NEW GEM Attractive 
Excellent Quality 
FALLBEARING 
A heavy fruiting, big, rich, red berry of very fine flavor and 
quality. It does exceptionally well in all the Northern States 
and as far West as Missouri. It seems to be a good producer 
in most any type of soils; and at its best on rich loam. Gem 
is a little better plant maker than the Mastodon, therefore, 
would suggest putting the plants a little farther apart in 
the row, about 16 inches is a good distance. Gem is also a 
very valuable variety for its spring crop. It produces a nice 
crop about the same time as the midseason varieties do. 
We grow several acres on our farms for their berries and 
like Gem very much. This season we picked Gem as late 
as November the 14th, and noticed quite a few green berries 
and blossoms on the plants. It surely will give you a long 
une season and it takes a mighty cold freeze to stop 
em. 
Every Home Garden Should Have Fallbearing 
Fallbearing Strawberries require very little space to grow them to 
perfection. Just space plants 12 inches apart in rows 12 inches 
wide and you can hardly realize how many berries can be picked 
from one of our garden collections. The women folks are planting 
fallbearing in their garden instead of short crop vegetables.

The Mastodon is one of the largest and most popular of all 
fall-bearing varieties. The color of this large berry is of bright 
rich red, has a nice large green cap which accounts for its 
attractive appearance that is admired by all who see it. Tex- 
ture of the berry is good and stands up well after picking. 
Customers write us that they have averaged one quart of 
berries from each plant. While others write us they made 
as high as $450.00 from a garden plot.
