MASTODON 



"I set out 150 of your everbearing plants on the 

 very first day of April and every plant grew. 

 Although I picked off many blossoms they began 

 fruiting the very first days of July and are 

 now giving two quarts a picking every other 

 day". Mr. Richard PengiUy, Pulaski Co., Ind., 

 July 18, 1942. 



"The Mastodon I ordered last spring were wonderful. I began to pick 

 berries about September 1st and the plants were still loaded with berries 

 when it froze up in November". Mr. V. E. Pierson, Wyoming Co., Pa., Feb. 

 8, 1942. 



''Mastodon does better for me here than Gem, making larger and more 

 compact plants and more berries. I get about a quart a day from the 200 

 plants (100 of each) set this spring". Mr. George W. Davey, Hampden Co., 

 Mass., Sept. 1, 1942. 



More people in more states grow Mastodon (and like it) than 

 any other everbearer. Some of the other varieties may be much 

 better or much poorer ur\der varying conditions, but Mastodon 

 almost never lets you down entirely. It makes a strong, rugged 

 plant which can stand some abuse and still make a fair show- 

 ing. Like Premier and Catskill of the standard sort, Mastodon 

 is the one everbearer that can be most confidently depended 

 upon. 



Furthermore, it is a fine midseason berry for the spring 

 season, entirely apart from its everbearing crop. Very logically 

 this begets confidence in Mastodon as a safe berry to plant. 

 The berries, from either crop, are leurge, bright* red and good 

 quality, firm enough for local or nearby markets. Price list,

GREEN 

 MOUNTAIN 



This i3 a splendid late Everbearing variety and an equally 

 good, very late spring variety. Green Mountain thrives best 

 on fairly heavy soils and in a rather cold climate. There are 

 excellent reports of it from nearly all the northern and mid- 

 western states — with some enthusiastic reports from certain 

 sections of Pennsylvania and Ohio and in higher altitudes as 

 far south as Western North Carolina. 



The plants makes a strong, healthy foliage that is also tough 

 and leathery. Very productive as a fall cropper in regions 

 suited to it. Berries are sweet, rather dry, beautiful yellow 

 seeds, glossy skin, very attractive. Good shippers, sell well. 

 Popularity increasing. We can sell you Green Mountain only 

 with the understanding that you are not to propagate plants 

 for sale to others. Price list, page 31, 



Wayzata 



Best tasting of all the Everbearers, 

 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 31. 



^1 • {Progressive). This was the first 



^nOmplOri good Everbearer. It is still the sweet- 

 est of all. The plants are very pro- 

 ductive although the berries are 

 rather small. Champion is not as strong a grower as the 

 Mastodon or Green Mountain, but has done well in most states 

 and is one of the best in the South. Sweetness and productive- 

 ness are the strong points of this variety. Price list, page 31.
