The Season's Greetings to all of our friends and cus- 
j reetings 
tomers coupled with the wish that our L347 plants were 
profitable and their growth and yisid ‘irs keeping with 
your expeciations. 
Strawberry plant cultvation has its many. uncer- 
tainties - therefore, our continued wishes for your success. 
The prospects for 1948 indicate tewer plants—gen- 
erally on account of dry weather. A survey of our fields 
leads us to believe there will be no appreciable let, down 
in quality combined with more extensive cultivation to 
anticipate any shortages. 
It is always advisable, however, to place your or- 
ders as soon as possible, thus giving us some discretion 
in shipping and eliminating any traffic jams here at the 
shipping sheds. 
Remember, anytime you are near Allen or Salis- 
bury, you are heartily welcome to visit us at the Shiver 
Foun 
Cordially, 
Jay H. Shivers.
