TOWNSENDS' 
SELECT STRAIN 
are 
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 profits; as Chesa- 
peake is a sure cropper if 
weather conditions are at 
all favorable. 
Townsends’ Plant Farms 
nave become headquarters 
for Select Strain Chesa- 
peake of outstanding qual- 
ity, and this year, as always 
we have a nice stock on 
hand to take care of your 
order regardless of whether 
it be for one hundred or 
one million.

Sey Heb ged corer F —Doesn’t come into bearing until all

several days. fully two weeks. 
—Average size, 20 to 30 G—Distinctly a high quality berry, which 
berries to a quart. brings top market price. 
® LATE BERRIES BRING HIGHER PRICES 
JN sections where late berries command higher prices than 
4 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 ebtained 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. 
If a superior late fruiting va- 
riety is needed in your section 
be sure to order and set Chesa- 
peake—yYou'll be delighted with 
the results, 
HERE’S WHAT 
R. W. BRUBAKER THINKS 
OF CHESAPEAKE STRAWBERRIES 
GENTLEMEN: Lancaster Co., Pa. 
‘For twenty-five years I have used your 
plants for setting my berry fields. The 
Chesapeake have always made me money. 
But I must say that your new Select-Strain 
Chesapeake, have been more than satisfac- 
tory. They make better fruiting beds—fruit 
is larger—more attractive—and certainly 
we have larger yields than ever before, 
making more profit per acre. After com- 
paring your Chesapeake with some 
others, and seeing them growing in 
your fields, you may be assured 
that Townsend will get all our 
plant orders from now on. 
Yours Sincerely, : 
R. W. BRUBAKER,
