First Season. 4. Am. Card. 10:342. 1889. 



The outstanding qualities of Gandy are handsome, deep red, firm fruits of very good 

 quality, although the variety finds favor in many localities because of its late season, the 

 fruits reaching the market the last of their kind. The plants are partial as to soils and 

 thrive best in heavy rather than light soils. The fruits hold their color when canned very 

 well, but are a little too acid for a prime canned product. The variety is grown more or less 

 wherever strawberries are cultivated in the United States. Gandy was originated in 1885 

 by W. S. Gandy, Newport, New Jersey, as a cross between Jersey Queen and Glendale; 

 introduced in 1888; added to the fruit list of the American Pomological Society in 1889.

 leaves of medium size, thick, light green, dull, rugose. Flowers late, variable in size; 

 petals 6-8, small; stamens very few to many; receptacle large. Fruit very late, holds up 

 well in size; fruit-stems variable in length, thick, semi-erect to erect; pedicels short, slender; 

 calyx large, raised, leafy, easily detached, well colored; sepals long, broad; berries large, 

 round-conic; apex very obtuse; color light red at first, deepening to dark, rather dull red
