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

OUTLOOK FOR 1949 Continued 
Survey shows that the demand for fresh strawberries last 
season through out the country was very good. Most every grower 
whom we have talked with was well pleased with the price re- 
ceived for them. This usually creates a demand for plants the fol- 
lowing spring. 
None of us can definitely tell now what the coming year will 
bring. We do know that strawberries are the first fruit to ripen. 
There is usually a great demand yor fresh strawberries and the 
surplus can be sold on the market, to the canners or if desired, 
stored in the home freezer, for family consumption. 
We wish to thank our old customers again for their 1948 
orders and trust the growth of plants and yield will be in keeping 
with their expectations. We wish to extend a hearty welcome to 
any new customer who would like to try our plants.

I do hope that you can fill this order, although it is small. I have gotten 
nice plants from you many years ago when I was a large commercial grower.
