MASTODON 
"In my opinion Mastodon berries are the aces o£ the strawberry world. In 
April, 1939, I bought 2,000 Mastodon plants and set out 10 rows. These bore 
fruit August 1, 1939, and we had plenty of berries to use and sell. I sold 800 
quarts to our local store and could have sold more. I can sell more berries than 
I seem able to produce, at a nice profit. — Mr. Milburn Sloan, Trumbull Co., 
Ohio., May 12, 1941. 
"I have only a small house garden but the 50 Mastodon I got from you 
have been wonderful and I want 50 more of the same." — Mr. Herman F. 
Arendtz, Suffolk, Mass., April 16, 1941. 
Letters like these from large growers and from small growers are received each year telling 
about their good results with Mastodon. In spite of the fact that we say we like Gem better, and that 
Gem is better with us in Maryland, our plant sales of Mastodon continue larger than those of Gem. 
We believe one of the main reasons why Mastodon is so generally popular is because it makes such 
rugged plants, like the ones shown above. When growing conditions are good, Mastodon responds like 
other varieties and makes a good showing. When conditions are bad, the rugged Mastodon plants survive 
and make a fair showing anyway — while some of the varieties with weaker plants fall down rather badly. 
Mastodon usually makes plenty of young, robust, new runner plants. They are productive of large, well 
shaped, good quality berries. It's a good variety for the home garden and growers who get good yields can 
make nice money with Mastodon. 
In addition to its summer and fall crops, Mastodon is one of the best midseason berries for the regular 
spring crop. You always have a second chance when you plant Mastodon. Price list, page 35.

and an equally 
fine very late regular season kind. Our stock of 
plants is so short we don't dare tell ail the good 
things we know about the Green Mountain. It likes 
heavy soils and cool climates. Plant is stronger, 
more vigorous grower than any Everbearer except 
Mastodon. Berries sweet, rather dry, beautiful 
yellow seeds, glossy skin, very attractive, good 
shippers, sell well. 
Popularity increasing. "I am ordering Green 
Mountain from you because I have found "them 
superior and better than any other variety of Ever- 
bearer in this locality," says Israel Norden, Dawson 
Co., Nebr., March 25, 1941. 
"I consider Green Mountain the finest Ever- 
bearer of more than twenty varieties I have tried." 
— Mr. Chas. M. Peterson, age 91, Summit Co., 
Ohio, March 7, 1941. 
It is chiefly a Northern berry but enthusiastic 
reports have come to us about Green Mountain 
from higher altitudes as far south as North Caro- 
lina. Price list, page 35.

VVOyZOTQ erSj Wayzata is a good one for 
the home garden. It has been 
at its best in Minnesota, Wisconsin and other 
Northern States. Wayzata is a heavy feeder and 
must be heavily fertilized for best results. The 
plants make very few new runners so it is well 
adapted to growing by the hill system, Wayzata 
plants that fail to make any runners will often make 
a very strong growth with lots of leaf area and 
several good strong crowns in each plant. Some 
growers sell these as "Clump Plants." We have 
a limited supply of such plants that we can supply 
at 10c each. Price list, page 35.
