CHESAPEAKE 
One of our Best Late Varie- 
ties. Always Sells Well. 
CHESAPEAKE (Per) 
A very popular variety with most all strawberry growers on account of 
its many good qualities and justly deserves this popularity for it is one of 
the best, if not the best, late variety. Its only drawback being that it does 
not make plants freely which accounts for the plants being higher in price 
than most varieties and do not know as there will ever be an over production 
of them. Chesapeake does best in rich springy soil, where it will make 
enough plants for a good fruiting bed, and if you have this kind of soil it 
will prove to be one of your best money makers. The plants are large size, 
dark green in color, very vigorous and healthy, no rust or disease of any 
kind. Fruit uniformly large and holds its size well up to the last, of beauti- 
ful appearance, ripens evenly without green tips, firm, being one of our best 
shippers, and of high quality. Always sells for top prices. Growers on the 
east side of our county, just a few miles from here, make more money on 
Chesapeake than from any other variety. It is nothing unusual for them 
to receive $2.00 or $3.00 more per crate for Chesapeake than for any other 
variety of same season except possibly Gandy. Fine for home garden as it 
is of best eating quality. Well known and extensively planted wherever 
Strawberries are grown. I have a good supply of true to name Chesapeake 
plants for this season and offering them as reasonable as I can and if you 
have land that will suit them would recommend planting some of them. 
You will be glad you did.
