Chesapeake Is The Aristocrat Of Strawberries 



Chesapeake 



The Aristocrat of Strawberries 



This is the finest dessert berry 

 of the late varieties and will keep 

 better and sell at higher prices 

 than any other late berry grown. 

 The fruit is very large and hand- 

 some and will stay so until the end 

 of the fruiting season. The berries 

 are a rich, glossy red with bright 

 yellow seed, have a large green cap 

 and are very uniform ; have the 

 most delicious flavor of any berry 

 we have ever tasted ; very firm and 

 will ship better than any other 



large late berry we have ever CHESAPEAKE 



grown. Big- Berries — Big Crops — Big Prices 



Chesapeake must have good, well manured land and good care, for it is sometimes 

 difficult to get sufficient plants for a good fruiting bed. This variety produces extra 

 large, healthy plants. This is necessary for heavy production of such extra large 

 berries. The plants can never be cheap compared with free growing varieties but 

 the results are well worth a little more and they are sure to return an extra profit. 

 They are heavy producers of large berries that are all large — ^not a few large berries 

 and a lot of small ones — all of the same enormous size and they hold their size through- 

 out the season. 



They are very seldom frosted for they blossom very late and we believe they are 

 the best and most profitable late berry to grow for commercial or home use. Being a 

 very fancy berry, large, delicious and handsome they will always sell at top prices. 



GIBSON. This is another old standard 

 variety that has proven itself many times 

 over. Has a very vigorous growth and 

 makes a fine fruiting bed. produces heavily 

 of bright red berries with a fancy green 

 cap. Does not ship well but are fine for 

 local market or home use and are fine for 

 preserving and canning. 



BRANDYWINE. A late variety that 

 has been grown for many years and has 

 found many friends. A good plant maker 

 and a heavy producer of fine quality, 

 dark red berries that are very firm and 

 will stand shipment to distant markets 

 without damage, are also fine for the home 

 garden and local market. 



BERRIES PAY BEST. 



Dear Friends: Lexington, Va., June 3, 1932. 



We received the plants all O. K. Shipped on Saturday and arrived here Monday 

 at 11.30 A. M., in first class shape and they are doing fine; I think every single plant 

 is living. Have worked them three times and removed the blossoms twice, but somehow 

 we missed a few on the Premier and today we picked a quart and a half of the finest 

 berries I have ever seen. I was never so surprised in all my life; many of the berries 

 measured over one and one-half inches in length. Most of the plants have runners on 

 them a foot long. 



I certainly wish I had set out a patch of berries last year. I can get at least 50c 

 a gallon for all I could raise this year and that is mighty good according to everything 

 else here; eggs are 8c to 9c a dozen, butter 8c to 9c a pound, veal calves 3c a pound 

 and no market even at these prices. 



Thanking you all for your kindness, I am 



Your friend, J. W. Goodbar. 

 P. S. These are the first Premier I have ever raised and I have certainly been missing 

 it by not raising them as they seem well adapted to our soil and climate. Never saw 

 finer berries than we gathered yesterday. J. W. G.
