To Our Friends 
r 
r ^nd Customers: 
V • 
Another year has rolled around since we have had an 
opportunity of expressing our thanks for your patronage 
through the pages of our Catalog. 
In sending our 1940 Planting Guide and Strawberry 
Listings we can only repeat that all our plants are “true to 
type”, freshly dug, and carry the Shivers Guarantee for 
complete Satisfaction. 
In the choice of Parent Stock, Cultivation and to rais¬ 
ing, the results secured by our customers justify the caution 
\ 
that makes the cultivation, the packing and shipping of our 
Strawberry Plants a pleasant task. 
Our plants did exceptionally well this year. We have a 
large supply of plants of most varieties, as the past season 
was very favorable for growing stock, therefore, place your 
» 
order early and we are sure to supply you with large stocky 
plants. 
We realize that our Catalog is but one of many that 
may invite your attention this year. We can only say that 
your confidence will not be misplaced if you select Shivers 
Plants for 1940 setting. 
Sincerely yours, 
JAY H. SHIVERS
