CHESAPEAKE 
LATE 
VARIETIES 
CHESAPEAKE. The aristocrat of strawberries when given good 
care and planted on good soil. It will not stand abuse, seeming to do 
best in dark, loamy soil and heavier soils where there is plenty of 
moisture. It will thrive on well-filed new land. Given these condi¬ 
tions, you will find it the most profitable berry to grow. Like the 
Premier, it is about frost-proof and bears abundantly, the plants hav¬ 
ing large, healthy foliage. These points of merit enable it to com¬ 
mand the highest price possible for berries. The berry is very firm, 
so you can ship it to distant markets. You will always be able to 
command the top of the market with well grown Chesapeake berries.
