Chesapeake JStAZgZr* 
Because so many growers have planted early va¬ 
rieties exclusively in the past, there is now a heavy 
demand for, and prices paid are much higher on, 
a good late berry. For this reason, foresighted 
planters are turning to Chesapeake as the best 
late Strawberry. 
The large berries of Chesapeake hold 
their size well to the end of the season. 
Flavor is unsurpassed. A leading market va¬ 
riety which sells at highest prices because of 
its lateness, size, quality, firmness and fine 
appearance. Strong, healthy foliage. Prac¬ 
tically frost-proof because of its late bloom¬ 
ing. To obtain best results, grow on rich 
soil or land that is well manured, and give 
good care, and you will have no trouble in 
getting a good fruiting row. 
Premier 
Leading Early Berry 
A standard of excellence with all 
growers, and the earliest worth-while 
Strawberry of the older varieties. A Chesapeake, 
great money-maker, for it yields its fruit Late, 
crop at a time when Strawberries are in 
great demand and sell at fancy prices. 
Premier is as nearly frost-proof as any 
Strawberry can be. It is unusually healthy, be¬ 
ing free from leaf spot and other diseases. Its 
deep, heavy roots enable it to easily withstand dry’ 
weather and mature a full crop of big berries when^ 
many varieties are a complete failure.

flavor.

Gibson, 
Midseason. 
Gibson 
A midseason berry 
that should be includ¬ 
ed in every order. An 
unusually safe variety 
for commercial plant¬ 
ing, inasmuch as it al¬ 
ways produces a big 
crop of large, market¬ 
able berries, seeming 
to thrive in all sorts 
of soils and climates. 
This is a feature hard 
to find in Strawberries, 
and one that makes a 
variety especially val¬ 
uable. The berries are 
large, holding their 
size to the end of the 
season, and are all 
that could be asked 
for in color, flavor, 
firmness and produc¬ 
tiveness. Especially 
good for canning.
