EVERBEARING 
TRADE MARK 
The Reddest, Sweetest, Tastiest Everbearing Straw- 
berry offered in years. Promises to be rated among 
the greatest everbearing varieties. 
_ The “RED-RICH” is the result of 15 years of experiment- 
ing and cross-breeding by Marion Hagerstrom, a Minnesota 
farmer, who has bred strawberry plants for more than 20 
years. 
“RED-RICH” is a cross between Fairfax and Wayzata and 
produced 10,000 quarts per acre in the 1949 test plots. It 
is distinguished from all. other strawberries by its deep red 
color which runs through the entire berry. The fruit keeps 
well after harvesting and may be held for several days in 
good saleable condition, so necessary to heavy production. 
The new plant makes possible for the first time a quick 
freezing and perfect thawing strawberry without loss of 
firmness, flavor or natural sugars, offering farmers a greatly 
expanded market. j 
Plants available fall and spring. Order early.

Diagram shows method of planting Everbearing Straw- 
berry patch that will produce heavy crop of delicious berries 
the first season. 
Note that plants are set in beds 4 rows wide with plants 
spaced 1 foot apart each way. 
A 24 inch path between the beds allows for picking, weed- 
ing, where necessary, or other work to be done. A patch 
15 by 40 feet will take 500 plants and should produce 100 
quarts the first season and thereafter. 
This new system first observed by us at Wooster, Ohio, 
2 years ago and repeated observation has proved the merit 
of growing Strawberries in this manner. 
MASTODON 
(EVERBEARER) 
A True Everbearer And Remains One Of The Finest 
Of Our Everbearing Varieties 
It outyields some of our best June bearing sorts during 
their season and continues to bear throughout summer and 
fall. Berries of amazing size and superior quality, being very 
firm and attractive. Ior 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 prac- 
ticed, set the plants 15 inches apart in the row and have 
rows from 2 to 2% feet apart. This produces strong, robust 
hills that produce very heavily. 
GEM 
Proving Most Outstanding And Dependable 
Each Year 
One of the good everbearing varieties of recent introduc- 
tion. Coming from the Middle West, it has adapted itself 
to our conditions on the Wastern Shore very readily. We 
find it to be an excellent plant maker, very productive. Ber- 
ries are large and real beauties of excellent quality. We can 
recommend Gem. 
Plant Bountiful Ridge selected heavy fruiting strain Gem 
for a dependable everbearer. 
STREAMLINER 
Reports Continue Favorable On This 
New Everbearer 
Public approval from many sections attest its fine quality, 
rich color and real strawberry flavor. Include a generous 
planting for year around goodness. 
Streamliner is probably receiving more publicity than any 
everbearing strawberry of recent introduction. Coming from 
the west it seems to be adapting itself to most central and 
eastern growing conditions. Plants seem vigorous and pro+ 
duce good spring crops and bear almost constantly during 
late summer and fall. Berries are medium to large, rich red 
color throughout, having a real strawberry flavor. Stream- 
liner makes a good fruiting bed and we recommend it for 
trial.
