One of the Real Live Monarchs 
Gibson — A Perfect Midseason Sort 
Since the introduction of this wonderful variety we have been watching it 
very carefully and we can now say, that of all the sorts which we have seen in 
fruiting it has no equal. It has been tested in all sections of the country and is 
a proven success wherever tried and our own experience justifies us in saying 
that without a doubt it will produce 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 remark- 
able variety is that it will hold its size until the very end of the picking season. 
This we believe is due to the extra large healthy plant which this sort pro- 
duces, having a very long root system and being almost immune 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 more of the Gibson than any other one variety and this in 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 exceptionally 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.
