 Vigorous Growers 



Several years ago when 

 Chesapeake was originated, 

 it was noted to be a shy 

 plant maker ; however 

 through our method of 

 "plant selection" we have 

 built up the strain of this 

 fine variety to such a high 

 degree of plant making 

 quality that a good fruit- 

 ing bed under ordinary 

 growing conditions is as- 

 sured ; — meaning larger 

 yields and profit* : »« r-Vi ~<a- 

 peake is a sure cropper if 

 weather conditions are at 

 all favorable. 



Townsends' Plant Farms 

 have become headquarters 

 for Select Strain Chesapeake 

 of outstanding quality, and 

 this year, as always we have 

 a nice stock on hand to 

 take care of your order re- 

 gardless of whether it be for 

 one hundred or one million.

© LATE BERRIES BRING HICHER PRICES 



IN sections where late berries command higher prices than 

 early varieties, we recommend Chesapeake as a well-known 

 profit-maker. In most sections Chesapeake begins to ripen three or 

 four days after Townking. 



Best results can be obtained on rich loam or springy type soil, 

 where Chesapeake produces excellent yields of fine, beautiful berries 

 —attractive in size, color and 

 shape. There is always a ready 

 market for berries of this 

 nature and good prices can 

 easily be obtained. 



Enthusiastic growers 

 throughout the Northern 

 States, Illinois, Indiana, Mich- 

 igan, Wisconsin, Ohio, West 

 Virginia, North Carolina and 

 Virginia report annually in- 

 creasing demands for Chesa- 

 peake. To meet these demands 

 we constantly devote more 

 and more acreage to this fine 

 late variety.

 is needed in your section be sure 

 to order and set Chesapeake — 

 You'll be delighted with the results.
