5a du.4. OMtndi, 
and Ouiiame'iA: 
In sending you our 1938 Catalog, it affords 
us the pleasure of expressing our sincere appreci¬ 
ation of your patronage in having made Shivers’ 
Strawberry Plants your choice in the past. 
As happens some of you may have realized 
larger yields than others due to circumstances 
over which we have no control. 
It is our responsibility and purpose, however, 
to guarantee our plants as the finest specimens of 
their kind and shipped in condition to give you 
the best results. 
Last year we had some difficulty in meeting 
the demands for certain varieties of plants; this 
year with our increased facilities we feel sure that 
none will be disappointed. 
All Shivers’ Plants are grown under my own 
supervision and must measure up to our standards 
of quality before shipping. 
Despite the increased cost of labor, packing, 
etc. we shall retain, with few exceptions, the prices 
in effect in 1937. 
To those who have never purchased Shivers’ 
Strawberry Plants we can assure them the same 
happy results that is the lot of our regular cus¬ 
tomers. 
In thanking you for past orders we earnestly 
solicit your business again this Spring. 
The Best of luck to you in 1938! 
Sincerely Yours, 
JAY H. SHIVERS, Jr.
