Chesapeake Strawberries 



Chesapeake Is Undoubtedy 

 The Best Late Berry 



Pittsville, Maryland is one of the largest strawberry 

 shipping centers in the country and there are more 

 Chesapeakes grown and shipped from here than all 

 other late varieties combined. The reason for this is 

 that it is the best paying one of all the late varieties. 

 The berries are real beauties and the most delicious 

 flavor you can find in any late berry. The fruit is 

 large and handsome and will stay so until the end of 

 the fruiting season. The berries are a rich, glossy red 

 with bright yellow seed and large green caps; very uni- 

 form in size; firm and will ship better than any other 

 late berry we have ever grown with the possible ex- 

 ception of Lupton, but Lupton cannot be considered 

 when we want quality, the votes are all for Chesapeake. 



Chesapeake should have good, well manured land 

 and good care as it is not as prolific a plant maker as 

 some varieties, but you will be amply repaid for this 

 extra care in the real fancy berries that you will get. 

 Chesapeake produces extra large healthy plants but nev- 

 er as many as most varieties, for this reason the plants 

 can never be as cheap as the free growing varieties but 

 the results are well worth a little more and they are 

 sure to return you an extra profit. They are heavy 

 producers of large berries and that hold up large until 

 the end of the season. They are very seldom killed by 

 frost as they blossom very late. We believe they are 

 the most profitable late berry to grow for commercial 

 use. Being a very fancy berry, large, delicious and 

 handsome, they will always sell for fancy prices.
