keeper. Berries not firm.

ries; brings a premium over other varieties. Fruit large

stood the test of time. Grow on heavy sandy soil and

ing. It is a very good shipping variety. The berries

Late Varieties 
CHESAPEAKE (Per.). This one is a Dandy. It is 
sometimes spoken of as the “aristocrat” of the straw¬ 
berries. It will not stand abuse, but given good condi¬ 
tions and good care it is a worthy running mate for 
the Premier. A favorite in the east. It has a beautiful 
appearance, which makes it tempting to prospective 
buyers, it has a delicious flavor, so the purchaser will 
buy again. Berries are very large, hold size well to the 
end of the season. They are fine for shipping and com¬ 
mand a better price than other varieties. The one 
weakness is that sometimes it does not produce plants 
enough for a good fruiting row. This is why many 
nurseries do not handle the Chesepeake. The foliage 
keeps healthy. It is almost frostproof, and keeps right 
on producing blossoms after some have been killed. It 
is a late variety. If you are an experienced grower 
try some of the Chesapeake. 
AROMA (Per.). This is a popular shipping berry, grown 
in many sections, especially in the Ohio river region 
and Ozark district, where it does better than in Wis¬ 
consin. It ripens early and late, lengthening your ber¬ 
ry season. Color and flavor hold well after cooking. 
Medium size berries. We handle this variety for those 
who know its merits in a locality where it is adapted. 
BRANDYWINE (Per.). The valuable late strawberry, 
especially adapted to hom e use and canning because 
of a dark red color and fine flavor. It is well shaped, 
of good quality and size. Is strongly staminate making 
it an excellent variety for mating with imperfect flow¬ 
ering sorts. This variety is grown extensively.
