WELL KNOWN 

 PROFIT MAKER OF 

 LATE VARIETIES 



DOUBLE INSPECTED 

 VIGOROUS GROWER 



When first originated, it was generally ad- 

 mitted that Chesapeake was a shy plant 

 maker. However, through our method of 

 "plant selection", we have built up the strain 

 of this fine variety to such a degree that new 

 runner plants grow much more freely, and 

 newer yields have reached a truly impressive 

 stage. Under ordinary conditions, Town- 

 send's strain of this variety makes good fruit- 

 ing beds — meaning larger profits — as Chesa- 

 peake is a sure cropper if weather conditions 

 are at all favorable. 



This year our Select Strain Chesapeake is 

 exceptionally fine. Acre after acre of 

 healthy, productive plants make it possible 

 for Townsends' to provide plants to fill any 

 order — be it one hundred or one million. 

 Each plant is Double Inspected, Certified, 

 and True to Name. 



HESAPEAKE has always had a host of friends, and in 

 sections where late berries are in demand, this peerless 

 member of the berry world never fails to command higher 

 prices. To commercial and home growers in the northern states 

 (growers who know), Chesapeake is considered as just about 

 the last word in beauty, size, rich coloring, firmness and attract- 

 iveness in a truly fancy strawberry. Thriving best on damp, 

 rich loam or springy type soil, this variety ripens three or four 

 days before Townking and is ready for market when most late 

 varieties are all through. 



Chesapeake Dominates The 

 Later Varieties Because : 



Sure cropper. Exceptionally 

 late and an excellent shipper. 



Doesn't discolor after pick- 

 ing, and retains bright, rich 

 red color for several days. 



Average size, 20 to 30 berries 

 to a quart. Chesapeake is a 

 distinctive high quality 

 berry that brings top market 

 prices.
