J. H. Shivers Plant Farms, Allen, Maryland 13 
DUNLAP: It is gradually being replaced by Premier because Premier 
berries are earlier, larger, and more handsome in appearance. 
Dunlap is still grown by many of its old friends and we have a nice stock 
of plants for those who know and want it. Berries are medium in size, bright 
rich red clear through, and fair to good in quality. 
TENNESSEE SHIPPER: A new variety originated in Tennessee and a 
cross of a Missionary and Blakemore. I would say it was a variety well worth. 
trying. 
Tennessee Shipper is an early variety, makes less plants than Blakemore 
but larger. The berries are attractive, pointed and carry well making it a good 
shipper. 
FAIRMORE: A cross of the Fairfax and the Blakemore and noted for its 
high quality, and its firmness in shipping. 
The plant growth is very vigorous, making larger, but fewer plants than 
the Blakemore does in this section. The leaves are very large, dark and glossy 
green. The fruit is very firm and more uniform in shape than the Fairfax. It 
ripens about the same time as the Blakemore. It is recommended for North 
Carolina and the Southern States. 
My order of plants received in fine shape. They are nice plants and I would 
like to have 50 of the Gem Everbearing variety.
