20 J. H. Shivers Plant Farms, Allen, Maryland 
MINNESOTA 1166 
Minnesota 1166 is a very productive everbearer. It makes a good 
quantity of plants and is a strong grower, resembling the Missionary 
variety. The fruit is attached to a fine green hull that will not pull 
out when berries are dead ripe. The color of fruit is dark red but 
very solid. It has been known to keep several days without refriger- 
ation, and never spoiling. It will dry up like a raisin before it will 
spoil. The flavor is even better than the Wayzata, which has always 
WAYZATA 
The Wayzata is the best tasting everbearer. It is a very large 
and strong plant but makes very few of them, because of this, it is 
often used in the narrow row or hill system. It pproduces a high 
quality berry which is quite firm and deep red in color. It yields well 
for the number of plants it makes. Good results have been obtained 
by northern growers. It thrives best on heavily fertilized soils. The 
common strawberry plant diseases rarely attack the Wayzata, in 
Minnesota and states where it is best grown. I have only a limited 
supply ot this variety. é 
We received the plants in fine shape. I planted them a few days 
later and every plant is growing. I did not lose a plant, so I am very 
much pleased with them.

I was very well pleased with my Strawberry plants which I 
purchased from you last year. They were as nice as I ever had. So 
many have asked me where I bought them. I told them and several 
are expecting to order from you. I would like my order of Premier 
about the second week in April by Parcel Post.

O 
I have changed my address and want to plant some strawberries. 
I want your 1944 catalog very much. Shivers is still “Tops.” Both 
in quality and price. If you can spare three or four of your catalogs, 
I shall be glad to pass them on to interested people. This is a good 
fruit growing community.

O 
Plants received in good condition, also received your check for 
difference and I thank you. I agree with you 100 percent, in shipping 
plants via parcel post even if it should cost three times more, as it 
certainly pays. The plants arrived in better shape and quicker. 
Thanking you again for prompt and kind atténtion.
