bay SUES VASTISTNS [pera NEO TEL You With an Endless Flow of Big Red Delicious Berries 
ries are attractive in size and 
color with a nice large green cap. Fallbearing berries always bring a Premium Price on the fall 
berry market, and Mastodon usually tops the market. You can set plants of the Mastodon Fall- 
bearing this spring and have plenty of delicious flavored berries during July, August, September 
and until cold freezing weather. Townsend's select strain Mastodon will usually pick one quart of 
berries from every plant set. They can be grown very close together, if grown in hill system, spacing 
plants 12 inches apart each way and keeping all runners cut off. A small space in the garden will 
give you this delicious fruit at a very small cost. The market gardeners growing them for roadside 
stands will find in Mastodon a profitable investment. Would advise ordering early as good Mastodon 
plants are scarce this year We will book your order and make shipment whenever you are ready to set. 
NEW WAYZATA—Fallbearing — Big, Delicioi 
This new Fallbearing Strawberry was originated in Minnesota, where it has stood the test of 
extreme cold weather and has always produced a good crop of berries in the fall months of first 
year set and another nice crop the following spring. The fruit is extra large in size and bright rich 
red in color. It can also be classed as a good shipping variety, being very solid and of excellent 
quality. Wayzata makes very few runner plants, producing most of its berries on extra strong 
crown shoots growing up from the main plant, for this reason it can be set 10 to 12 inches apart 
and a large crop of berries produced from a small area. A space, 10 feet by 10 feet, set with 100 
Wayzata should produce for you from 75 to 100 quarts of berries. Owing to the shy plant making 
ability of Wayzata, the propagating stock is scarce and high in price. Therefore, would advise 
ordering early if you intend on setting Wayzata for your crop of berries this summer and fall. 
LUCKY STRIKE — Attractiv 
Fallbearing Excellen 
This variety has been a favorite with 
some growers throughout the country. 
One of our New Jersey customers will have 
no other variety; while Mr. Theo. Hewes, 
of Indiana, writes us that he considers 
Lucky Strike the best fall bearing grown. 
It is a beautifully shaped berry, rich red 
in color and a good flavor, stands up well 
in shipping and makes a good fruiting bed 
on ordinary soil. 
NEW GEM — Hea / 
Fallbearing Producer r 
A heavy fruiting. Big, rich, red berry of 
very fine flavor and quality. It does ex- 
ceptionally well in all the Northern States 6 






To our Friends who receive this catalogue and have never grown the

plenty of them until snow files; or hard freezing weather stops them.

country on a large commercial scale by Market 
Gardeners, and thousands of Home Gardeners 
If you have never planted them before try them 
this r; they will give you a vast amount of 
plee and profit from a small investment.

page as they are the cream of the Fallbearing

this summer and fall. And will also give 
you a nice crop of fruit the following 
spring after setting, fruiting about the 
same time as Our Early to midseason 
varieties. 





Every home garden should have 
a planting of fallbearing 







Pallbesarine Strawberries require very 
little space to grow them to perfection. Just 
space plants 12 inches apart in rows 12 
inches wide and you can hardly realize how 
many berries can be picked from one of 
our garden collections. The women folks 
are planting fall bearing in their garden 
instead of short crop vegetables. They are 
furnishing the table with fresh delicious 
berries six months in the year on a small 
investment, others have written us that 
they had more than they could use and made 
extra money by selling them to their neigh- 
bors and local stores who are always will- 
ing to take them at a fancy price.

and at it’s best on rich loam. Gem is a o 
little better plant maker than the Mas- 
todon, 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 fruit- 
ing season and it takes a mighty cold 
freeze to stop them.
