CHESAPEAKE 



Excels All Late Varieties 



The best and most popular late 

 variety with strawberry growers 

 and deservedly so on account of 

 its large size, handsome appear- 

 ance, fine flavor and excellent 

 shipping- qualities. Healthy, pro- 

 ductive and profitable. Plants 

 are large size, very vigorous and 

 healthy, no rust or disease of 

 any kind and due to the fact that 

 Chesapeake makes only a moder- 

 ate number of plants the berries 

 are all large, not just a few large 

 ones and the rest small, but hold 

 their size well up to the last : in 

 this respect it is the best late 

 berry grown. 



The berries are bright red in 

 color with a large green cap 

 making them beautiful in ap- 

 pearance, ripens evenly without 

 green tips, firm, being one of our 

 l)est shippers and of the highest 

 qualit3\ Always sells for top

CHESAFKAKh— Large, firm. A Beauty. the late frosts and very seldom, 



if ever, has a crop failure. Fine for the home garden as it is of the best eating quality. 



Chesapeake does best on a rich springy soil where, with good cultivation, will make 



a good, well spaced, fruiting bed and if you have this kind of soil you need not hesitate 



to plant it for it will prove to be one of your best money makers. 



Q ^ f^ ]) Y -^ fancy extra late shipping variety that is very extensively grown in 

 some sections and usually brings top prices for the quality of the Gandy 

 is known in every market throughout the country. Makes plants freely but should be 

 grown on black springy soil as it needs plenty of moisture at fruiting time. The berries 

 are of large size, very firm, being one of our best shippers and will not spoil if picking 

 is neglected for a day or two ; are bright red in color, handsome in appearance and of 

 excellent flavor. 



L U P T O N ^^ fancy late shipping variety that always bring top prices on account 

 of its large size and handsome appearance being almost as large and 

 handsome as Chesapeake. The plants are good bedders making a better fruiting bed than 

 Chesapeake and if your land does not suit Chesapeake would suggest planting Lupton. 

 'J'he berries are large and handsome, very unfiorm in size and shape; color a rich shiny 

 red all over, no green tips, with a large green 

 calyx that adds much to its beauty ; very firm, 

 making an extra good shij>i)er and for this rea- 

 son is a money-maker. Not recommended for 

 the home garden, but a fancy late variety for 

 long distance shipping. 



PEARL ^^ fancy extra late variety be- 

 ginning to ripen just after Gandy. 

 which it resembles but will probably do better 

 on the lighter soils if they are rich ; but like 

 Gandy needs low springy soil to do its best. It 

 blossoms late and often escapes the late frosts, 

 making it desiral)le for frosty locations. The 

 berries are large, dark red. firm and a good 

 shipper. The plants are medium in size, but 

 vigorous growers, making plenty of plants for 

 a good fruiting l)ed, in fact makes plants so 

 freely should l)e kept thinned for best results. 

 Pearl is the variety to plant if you wish to ex- 

 tend the strawberry season for a day or two or 

 have a market for fancy late berries.
