Worth While ^^N^wcomers 

 Among Strawberries 



Every garden year is marked by a certain amount of progress, 

 in form of improved varieties. Better bearers of bigger berries 

 and surer cropping characteristics are constantly sought. 

 While not all newcomers stand the test of time, the year 1926 

 finds us convinced of the decided merit of at least three new- 

 comers ofTered herewith. The descriptions stand for the 

 combined experiences of the originators and ourselves, but 

 allowances must be made for varying behaviors in different 

 soils and sections. However, we believe that we owe it to our 

 customers to keep them informed as to what's happening in 

 the novelty field. 



Mastodon Everbearing 



The Outstanding Achievement of a Decade 



Every once in a while a hybridizer will hit upon two parents 

 having the blood to produce a perfect offspring. Such is 

 Mastodon, a hybrid between Superb and a late June bearing 

 sort, a berry bound to revolutionize market standards in 

 Strawberries. 



Size is still the determining factor in berries and it is in size 

 that Mastodon surpasses. Berries 5 inches in circumference 

 are found frequently. Five placed end to end measured 

 8 inches. Two-ounce berries are not exceptional and the 

 fruits are firm and of splendid color. 



Notwithstanding its size, Mastodon is unquestionably the 

 most prolific of all the everbearing varieties. It bears con- 

 tinuously from June until frost. Its flavor, too, is excellent, 

 so we can truly claim that it has all the qualifications for be- 

 coming one of the outstanding Strawberries of the future.

DELICIOUS (June bearing) . We predict that in a short 

 time this will become one of the leaders among home and 

 market berries, because of its readiness to adapt itself and 

 thrive luxuriantly in a great variety of soils and situations. 

 The healthy plants make a vigorous growth, producing suffi- 

 cient runners to make a nicely matted row. This plant is an 

 abundant bearer of extra large berries which are of a beautiful 

 red color clear through and of exceptionally high quality 

 flavor and aroma — hence the name — "Delicious."
