The Aristocrat of Strawberries 



Big Berries, Big Crops, Big Prices 



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 

 grown. 



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. 



To our customers who have not grown Chesapeake, we advise they give them a 

 trial in a rich piece of moist, well drained ground, for they will not do well in all types 

 of soil, giving them the best of attention and we are certain you will be well paid for 

 your extra trouble. 



WASHINGTON (Per). A new late variety introduced recently in Michigan, 

 called the Honey Sweet Strawberry by its introducer and highly recommended by them. 

 We have found it to be a good plant maker, fairly productive of medium sized, dark 

 red berries of somewhat irregular shape, but we believe it like Wm. Belt, better suited 

 to the climatic conditions further north. Of little value in this section, 



PEARL. Blooms late and escapes late frosts. The plants are strong, vigorous 

 growers in almost all types of soil, and are very productive of large, firm, attractive 

 berries somewhat resembling Chesapeake. Very late. Valuable where it is important 

 to extend the season of fancy berries. We have a good supply of strong, vigorous plants.
