Gem Everbearing Strawberries 



The Everbearing Strawberries 



There should always be some of these varieties 

 planted in the home garden. They will start fruiting 

 90 d?.ys after the plants are set and produce all through 

 the summer and fall till there is a heavy frost. Any 

 family that enjoys delicious strawberries (and we be- 

 lieve everyone does) should not be without at least one 

 of the everbearing varieties. Just think, you can have 

 delicious strawberry shortcake, strawberries and cream 

 and all the other strawberry desserts all through the 

 summer and fall, with very little expense, for if given 

 proper care each plant will often produce a quart or 

 more of delicious berries during their long fruiting sea- 

 son. You can have plenty for your own use and then 

 sell enough to pay your expenses from just a small 

 patch. Your neighbors will be glad to buy them. 



Since Mastodon has been introduced there are large 

 profits for the grower who plants them for market. 

 They averaged our local growers a little over 17 cents 

 per quart net this past season. Be sure to include some 

 in your order, for if you plant a few rows in addition 

 to your standard varieties they may pay the expenses 

 of growing your whole patch. 



The essentials for successfully producing everbear- 

 ers are the same as for growing the standard varieties; 

 good fertile soil that will retain moisture and strong 

 healthy, true-to-name plants. Keep the blossoms off 

 till the last of June and the plant will make a vigorous 

 growth and a fair bed and you will have plenty of ber- 

 ries all through the summer and fall. Early planting 

 is very important with these everbearing varieties. 



Virginia, October 4, 1935. The trees arrived in finest 

 condition and perfectly superb specimens as is always 

 the case with the stock you send.
