J. H. Shivers Plant Farms, Allen, Maryland 
GANDY. One of the leading late kinds and by some still con¬ 
sidered the best. The only trouble is, that on dry soils or in a very 
dry season it cannot be depended on to bear well. Of extra shipping 
and selling qualities, it is still the leading market berry for late in 
some large berry producing centers. A free plant maker and good 
grower generally, yet sometimes failing in vigor. 
GIBSON (Parsons’ Beauty). Plants very productive, berries very 
good in quality and excellent for canning. I do not recommend it, 
however, except for a moist, swampy soil of fair fertility; but when 
given that, it is one of the greatest berries ever grown, provided the 
season is not too wet at picking time. If there is much rain when they 
are ripening they are sure to rot badly. 
SAMPLE. Ripens in midseason about the same time as Aroma 
and Big Joe, and there is none that holds up better in size to the end 
of the season. Anyone wanting to plant main crop berries would do 
well to include Sample in their list. It is reliable, especially in Penn¬ 
sylvania and the Middle West. Big Joe and Sample make a great pair. 
Perry Co., Pa., April 9, 1934. Please send me the Unclosed order 
about May 1st. I bought plants from you last year and I liked them 
very well. Joseph P. Jones. 
Mr. Clarence F. Fisher of Pa., says: Please let me know if you 
have any more strawberry plants to sell and the price. Mr. Longen- 
ecker said he had bought plants of you. I would be much pleased if 
you can supply me with the same kind of plants he got. It is getting 
late but I will take a chance on them. June 1, 1933.

Muskingum Co., Ohio, April 12, 1934. Received shipment of straw¬ 
berry plants today and will say they were as fine as I ever bought 
anywhere and were the best packed that I ever saw. Many thanks 
for your promptness and fine plants. I will certainly recommend you 
to any one. W. E. Leasure. 
Norfolk Co., Va., March 27, 1934. Received plants in fine shape and I

now. Harry E. May.
