5 Popular Berries ^kluMcuuf, yeasu 
BELLMAR - BIG JOE - CHESAPEAKE - GEM - LUPTON LATE 
Chesapeake 
(Perfect). Late. Ripens a little earlier than 
Gandy. Has a beautiful appearance. Size 
extra large, even in shape and uniform. We have grown Chesa¬ 
peake commercially for a number of years, and it will carry to the 
market egually as well as any variety we know of, and that means 
much to the fruit grower because unless the berries arrive in the 
market in good condition and appear well, receipts are not as much 
as is true of other varieties that do carry well. Plants are healthy, 
dark green in color, large and vigorous. A very strong grower but 
a shy plant maker. A very good variety, well known and exten¬ 
sively planted. 
(Everbearing). Fruit is reasonably large, of rich, brilliant 
color, calyx good, and it produces a crop of berries excell¬ 
ing other everbearing sorts on our famous strawberry soil here in 
our own nurseries on the peninsula. Gem is by far the greatest 
plant maker of all the everbearing varieties we have ever propa¬ 
gated. Plants are sturdy and strong, but not nearly so large as 
Mastodon and other varieties which do not produce an abundance 
of new plants. 
GEM— 
A real June-to-frost plant maker, 
recommended for general use. 
CHESAPEAKE— 
The big favorite in the 
eastern states. 
Lupton Late 
(Perfect). In many respects it is quite like 
Gandy, though far more prolific, 
bearing a few days ahead of Gandy. Berries large, 
bluntly conical; its double, dark green cap sets the fruit 
off wonderfully which causes an immediate lasting de¬ 
mand for them when 
placed on the market. 
Produces an abund¬ 
ance of large, bright, 
flame - colored berries 
with good shipping 
qualities. 
LUPTON LATE— 
Recommended for Atlantic 
Coast States.
