Large, Late, Heavy Yielding Variety — One of Our Big Specials 
—Originated here in Wicomico County, Mary- 
land, over twenty years ago, has become a gen- 
eral favorite with thousands of growers in all 
parts of the country. Requires rich springy soil 
to do its best. When soil conditions are suitable, 
CHESAPEAKE is not surpassed by very many 
varieties. Fruit large to extra large. Color a 
bright glossy red. Quality excellent for either 
home use or a market variety. Usually grows 
just enough plants to make an ideal fruiting row 
without any restrictions, and is enormously pro- 
ductive on good soil. Generally sells for top 
prices on all markets. 
Described by one of our customers as follows: 
Quality comes first—is simply delicious. 
Color a beautiful rich glossy red. 
Berries large and hold size well. 
Firmness—Firm enough to be classed as a 
good shipper. 
Health—One of the cleanest, healthiest plants 
on the list. 
Productiveness—There are very few late sorts 
that will outyield it. 
TOWNSENDS’ NURSERIES are headquarters 
for high-grade CHESAPEAKE plants. 
Our prices are greatly reduced. Order early 
while our stock is plenty.

Connellsville, Ind., April 4th, 1930. 
Gentlemen: 
Enclosing picture of my Strawberry 
patch grown from your plants. And 
I want to say Mr. Townsend that I 
am very proud of this field. This 
patch of 2000 plants of Chesapeake 
occupying a strip of ground seventy- 
five feet wide by one hundred fifty 
feet long produced something like 
3000 quarts of berries last year. The 
gross receipts were $500.00. The best 
report in State by the Horticultural 
Society Bulletin was $550.00 gross off 
of % acre. So you can see I easily 
had them beat. There is no troubie 
in getting your plants to grow—if one 
sets according to your directions.
