GIBSON 
The Universal Favorite 
This wonderful variety originated in 
this county several years ago. It is fast 
becoming the leader wherever strawber- 
ries are grown. The best proof we have 
to offer of its exceptional value lies in 
the fact that our customers order them in 
larger quantities every year, and are dis- 
carding other varieties, in favor of the Gibson. 
We cannot say too much in favor of this wonderful 
strawberry as it seems to possess every requirement 
that a universal favorite should have. 
It has no preference for soils or climatic conditions, 
is a very hardy grower, and produces its custotnary 
load of fruit every season regardless of conditions. 
Gibson commences to bear with Dunlap and other 
midseason varieties but owing to its wonderful produc- 
tive ability, continues to bear long after other mid- 
season, sorts. 
One feature of this variety, and hard to find in a lot 
of others, is the fact that every berry reaches a large 
size and ripens evenly. 
The fruit cannot be surpassed for flavor and quality, 
making it equally desirable for home use or market. 
A fine canning berry as it retains its color, firmness and 
delicious flavor throughout the winter. 
You can safely plant a large acreage of Gibson. You 
will be assured of the top price as canning factories 
pay a premium for Gibson. 
In plant growth it cannot be equaled, as it is a strong 
healthy plant, and produces an ideal fruiting row. It is 
entirely free from rust and other diseases. 
Gibson is truly a wonderful variety and will make 
you more crates and more dollars per acre than the Dunlap. We have 
never known of a crop failure with Gibson, and our customers re- 
port the same. We have received hundreds of letters from all over 
the country telling of the Big Yields and Big Profits made by Gibson. 
The fruit is immense — unsurpassed in quality, aj^arance or flavor. 
It is equally desirable for home use, distant market or local market, 
and will command the very top pricfr anywhere.

There Is a Difference 
Many growers make the claim that Gibson and the old Pocomoke variety 
are the same thing. We claim there IS A DIFFERENCE. Berries of the 
Gibson are larger, more uniform in shape, and larger in yield. We discarded 
the Pocomoke years ago. Send us your order for Gibson this year. We will 
convince you that it is a better berry in every respect'.
