MASTODON 



Fallbearing— A Leader 



BECAUSE MASTODON is one of the largest 

 fallbearing strawberries grown, and be- 

 cause of the attractive appearance and 

 size, high prices are never hard to get. All fallbearing 

 berries bring premium prices on the fall berry market, 

 but Mastodon usually tops them all. You can set Masto- 

 don plants this spring, and have plenty of deliciously 

 flavored berries from July until September, or up until 

 freezing weather. Townsend's select strain Mastodon will 

 usually yield at least one quart of berries from every 

 plant set. They can be grown very close together if the 

 hill system is used. (Space plants 12 x 18 inches apart, 

 keeping all runners cut off.) The home gardener may 

 use a small space in the garden to grow Mastodon at a 

 very small cost, while the market gardener growing them 

 for roadside stands will find Mastodon to be a highly 

 profitable investment. We advise ordering early to be 

 sure of getting plants of this fine variety.

NEW GEM 



(Fallbearing) 

 HEAVY PRODUCER 



Famous for its big, 

 red, rich fruit, and 

 its high productive- 

 ness. New Gem is a 

 good producer on practically 

 any type soil, especially rich 

 loam. Good results have 

 been obtained throughout 

 the North and as far west 

 as Missouri. As Gem is a 

 little better plant maker 

 than Mastodon, we suggest 

 putting the plants farther 

 apart in the row (about 16 

 inches i. Gem is a very valu- 

 able variety for its spring 

 crop, producing a nice crop 

 about the same time as the 

 midseason varieties do. We 

 grow several acres of Gem for 

 our personal use and find, 

 invariably that we can pick 

 our berries as late as the 

 middle of November. You 

 will see for yourself that 

 Gem will give you a long 

 fruiting season and will 

 withstand all but extra- 

 ordinarily severe cold.

NEW WAYZATA— 



Fallbearing -Big, Delicious 



Originated in Minnesota, this new Fallbearing 

 Strawberry has always produced a good crop in the 

 fail months of the first year set and the following 

 early spring. The solidity of the Wayzata berry guar- 

 antees good shipping quality, while its rich, red, large ap- 

 pearance guarantees an easy market. It can be set 10 to 12 

 inches apart, always yielding a good crop. (A space 10 feet 

 by 10 feet, set with 100 Wayzata should produce 75 to 

 100 quarts.) Stock is scarce, so order now. We'll ship when 

 you're ready to set. 



LUCKY STRIKE— 



Fallbearing -Attractive, Good Quality 



Lucky Strike is well-shaped, rich red in color, has 

 an excellent flavor, stands up well in shipping, and 

 makes a good fruiting bed on ordinary soil. This 

 variety is a favorite with many growers throughout 

 the country. One of our New Jersey customers will have 

 no other variety, and Mr. Theo Hewes of Indiana writes 

 us that he considers Lucky Strike the best Fallbearing 

 grown.
