Attractive 
Excellent Quality 
FALLBEARING 
This variety has been a favorite fallbearing with some 
growers throughout the country. Mr. Theo. Hewes of 
Indiana writes us that he considers it one of the best 
for his section. Fruit is rich red, good quality and stands 
up well after picking. 
Big, Delicious Flavor 
FALLBEARING 
The fruit of this variety is extra large in size, bright 
rich red, and of fine quality. Makes very few runners, 
produces most of its fruit on extra strong crown shorts 
growing up from the original plant set.

Large Rich Red 
Heavy Producer 
FALLBEARING 
A heavy fruiting. Big, rich, red berry of very fine 
flavor and quality. It does exceptionally well in al 
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 Novembei the 14th, 
and noticed quite a few green berries and blossoms 
on the plants. It surely will give you a :ong fruiting 
season and it takes a mighty cold freeze to stop them.
