 MASTODON

 BERRY OF MASTODON, TERMED 

 THE WONDER BERRY. 



The Best Among 

 EVERBEARING 

 Strawberries 



THE "survival of the fittest" is the 

 inexorable law among Strawberries. 

 Varieties come, to be displaced 

 directly by newcomers of still greater metit. The 

 only constant factor is change, dictated by the 

 arrival of newer sorts of greater merit. Those 

 offered here stand for the last word in this class. 



Mastodon 



Called by some Western Specialist 

 "The Wonderberry" 

 We find this to be truly the largest, most delicious 

 and heaviest yielding of all Everbearing sorts. 



It outyields some of the finest June bearing sorts 

 during their season and continues to bear, through- 

 out summer and fall, berries of amazing size and 

 surpassing quality. For best results (though this 

 is not essential), plants should be disbudded up to 

 July 1. They will then bear banner crops begin- 

 ning early in August and continue to produce 

 heavy crops of delicious berries right up until se- 

 vere freezing weather. . 



Champion Everbearing 



Apparently a seedling of Superb, and like it in 

 many respects, though it is much more productive 

 and the fruit is larger. Though enduring one of the 

 most trying seasons last year, Champion Everbear- 

 ing again came through with flying colors. 



EVERBEARING 

 STRAWBERRIES 

 STANDARD VARIETIES 



PROGRESSIVE — Of vigorous habit , 

 with large, clean leaves; the plants multiply 

 better than many of the fall-bearing varie- 

 ties and yield profusely. The berries, which are 

 smooth and uniform in size, are deep crimson, 

 glossy, and of good quality. 



SUPERB — Among the best known and most 

 largely planted. The berries are nearly round, 

 smooth, dark crimson, glossy, and of sweet flavor. 

 It yields heavily in June and is one of the most pro- 

 lific again in the fall.

Mrs. H. M. Tarver, San Antonio, Texas, 

 writes as follows: 



"The plants were all received in excellent condi- 

 tion, and are growing fine. The heavy fruiting-age 

 Grape Vines are well laden with fruit buds."
