Fancy Chesapeake berries on the farm of Miles Rausch, Union Co., N matures a berry and the last ones are almost as large as the first. The flesh is very firm in texture and the berries will keep for many days in perfect condition, so that altogether it is an ideal berry for home use, for local market, or for distant shipment. Often new berries are reported to "sell as well as the Chesapeake," the inference being that no higher recommendation was necessary.
