_Tingle’s Strawberry Plants 
ONE OF OUR CHESAPEAKE PATCHES 
Chesapeake—(Perfect) 
There has been for several years a place for a late variety that would 
produce berries that were equal to the Gandy and that would prove a little 
more productive especially on dry soils. It looks like that place has been filled 
in the Chesapeake, for while two or three days earlier than the Gandy, it is 
late enough to be out of the way of the midseason kinds very nicely. One of 
the strong points to be urged in its favor is the splendid shipping qualities and 
very handsome appearance of the berries. The Chesapeake brings the top 
price on the markets. The buyers always prefer it to any other variety. And 
while we are not sure that it will bear more fruit than the Gandy, if Gandy is 
given a location that exactly suits it I am sure that on an average it will prove 
very much more productive. It isasplendid grower, making just enough plants 
for a matted row, but too few to make it possible for nurserymen to sell them 
at a very low price. There is no sign of rust or other disease about them, and 
the plants are heavily rooted and stocky. I am sure that you will not make 
any mistake in planting quite heavily of the Chesapeake, for while there may 
be an overproduction of small, inferior or poor shipping berries I do not think 
there is any danger that there will be too many berries of the handsome 
appearance, and splendid shipping qualities, combined with high quality that 
is to be found in the Chesapeake.
