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 

 fruiting season and it takes a mighty cold freeze to stop 

 them. 



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. 

 They are furnishing the table with fresh delicious berries on a 

 small investment. 



Our Service Department has a free Bulletin on Growing Fallbear- 

 ing Strawberries. A copy will be gladly sent you on request. 



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 attrac- 

 tive appearance that is admired by all who see it. Texture 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 set. While others write us they made as high as 

 $450.00 from a garden plot.
