VERY LATE VARIETIES 



GANDY Long recognized as the leading extra late berry, fruit is medium large, firm and 

 attractive, slightly acid. Very productive under favorable conditions. For those 

 who have moist springy soil it is a profitable variety. Should be well fertilized for best results. 

 Blooms very late, escaping late frosts. Plants vigorous and good plant makers, thinning ne- 

 cessary on very rich soil. 



PEARL "^^ ^ whole, this variety is very similar to Gandy. Both are of the same season. 

 Pearl is slightly more vigorous and productive. The fruit too, is very similar, aver- 

 aging fairly large, light red, round conic, very uniform, flavor slightly acid but not enough to 

 be objectionable. As is true of all very late berries it is always best to plant them on springy, 

 moist soil. For best results Pearl should be well fertilized in the spring before growth starts 

 in order that they may mature their whole crop of fruit. A fertilizer containing a liberal 

 amount of Phosphoric Acid and Nitrogen and little or no Potash, is our recommendation. As 

 Pearl is a prolific plant maker, thinning is sometimes advisable when planted on a rich soil or 

 weather conditions are very favorable.

 Mr. Easterday certainly has promise of a fine crop of Berries in 1937. 



Gentlemen: Northampton Co., Penna., Oct. 8, 1936. 



Enclosed find pictures of one of my strawberry fields. These plants were purchased from you in 

 March and planted at once. AVe have had a very dry summer but they came through in good shape. 

 This was my first order from you but you will furnish all my plants in the future. I sell most of my 

 berries at my roadside stand. My customers all want fancy berries and I try to give them to them. 



Yours truly, Mr. Barton Easterday.
