GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

CHESAPEAKE. MALE OR BISEXUAL - LATE 
prVE years afro we offered for the first time this remarkably 
* fine late bisexual, and few varieties have grown in popu- 
lar favor more rapidly, and the demand is practically universal. 
As its name indicates, it is a Maryland origination, and for a 
long time its virtues were known only to the people of the 
Atlantic seaboard. Now it is universally known and admired 
for the large size of its fruit, its heavy yielding powers, its 
fine flavor, which is similar to that of Wm. Belt, and because 
of the rust-proof quality of its foliage. Another quality 
which is particularly reported on by our customers is its abil- 
ity to withstand frost. In a recent season, when frosts of 
great severity came on at an early date, Chesapeake was the 
only variety that remained unaffected. Chesapeake ranks 
among the greatest of the late varieties. Grown at Three 
Rivers and Twin Falls.

They are doing finely. I had the ground in fine shape for

lost one or two. Your count over-ran some. I could afford to 
The Real "Wonderberry" 
Doss Brittain in Farm and Fireside. Oct. II, 1913 
THE real "wonderberry" has at last been discovered. It is 
a modest plant growing from six to eight inches high and 
probably producing more and larger fruit for the size and 
weight of the plant than any other in domestic use, except 
possibly the pumpkin. The fruit is deep crimson in color, 
with small seeds that are unnoticeable. As to flavor, this real 
"wonderberry" may be described as the berry with electrical 
attachments. There is no fruit in the world which compares 
with it in the number of people it will affect pleasantly through 
the sense of taste. It is universally liked, or has been wher- 
ever tried. The fruit is a large berry, some specimens being 
large enough to fill an ordinary teacup. 
Careful investigation shows that anyone who knows how to 
grow onions or can learn how to set out tomato-plants can 
grow this "wonderberry" successfully, in almost any climate 
and nearly any soil. The plant produces wonderful crops of 
the most delicious fruit known to man. One woman produced 
sixty-five gallons of these berries from one hundred plants: 
another, eighty-five gallons from one hundred plants. And 
these were no't world's records either. They are only a little 
above the frequent performances of those who have under- 
taken the culture of this wonderful berry. 
Another feature that recommends this fruit is the varied 
ways in which it may be prepared. It is delicious unprepared. 
It makes excellent pies, preserves and jellies, and for short- 
cakes it is without a peer in the world. 
This real "wonderberry" is ordinarily known as the straw- 
berry, and the real wonder about it all is that more people do 
not know about it and grow it in their gardens. A small space 
fifteen feet square has been known to produce over one hun- 
dred quarts of fruit. Another wonder is that a fruit that has 
been so long in cultivation is neglected by people who are 
chasing rainbows in the form of a little purple-fruited degen- 
erate that produces about half a dozen berries smaller than 
buckshot and about as useful for human food. There is only 
one reason why strawberries are not grown in every garden, 
and that is those who own strawberryless gardens do not under- 
stand the strawberry. Chase a fad only after it becomesa fact.
