GIBSON 
A Perfect Midseason Sort 
Since the introduction of this wonderful 
variety we have been watching this sort 
very carefully and we can now say, that 
of all the sorts which we have seen in fruit- 
ing it has no equal. It has been tested in 
all sections of the country and is a proven 
success wherever tried and our own ex- 
perience justifies us in saying that without 
a doubt as a midseason variety it will pro- 
duce twice the berries of any other sort. 
As a drought resister it is a wonder. Has 
an exceptionally fine color and bears extra 
large fine flavored fruit. Perhaps one of 
the best points of this remarkable variety 
is that it will hold its size until the very 
end of the picking season. This we be- 
lieve is due to the extra large healthy plant 
which this sort produces, having a very 
long root system and being almost im- 
mune from diseases. Whether you grow 
strawberries for market or home use we 
recommend the Gibson and know that you 
will be more than satisfied with both the 
quantity and quality of berries, which this 
extraordinary sort will produce for you. 
We sell perhaps more of the Gibson 
than any other one variety and this itself 
is the best recommendation that we can 
give it. In our section here the Bridgman 
Fruit Growers Association demand that 
their growers set this sort and we believe 
that we have over 500 acres of this berry 
grown around and near us at present. The 
plant is perfect flowering and is an excep- 
tionally fine poUenizer, making it a good 
one to set with other imperfect varieties. 
For big profits, set the Gibson. It is a 
wonderful shipper and will outsell almost 
any other variety. We recommend it to 
you, for we want all our friends to get in 
on this good thing and don't forget to 
place your order early for not all growers 
will be able to get them this year.
