Strawberry Plants of Quality 7 
CHESAPEAKE (Per) 
A very popular late variety on account of its size, handsome appear- 
ance, fine flavor and excellent shipping qualities. Healthy, productive and 
profitable. Plants are large size, very vigorous and healthy, no rust or 
disease of any kind. Fruit uniformly large and holds its size well up 
to the last, of beautiful appearance, ripens evenly without green tips, firm, 
being one of our best shippers and of high quality. Always sells for top 
prices. 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. 
PEARL (Per) 
Pearl has been described as the latest berry, but with us is about same 
season as Gandy, only one or two days later. It is a better home garden 
berry than Gandy and will probably do better on the lighter soils if they 
are rich. It blossoms late and often escapes the late frosts, making it de- 
sirable for frosty locations. The berries are large, dark red, firm and a 
good shipper. The plants are medium size and good plant makers, making 
plenty of plants for a good bed. For the last three years I have sold out 
on Pearl but this year I am glad to say I have the best supply of plants I 
ever had and would advise planting some this year if you have a market 
for fancy late berries. 
GANDY (Per) 
A fancy late shipping variety that is very extensively grown in some 
sections and usually brings top prices. Makes plants freely but should 
be grown on black springy soil for best results. The berries are of large 
size, very firm, bright red in color, handsome in appearance and of ex- 
cellent flavor. 
LUPTON (Per) 
A fancy late variety and, while the flavor is not the best, because of 
its size and handsome appearance, it always brings top prices. A strong, 
healthy grower, except that it rusts in some sections, especially during wet 
seasons. Makes plants freely and will do well on most any soil. Berries 
are large and handsome, very uniform 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 shipper and for the above 
reason is a money-maker. Not recommended for the home garden, but a 
fancy late variety for long-distance shipping. If your land does not suit 
Chesapeake try Lupton. I have a good supply of plants that I am sure will 
please you.

Dear Sir: I am writing pretty late, but I wanted to let you know I received 
the strawberry plants in good shape and they are living fine and have just 
started to grow. We have a beautiful patch from the plants we got from 
you last year (Wm. Belts), they are loaded with berries.

Schuylkill Co., Pa., March 2rd, 1932. 
Dear Sir: I have purchased my plants from you for a number of years 
and have always been well pleased with the plants. The plants that I pur- 
chased from you last year were some of the finest plants I have ever pur- 
chased. Hoping that this year’s plants may be as fine as those have been 
in the past and wishing you the best of success in your business, I am, 
Samuel F. Stump.
