strawberry Plants of Quality 



CHESAPEAKE 



One of our Best Late Varieties. 



Always Sells Well. 



^J-J^Q^^pp* /V I^P* A very popular late variety with most all strawberry growers 



on account of its large size, handsome appearance, fine flavor 

 and excellent shipping quahties. Healthy, productive and profitable. Plants are large size, 

 very vigorous and healthy, no rust or disease of any kind and due to the fact that it makes 

 only a moderate number of plants the berries are large and hold their size well up to the last; 

 are bright red in color with a large green cap making them beautiful in appearance, ripens even- 

 ly without green tips, firm, being one of our best shippers, and of the highest quality. Always 

 sells for top prices. Growers around Pittsville, Md., a few miles east from here, make more 

 money from Chesapeake than from any other late variety. It is nothing unusual for them to 

 receive $1.50 to $2.00 more per crate for them than for any other variety of same season ex- 

 cept possibly Gandy. Blooms late and escapes the late frosts and very seldom, if ever, has 

 a crop failure. Fine for the home garden as it is of the best eating quality. Chesapeake docs 

 best in rich, springy soil where it will make enough plants for a good fruiting bed and if you 

 have this kind of soil you need not hesitate to plant it for it will prove to be one of your best 

 money makers. 



DEPENDABLE MONEY-MAKING VARIETIES 



My selected list of strawberries are all money-making varieties; varieties that you can 

 safely plant and be assured of results if given proper care and you can choose most any of 

 them and not go wrong as there are varieties for most all soils and all climates, and while 

 each variety is of proven value, some varieties arc a little better than others for certain sec- 

 tions and I can especially recommend for the Middle and Northern states, Premier and Bell- 

 mar, for early, together with Dorsett and Fairfax which should be tested by every grower as 

 I believe they are going to be the leading early varieties; Big Joe and Aberdeen for midseason, 

 Chesapeake, Aroma and Wm. Belt for late. For the Southern states, Missionary and Blake- 

 more for early. Aroma and Gandy for late. 



Everbearing Mastodon commercially and Champion for the home garden.
