GANDY. Prolific, Firm 
Very Late. Perfect Flowering. 
Gandy is a very late variety. Very popular throughout the 
northern United States, tl begins ripening at the time most varie¬ 
ties are gone. It is a very popular commercial variety, and is used 
extensively, as a home variety, for canning and dessert purposes. 
The berry is large. The color is deep crimson, with red flesh. It 
is a prolific plant maker. Gandy succeeds better when planted in 
clay or heavy soils; there it produces large crops of highly attract¬ 
ive berries. 
We have been careful in our selection of Gandy plants. We 
are in a position to supply 100% true to name Gandy plants, which 
have often been difficult to obtain.

Extra Late. Perfect Flowering. 
The latest variety of value known to us. It is a prolific plant 
maker, and a profuse bearer of firm, light red berries. The flavor 
is highly acid, and we cannot recommend it to those who dislike 
an acid berry. It is an excellent shipper, and usually brings high 
prices, as other varieties are off the market when it goes in. Do 
not allow it to make too many plants in the bed, and it will produce 
a large crop of highly attractive berries.
