SAMPLE. (Per.) 
Another old variety that does not seem to lose in popularity and is still 
largely planted by commercial growers in many sections, it is one of the best 
mid-season to late varieties grown. It is noted for its large fruit and immense 
productiveness. The plants are good growers, large and heavy-rooted and all 
are loaded with large berries that hold their size to the last picking. The fruit 
is roundish, conical, dark red, colors all over at once and is firm. 
CHESAPEAKE. (Per.) 
If you have a soil that is adapted to the Chesapeake it is without a doubt 
one of the most profitable of its season ever introduced. Its only fault is that 
it is sometimes difficult to get good plant beds on some soils. However, the 
fruit is so large that it doesn’t require a great number of plants to produce an 
enormous quantity of fruit as all of the fruit the plants set grows to the largest 
size. Chesapeake plants are perfectly healthy, large and deep-rooted. The 
plants bloom very late and are seldom injured by late frosts. The fruit is of the 
largest size, handsome in appearance, of the finest quality and firm enough to 
carry well to distant markets where it always sells for the highest market price. 
LUPTON. (Per.) 
This is a strictly fancy variety and while the quality is not the best the 
berries are so large and of such handsome appearance they always sell well. 
Unlike most late varieties which require a stiff, or black loamy soil for best 
results many customers say it does fully as well on lighter soils. It ripens a few 
days earlier than Gandy of which it is a seedling and lasts fully as long and will 
produce twice as many quarts per acre as that well-known variety. It is one 
of the best money makers of its season for the grower and is becoming more 
popular each season in many sections. Under most conditions you can depend 
on this to make plenty of plants for a good fruiting bed, and to produce an 
excellent crop of fruit. If your soil is not adapted to Chesapeake and you want 
a variety which ripens with it give Lupton a trial. 
KELLOGG’S BIG LATE. (Imp.) 
In some sections this is one of the best late pistillate varieties. It is a 
splendid grower in any soil and in all sections, free from rust and the bright 
glossy green foliage is easily told from other varieties. For best results do not 
plant it in very light soil for it fruits much better in stiff or black loamy soil. 
It ranks with the most productive, the berries average large in size, bright 
glossy red, firm and of excellent quality. The beautifully shaped berries with a 
bright glossy red surface and large green cap make Big Late sell for fancy prices.
