ALLEN’S BOOK OF BERRIES—1922 
drought resisters. Berries are uniformly large, with prominent 
yellow seeds and an attractive bright green cap, altogether, mak¬ 
ing Chesapeake one of the most beautiful and attractive berries 
in the package that we have ever seen. 
The berries are unexcelled in quality. The plants set a good 
crop and every blossom matures a berry, the last ones being just 
as large as the first. The flesh is very firm in texture and the 
berries will keep for many days in excellent condition, so that 
altogether it is an ideal berry for home use, for local market, 
or for distant shipment. One of the most valuable features of 
the Chesapeake, especially in the North, is that the blossoms don’t 
start out until quite late, which makes it practically frost-proof. 
Try as we would we have rarely been able to grow enough 
Chesapeake to supply the demand. Despite of the fact that the 
plants will never be cheap, as compared with other varieties 
because they do not make plants freely, those who know Chesa¬ 
peake will have it. Where it grows well, no other variety can 
replace it. Price list page 23. 
Gandy. One of the best known of all strawberries. For best 
results, it should be planted in black swamp land, or in springy 
land with some clay in its makeup. Never plant Gandy in dry, 
sandy soil. Gandy has been and still is a great favorite on the 
market. It is not a heavy producer, but the berries it does pro¬ 
duce are uniformly large in size, brilliant in color and have a 
large, bright green cap, which makes the berries very beautiful 
and attractive. We noticed in some of the Northern markets, 
Gandy quoted at 25c. to 40c. per quart wholesale, nearly all sea- 
eon, bringing more than almost any other varieties quoted. This 
fact is going to make a b:g demand for Gandy, and if you want 
some of this variety, get your order placed early.
