Chesapeake, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. We take especial pleasure in 
adding to our list of varieties this season the 
Chesapeake, which in all sections where it has 
been grown for several seasons ranks among the 
best of the late varieties. One enthusiastic East- 
ern grower wrote us that he considered it the 
best variety ever grown. In size the fruit is very 
large and, because of its form, is naturally com- 
pared with the Gandy, which it is said to excel 
in this respect. One grower declares it bears 
more fruit on single stems than any other variety, 
and that it is more productive, firmer, of better 
quality and with fewer green tips than the Gan- 
dy. Although we have not fruited this variety 
sufficiently long to speak of our own knowledge 
concerning its qualities, we can say for it that 
no other variety originated during the last two 
or three years has received such high praise from 
commercial growers as has the Chesapeake, and 
we very much desire that every customer shall 
set a sufficient number of the Kellogg strain of 
Chesapeake this season to give it a thorough 
trial, confidently believing it is destined to take 
a leading place among the higher-grade varieties.

ever saw. Thanks for your promptness. "

Elmira, Feb. 25, 1909. "I received from you 
two years ago this spring 500 plants each of 
Senator Dunlap, Brandywine and Bederwood and 
had a fine crop last season— 1365 quarts; and they 
were the finest berries in the city."

Wahpeton, Nov. 27, 1908. "In the spring of 
1906 I got 750 of Kellogg's Thoroughbred plants. 
In the spring of 1907 I purchased 2000 more and 
in the spring of 1908 I set more than 2000 plants 
that I had propagated from those thoroughbreds. 
I now have one and one-half acres in strawber- 
ries, and they are the talk of the town. I sold 
more than 1000 boxes this year and got 20 cents 
a box for more than two-thirds of ttiem and 15 
Sample, P. (Female) 
LATE. Pistillate. Commercial growers every- 
where find this great variety of highest value, 
and there is an increasing demand for it in the 
home garden as well. It is easily one of the 
most attractive of the late varieties, producing 
berries not only very late, but yielding immense 
quantities of them. The individual berries are 
of great size. As the illustration indicates. Sam- 
ple is of the perfect type. In flavor it is most 
delicious and the fruit is rich and filled with juice. 
As the berries ripen the seeds turn red and so 
closely resemble the color of the berry itself as 
to be almost invisible. Stem and calyx are small 
and remain a bright green for days after the fruit 
has been picked. Not only is it one of the lead- 
ing shippers, but it is a general favorite for can- 
ning purposes, ranking among the leading table 
berries as well. It is famous for its habit of 
coloring a certain percentage of berries each day 
until the season is over, insuring a long fruiting 
period. This is the fourteenth year we have of- 
fered this variety to our patrons. 
cents a box for the last picking. My largest 
berries measured five and five-eighths inches in 
circumference. They were Prides of Michigan. 
Nothing but Kellogg's Thoroughbreds for me."

Put-in-Bay, July 31, 1909. "Although every 
one has told me something different to do with 
the thoroughbreds I bought from you, I have 
followed your advice only, and have done just 
what you told me to do, with the result that my 
plants, set out in April, are the wonder of the 
whole island and my greatest delight. I suppose 
ou have seen such plants, but I never have— so 
ig and strong and splendid— they are the finest 
things on our beautiful place!" 
Mrs. Edith Lockwood. 
Randolph, Feb. 4, 1909. "All who have seen 
my plants when in blossom and also in bearing 
say they never saw the like. Have had as high 
as twenty crowns to a plant, and last summer
