First Quality. The flavor makes you want more berries 
have been sending out new runners continuously 
for the past three months and it looks like they 
would continue to do so until fall." Mr. C. E. 
Schuldt, of Somerset County, Pennsylvania, says: 
“In the spring of 1915 I bought some Chesapeake 
Strawberry plants of you. They have had a pretty 
fair crop this season and people went almost wild 
over them. They think they are the finest and best 
they ever saw." The Geneva, New York, Experi¬ 
ment Station says: “Among the many varieties 
tested on the station grounds Chesapeake stands 
among the few kinds at the top. This variety was 
introduced by Mr. W. F. Allen, Salisbury, 
Maryland, in 1906. Its parentage is un¬ 
known. It is unfortunate that in some sec¬ 
tions plants not true to name are being 
sent out for this variety.” You cannot 
afford to be without this great variety 
and you should get your plants 
from the introducers so that 
you can be sure they will be 
true to name. We have 
a big stock but the de¬ 
mand is enormous, as it 
naturally would be on 
such a variety as this. 
Order early and have 
them shipped when you 
want them. Price, $5 
per 1,000. 
Commonwealth. 
A product of Massachu¬ 
setts and a variety especi¬ 
ally recommended for the 
northern and middle 
states. For best results it 
should be given rich 
soil and high culture. 
It grows fairly well here 
and the berries are of 
good quality, large size, 
and high color. It is well 
worth a trial where high 
culture can be given.

FENDALL. 
berries and lots of them 
this is a variety that will 
give great satisfaction. 
We know of no variety 
that produces a heavier 
crop than Fendall. Fif¬ 
teen thousand quarts per 
acre of Fendall, fruited with Aroma, were reported 
by one of our Indiana customers. The berries are 
large in size; the flesh is rich in color, smooth and 
glossy, and described by some as being “perfectly 
beautiful.” The large caps add to its attractiveness. 
Fendall is a strong grower with luxuriant light green 
foliage. The blossoms are imperfect and should be 
planted with Aroma, Big Joe, Ekey, Three W's, or 
some other good perfect-flowering variety. Fendall, 
like Haverland, is unable to hold up the great 
bunches of fruit off the ground and should be well 
mulched on this account. The berries bring a good 
price on the market and, being such a 
heavy producer, it proves itself a 
money-maker, wherever grown. Price, 
$5 per 1,000.

it one of the promising
