GEMZATA — New Ever Bearing 



At our Red Bank, New Jersey farm, this Everbearing Strawberry has 

 proven to be the most desirable variety we have ever grown. It is the 

 result of crossing the popular Gem Everbearing with a vigorous grow-

 more and better fruit than any other Everbearing sort. It is of excellent 

 flavor and it retains its flavor right up to the last berry which is picked 

 late in the Fall. The berries are uniform, medium in size and attractive 

 in appearance. We recommend Gemzata for the Home Garden.
