ALLEN'S BOOK OF BERRIES— 1926 



wanted, Paul Jones should be quite valuable. It will produce tremendous crops 

 of medium size, dark red berries, fairly good looking and fairly good in quality. 

 It should be fruited with Big Joe, Senator Dunlap or McAlpin. The berries are 

 rather long in shape somewhat resembling the Haverland, but are darker in color. 

 We believe that, to get the greatest satisfaction and profits from your berry plant- 

 ings, it would be better to plant the larger, fancier berries such as Premier for 

 early, Big Joe or Eaton for mid-season, and Chesapeake, Big Late, McAlpin or 

 Wm. Belt for late. We have a nice stock of Paul Jones plants and they sure do 

 fill the boxes. Price list, page 35.

My strawberry 

 plants arrived 

 Saturday, May 

 2nd, and were 

 planted in an 



hour. They were in the 

 best of condition. Also 

 received the return in 

 stamps of the excess 

 postage I mailed.

Chesapeake, the best late berry. 



Chesapeake 



This is the best late berry ever introduced and is the only worthy running 

 mate for Premier that we know of. We believe Chesapeake will outship and outsell 

 any other strawberry ever put on the market. There are so many good points to 

 Chesapeake that we are going to list them so as not to miss any. 



1. The berries are large in size and hold up their size well to the end of the 

 season. In this respect it is the best berry we ever saw, even beating Premier in 

 this particular. We sold out our entire stock of plants last year, but in 1924 

 among about 40 of the leading varieties, our Chesapeake averaged larger in size 

 than any other variety we had, even larger than Big Joe and lots larger than 

 Cooper/much heralded as a fancy berry.
