Gandy 
BIG LATE. This is one of the best growers; makes a heavy bed of large 
stocky plants, with long fibrous roots that go down for the moisture; and with 
a light color somewhat resembling Haverland. The. quality is among the 
very best; and for that reason it should sell well, for fruit growers have to 
recognize that the consuming public is constantly growing more critical of the 
quality of the fruit it buys. It is also very nearly perfectly rust proof; mak¬ 
ing it valuable during a wet season. The berries average large in size; are 
a bright glossy red with prominent seeds, and almost all are perfect in shape. 
It has a full green cap that adds to its attractiveness when crated. It is one 
of our best shippers and should therefore become valuable for either home or 
distant market. It is medium late and therefore cannot take the place of 
Gandy if you want a very late kind, but it is a great berry of its season. 
BURGESS. From Alabama and a seedling of Aroma. It is the claim 
of the originator that it is superior to that justly famous variety. If that be 
true, it is safe to say that we shall hear of Burgess for a long time to come. 
It is a good grower and we advise all our friends to give it a trial. The 
berries are very beautiful and firm and it is productive. 
DUNLAP. Makes more plants than any other we grow, and if allowed 
to get too thick the berries are generally small, but when properly thinned, 
you find it hard to get a berry that will produce more nice market berries 
than Dunlap. The fruit is average in size and perfect in shape and ships well 
but the great point with Dunlap is that it may be depended upon to grow well 
and boar well everywhere and every time., even during a record-breaking 
drought. Ripens with the very earliest midseason berries and matures its 
crop rapidly. Not as popular as it once was. Should be thinned for best 
results. 
Gentlemen: Montgomery C., Pa. 
Plants arrived in good order and are looking very well. 
Sincerely, Carl Graser.
