BRIDGMAN NURSERY COMPANY. BRIDGMAN, MICHIGAN 
GIBSON (Per). A wonderful Strawberry. 
Gibson commences to bear with Senator Dun- 
lap, Warfield. etc., owing to its productiveness 
it continues till quite late, so we class it with 
our medium late varieties. It is a very strong 
grower, with long roots that withstand dry 
weather; has plenty of dark green foliage to 
protect its enormous crops of fruit from the di- 
rect rays of the sun. 
The Gibson, the berry that is bound to make 
Bridgman as famous as the automobile has 
made Detroit; real genuine Gibson can only be 
found here, its home and origin. It should by 
all means be in every collection and is the best 
berry before the American peojjle today. Once 
grown always grown. One of the reasons is 
that it holds its size; the last berry is just as 
large as the first. One young lady picked dur- 
ing the past summer in ten hours 368 quarts. 
This will give you an idea as to its size and the 
ease with which it came off the vines. It is a 
good shipper and a good firm berry and uni- 
form in size. The berry that everyone will 
plant when known. It is but a few years since 
its introduction and nearly every order has Gib- 
son in it. 
The vines are loaded with berries. You will 
hardly understand how the plants can produce 
such quantities of fruit. 
Berry is extra large. One of our very largest 
strawberries. 
Beautiful dark glossy red. The flesh of the 
berry is read clear through. Calyx bright green, 
adding to its beauty and market value. 
Flavor fine; a perfect table and canning 
berry and owing to its tough skin is one of the 
very best shipping varieties. 
Fruit stems strong and upright. -This keeps 
the fruit clean and easy to find and pick. 
The Gibson has been grown extensively in 
this county for several years, and is one of the 
most profitable commercial strawberries in the 
great "Fruit Belt." Will produce 850 cases on 
an acre. Growers are setting Gibson in large lots. 
r 
GLiEN MARY (Bisex). A well known va- 
riety, bright green foliage, upright grower. The 
Glen Mary is semi-staminate. Berries are big, 
dark red beauties with prominent seeds of 
bright yellow; the meat is rich and juicy, crim- 
son in color. It is very popular for fancy mar- 
ket. 
SAMPLE (Imp.) Season very late. The 
Sample Strawberry is admired by everyone 
who has seen it. Berry is of large size and fine 
quality; quite firm; continues a long time in 
fruit; the berries are large to the last. Colors 
all over at once. Foliage perfect, fruit perfect. 
Sample is one of our best late strawberries. 
STEVENS' li.ATE CHAMPION (Per). This 
new late variety seems to do well wherever test- 
ed. Very large, fine flavored, bright color, good 
shipper, a fine bed maker, a heavy yielder, fine 
foliage. It ripens later than the (Sandy. It cer- 
tainly is a strong and healthy grower, and a 
prolific bearer. 
WARFIELD (Imp.) One of the oldest, best 
known varieties of strawberries grown, and It 
still has many staunch friends scattered every- 
where, who have grown it regularly and find it 
one of the best. It is a good sized berry, dark 
color, fine flavor, very productive. Warfleld 
grows particularly well on heavy soils, a clay 
soil seems to be its home. Wherever you offer 
Warfleld berries for sale you have no trouble in 
getting customers. For canning purposes it has 
no superior. 
WM. BELT (Per.) A very fancy berry; in 
size it is all that one can ask, of the very finest 
flavor, beautiful bright red color, very prolific, 
plant free grower. Has nice green calyx and 
the berry, which is a fire red, has an extra blush 
at its tip, the color radiating makes it one that 
you will notice among the best. A most tempt- 
ing and delicious berry.
