J. H. Shivers Plant Farms, Allen, Maryland 17 


From our experience, this variety is equal to any Everbearer ana 
really has surpassed all, even the Mastodon over a test of several years. 
GROWTH OF PLANTS. Under most conditions, Gem will make 
a good bed of plants. The plants are very prolific. We have seen 
the runner plants put out blossom before they had taken root. The 
berries are medium to large in size, a bright red color and a very good 
flavor.

My 1000 Mastadon strawberry plants rached here in good shape.

Please ship via express as soon as possible 7000 Premier and 1000 
Catskill. The plants I bought from you last year were fine plants 
and they arrived in good condition.
