Everbearing Strawberries 



Big, Luscious Berries Thru Late Summer and Fall Pay Big 

 Profits to The Commercial and Home Garden Grower 



THE 

 GIANT 



MASTODON 



STILL REIGNS AS KING OF ALL 

 EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 



Harvest a crop three 

 months after phmting the 

 plants and continue to pick 

 the berries 'till frost conies. 

 A few thousand Mastodon 

 plants planted on grood soil 

 and cared for means an in- 

 dependent income. The crop 

 the following spring almost 

 equals our best one cruj) va- 

 rieties. They reiiuire good, 

 fertile soil, and if given this 

 and good cultivation they 

 will delight you with a fine 

 crop of large, beautiful, lusc- 

 ious berries. Our stock of 

 Mastodon plants are genuine 

 and selected for productive- 

 ness. Be sure and order 

 some for this spring's plant- 

 ing. 



The best everbearing straw- 

 berry yet introduced, called 

 bv some western specialist 

 "The Wonder Berry". This V; 

 variety is supreme among all 

 ever- bearing varieties even 

 as the Premier is supreme 

 among the early spring bear- 

 ing varieties. It outylelds 

 some of our best June bear- 

 ing sorts during their sea- 

 son and continues to bear 

 throughoTit summer and fall 

 berries of amazing size and 

 superior quality, being very 

 Arm and attractive. For best 

 results newly set plants 

 should be disbudded up to 



July 1st. They will then bear 'till frost. They are grown very successfully by hill culture methods as well as 

 matted bed row system. Where hill culture is practiced, set the plants 15 inches apart in the row and have rows 

 from 2 to 2^2 feet apart. This produces strong, robust hills that produce very heavily. 



THE MASTODON EVERBEARING 



GEM 



GEM EVERBEARING 



AN OUTSTANDING EVERBEARER 



One of the best everbearing varieties of recent introduction. 

 Coming from the Middle West, it has adapted itself to our con- 

 ditions on the Eastern Shore very readily. We find it to be 

 an excellent plant maker, very productive. Berries are large 

 and are real beauties of excellent quality. This is the Mast- 

 odon's closest rival. We can recommend Gem. 



• GEMZATA 



A New Everbearing Strawberry That Challenges 

 The Mastodon and Gem 



Developed from a cross of the Gem and Wayzata it is a 

 triumph in Strawberry plant breeding. It is a vigorous grow- 

 er, foliage being resistant to leaf spot. The fruit resembles 

 Gem but averages larger, it is firm and very high in quality. 

 It seems to adapt itself to a wide range of soils and is very 

 productive, setting berries almost constantly during the sum- 

 mer months. It is truly a fine Everbearing berry and we re- 

 commend it for trial.
