium to large 

 size, ideal for home use. 



GEM 



MASTODON EVERBEARER 



The New Everbearing 

 Sensation 



This new variety was introduced a 

 couple of seasons ago and has been 

 planted in almost every section in the 

 East. It is Mastodon's great rival and 

 will yield more in certain localities. 

 Gem is a vigorous grower and its ber- 

 ries are large in size. 



Quick Profits With Gem 



Gem will start to bear the first sea- 

 son planted and will bear large crops 

 until frost. These berries bring the 

 highest prices in the markets or on a 

 roadside stand. There is a great oppor- 

 tunity for making money by planting 

 Gem. Get your patch started this sea- 

 son, they will give you enough berries 

 for your own family and some to sell 

 to your neighbors or ship to the city 

 markets.
