EVERBEARING VARIETIES 



THE 

 GIANT 



MASTODON 



THE KING OF ALL 

 EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 



Harvest a crop three months 

 after planting the plants and 

 continue to pick the berries 

 'till frost comes. A few thou- 

 sand Mastodon plants planted 

 on good soil and cared for 

 means an independent income. 

 They require good, fertile soil, 

 and if given this and good 

 cultivation they will delight 

 you with a tine crop of large, 

 beautiful, luscious berries. 

 Our stock of Mastodon plants 

 are genuine and selected for 

 productiveness. 



This variety is supreme 

 among all ever-bearing va- 

 rieties even as the Premier is 

 supreme a m o n g the early 

 spring bearing 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. For 

 best results newly set plants 

 should be disbudded up to 

 July 1st. They will then bear 

 very successfully by hill cul- 

 ture methods as well as mat- 

 ted bed row system. Where 

 hill culture is practiced, set 

 the plants 15 inches apart in 

 the row and have rows from 

 2 to 21/2 feet apart. This pro- 

 duces strong, robust hills 

 that produce very heavily. 



THE MASTODON EVERBEARING 



LUCKY STRIKE I^^^-^^^^^d ^^^^^"y by an 



Eastern 

 mt grower and is worthy of plant- 

 ing. We do not consider'this variety equal to Mastodon, but it 

 is superior to Progressive and Champion ever-bearing sorts. 

 It is a persistent yielder of medium to large berries of very 

 good quality and good appearances. Makes plants quite freely 

 and is a vigorous grower.

A NEW AND 

 OUTSTANDING EVERBEARER 



^ 



The most promising of all everbearing varieties recently in- 

 troduced. Coming from the Middle West, it has adapted itself 

 to our conditions on the Eastern Shore very readily. We lind 

 it to be an excellent plant maker, very productive. Berries are 

 large and are real beauties of excellent quality. This is the 

 Mastodon's closest rival. We can recommend it for trial.

"PLANTS ARE COVERED TO PREVENT WINTER INJURY TO CROWNS" 



Investigations over a period of years have proven that many strawberry plants are injured in the crown 

 by sudden low temperatures in early winter and by extreme low temperatures during the winter. This in- 

 jury is not severe nough to kill the plants but reflects directlv in the growth and productiveness of the 

 plants the following summer. Plants GROWN IN THIS IMMEDIATE SECTION HAVE SELDOM SHOWN 

 SERIOUS INJURY OF THIS KIND, due to our mild winters and IS AN IMPORTANT REASON WHY YOU 

 CAN SECURE THE BEST PLANTS AVAILABLE HERE AT PRINCESS ANNE. AS AN EXTRA PRE-
