O SATISFY the demands of 

 customers throughout the 

 country who desired 

 berry that would fruit long after 

 other varieties were through, and in 

 addition, be a good producer, we made rigid plant selection 

 on the late Gandy, and also sought new varieties. Xtralate, 

 our new find, has been tested on our trial grounds for 

 the past six years, and has proven itself one of the latest 

 and heaviest fruiting varieties on the market. Our stock 

 of Xtralate is larger than last year, and we have reduced 

 the price, making it within the reach of all desiring a 

 profitable late variety. If you are in need of an extra late 

 berry, try Xtralate this year on our money-back guarantee. 

 Your money will be refunded if you are not entirely sat- 

 isfied with the results. We make this guarantee because 

 we have confidence in Xtralate, as have hundreds of cus- 

 tomers who have seen this plant laden with the choicest 

 fruit at harvest time. You too will say that Xtralate is the 

 best very late variety you have ever seen growing. 

 As Xtralate is an imperfect flowering variety, we recom- 

 mend setting every two rows alternate thru the planting 

 with Catskill-Townking or Chesapeake for polinizing.

GANDY * A ^**^ 



Extra Late Variety 



THE ORIGINAL GANDY was originated in 

 New Jersey several years ago. and has been 

 since successfully g'rown in practically all 

 berry growing sections. The quality, size, and shipping 

 qualities of Gandy have met with the highest approval 

 of berry growers, but its production was not as good as it 

 should "be. However, we remedied the situation by select- 

 ing our heaviest producing plants and using them for 

 propagating stock: and as a result, more than doubled 

 the quality of fruit in a few years' time. The news of 

 our success in building such a heavy producing strain of 

 Gandy has spread throughout the country, and today 

 our verv extensive planting of this fruit which we I 

 tain to "fill our orders, is one of the largest in the United 

 States. The fruit of Gandy is of excellent quality, large 

 to extra-large in size: it is a bright red berry with 

 double green caps, and is an excellent shipper. It us 

 ripens about two weeks after Premier and Dorsett. 



GENTLEMEN: Barnstable County. II 



Reserve for me 11.000 of your 

 plants. Will give shipping instructions later I made 

 more monev from mv Gandy planting last year than
