POPULAR LATE VARIETY THROUGHOUT 

 THE EAST AND NORTHEAST 



CHESAPEAKE has long been popular as a fine, highly 

 desirable late berry for home garden and commercial 

 growing. However, at times it is difficult to get a good 

 fruiting row and we have given the utmost care in select- 

 ing our CHESAPEAKE for vigor and good plant produc- 

 tion. This careful selection has meant good fruiting rows 

 from RAYNER'S CHESAPEAKE for nine years. We have 

 a good supply of CHESAPEAKE for the experienced berry- 

 grower who knows the many merits of this variety. 



Vigorous Plants — Set in ricli, well manured soil, CHESA- 

 PEAKE responds well to frequent cultivation. Strong, healthy 

 foliage resists leaf spot and scorch, holding up well during fruit- 

 ing season. Blooms late, escaping late frosts. 



Very Large Berries — Hold up well in size throughout season 

 because of natural wide spacing of plants. 



Fine Quality — Dark red berries of truly delicious flavor have 

 always made CHESAPEAKE a favorite with home gardeners, 

 local market and commercial grower. 



Excellent Shipper — Unexcelled for shipping purposes. Firm 

 berries arrive at market in perfect condition, continually demand- 

 ing top prices. 



Heavy Producer — Although CHESAPEAKE sets less fruit than 

 some varieties its ability to size up the entire crop has made it 

 one of the most productive late varieties.
