FALLBEARING STRAWBERRIES 

 PROFITABLE to Market Gardeners 



FALLBEARING strawberries have 

 proved a godsend to many a 

 market gardener. Many market gardeners 

 throughout the country are able to com- 

 mand premium prices during the late sum- 

 mer and fall months at roadside markets, 

 nearby markets and local trade, as well. We 

 have records of growers who have made as 

 high as $450.00 from one Big Profit making 

 Pall-Bearing Garden,— and of growers who 

 have actually averaged a quart of berries 

 for every plant set. 



Our strain of Fallbearing Strawberries 

 have been built up by special care and 

 selection and we are proud of the heavy 

 producing qualities. Increasing demands for . 

 these berries every year has caused us to 

 allocate a considerable acreage to Fallbear- 

 ing plantings. This year we have a selected 

 set of husky, new ground grown plants 

 ready to fill your order from. As the de- 

 mand increases annually, we suggest that 

 you place your order now, advising us to 

 make shipment when you will be ready

A Leader in the Field 



#A11 Fallbearing strawberries 

 bring high prices, but Masto- 

 don tops the field. Because it 

 is one of the largest varieties of its 

 class, and because of its attractive 

 appearance, high prices are never 

 hard to get. Townsends' select si rail i 

 Mastodon is extremely productive 

 usually yielding a quart of berries 

 from every plant set! If you set 

 Mastodon this spring you should 

 get luscious berries from Jul,' I ighl 

 through the summer and fall (until 

 freezing weather sets in) . We 

 gest that you order early to make 

 sure of delivery. You'll find Masto- 

 don a profitable investment for

has acquired a splendid reputation 



throughout the North and as far 



west as Missouri. New Gem is a little
