Gandy: the best late. 
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. It is very nearly perfectly 
rust proof; making it valuable during a wet season. The berries average fair 
in size; are a bright glossy red with prominent seeds. It has a full green cap 
that adds to its attractiveness when crated. It is medium late and therefore 
cannot take the place of Gandy if you want a very late kind. Has an im¬ 
perfect blossom. Use Lupton, Big Joe or Fairfax in ratio of one to four for 
pollenization. We do not recommend it except for a few favorable localities. 
GANDY. For forty years one of the leading late kinds and by some 
still considered 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 extraordinary shipping 
and selling qualities, it is still the leading market berry for late in some berry 
producing centers. A free plant maker and good grower generally, yet 
sometimes failing in vigor. Its remarkable firmness makes it keep on the 
vines longer than almost any kind we know, and it never fails to bring the 
price. For late it is good. Many kinds have challenged its supremacy but 
none as yet altogether dislodged it. Must be planted on moist, rich soil.

Gentlemen: The plants came in due time and are now growing nicely. My 
son ordered from another party and we have not received any plants yet. I 
am sending you another order for 1000 Chesapeake, which I hope you can 
send right away, as I am anxious to get them set, since they are in the same 
patch. Hoping I can get these as promptly as the others, I am, 
Yours truly, W. C. Karsner
