FALLBEARINC 



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.

THE MASTODON is one of the largest and most 

 popular of all fallbearing varieties. Tne 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. 

 Texture of the berry is good and stands up well 

 after picking. Can be shipped by truck several 

 hundred miles without injury. The quality of our 

 True Blue Strain Mastodon far excels the old 

 strain. You now have a Mastodon berry with a 

 rich delicious flavor of the highest quality.
