SETTING PLANTS 
Above is the equipment used in setting large acreage of strawberry plants on 
Brittingham’s farms, and some of the same fine experienced men that have been rendering 
their service for several years. 
Chesapeake 
Chesapeake is a good late variety 
producing fine quality dark red berries, 
which are delicious. The Chesapeake 
stands out as a very good shipping 
berry. One of the most popular mid- 
season varieties. 
Fairfax 
An early variety and an old favorite 
for home and market gardening be- 
cause of its excellent sweet flavor re- 
quiring little or no sugar. It is a good 
plant maker and a heavy yielder of 
light red berries firm enough for ship- 
ping purposes though turns somewhat 
darker in the fully ripe stage. Can be 
grown in any Premier producing sec- 
tion. 
Blakemore 
Blakemore is one of the earliest solid 
berries on the market, with great ship- 
ping qualities. 
Is_ generally known to withstand 
more hardship in neglect of picking 
than any other variety. 
12 
Dorsett 
An early variety of vigorous growth. 
The berries are of medium light red 
color and its firmness is equal to that 
of Premier. Dorsett does not thrive as 
well in the Southern States as the ber- 
ries are apt to be small under dry con- 
ditions. 
Lupton 
A very good late variety, making a 
nice bed and a heavy yielder of large, 
attractive, firm berries excellent for 
shipping purposes, therefore a money 
maker. Can be grown in most any 
Northern berry producing area and as 
far South as Maryland. 
Big Joe 
Big Joe is a popular midseason varie- 
ty mostly suitable for planting in any 
section from Maryland northward. It 
is a vigorous grower and under normal 
conditions, is a heavy producer of large 
light red berries which are firm enough 
for long distance shipping.
