MASTODON 



The World's Best Everbearer 



J^^g'PODO]^ is the leader of all the everbearing varieties and is the only 

 one I have tried that is worth growing commercially, as it is 

 firm enough to stand shipping to nearby markets. It is as productive as Champion and while 

 not as sweet, is superior in every other way, being much larger, more handsome, sells quicker 

 and will bring more money. Plants set this spring will produce a big crop of fruit this fall, 

 fruiting from late July until freezing weather. Another thing that makes Mastodon a safe 

 variety to plant is that it will not only produce a big fall crop but will bear a heavy crop next 

 spring that will compare favorably with most of the spring bearing varieties, ripening in mid- 

 season, and producing big, juicy red berries of dehcious flavor with a bright green cap giving 

 them a handsome appearance in the package. The plants are large with long deep roots that 

 enables them to withstand drouth. The foliage is low and spreading which protects blossoms 

 from frost and cold in the fall. I sold out on Mastodon last year but this year I have a good 

 supply and have tried to make the price within the reach of all so why not enjoy nice luscious 

 berries this summer and fall. 



^|-J^J^f>K)]^ (Progressive) I am listing Champion again as I have calls for it. 

 This is the variety that first put everbearing varieties on the map 

 and until Mastodon was introduced was the heaviest producing everbearer grown and will pro- 

 duce as many berries as Mastodon but are much smaller but of better flavor, being so sweet 

 they do not require as much sugar and is one of the best for the home table. Very productive 

 and a sure cropper every season. Plants are medium in size, very thrifty and full of vitality. 

 Champion is a home garden or local market variety not being firm enough for shipping.

Dear Sir: 



Received the strawberry plants the other day, April 24th; they look good, and I am well 

 satisfied so far with them.

 Dear Sir: 



Your plants were sure fine last year and always before. I never saw any better.
