including Lupton. For commercial groTvers this 

 is Very important as the condition of the fruit 

 when it reaches tlie market, always is an )mi)ortaiit 

 factor in the price received. With Chesapeake's 

 firmness and good keeping qualities, top prices 

 are the rule for this variety ou the large wholesale 

 markets. 



I'RODUCTIVENESS.— As a late variety Chesa- 

 peake is very jiroductive. Although they do not 

 set an abiuidance of fruit, as some varieties do, 

 they set plenty to produce a mighty fine crop uC 

 large marketable berries which practically all size 

 up, ri.ght to the last picking. 



GROWTH.— To get a good fruiting bed Chcsa- i 

 peake should be set in rich, well manured soil, .1 

 ihey respond to good cultivation and the soil \ 

 should be stirred arountl them often during tlio 

 growin.g season. The foliage is stron..g and healthy, 

 very resistant to leaf spot and othi'r foliage trou- 

 bles, holding up well until the whole crop is har- 

 vested. Chesapeake l)looms very late and by so 

 doing escapes late frosts, much as Premier does 

 through its resistance and abundance of bloom. :i
