GREEN MOUNTAIN 
MASTODON 
A FINE NEW EVERBEARER 
FOR COLD CUM ATE 5 £r HEAVY 50IL 
The finest crop of Everbearing strawberries we 
have ever seen was of the Green Mountain variety 
on the farm of The Aiken Nurseries in Vermont. 
It has made a very fine record there for productive- 
ness and profit, producing good crops in both the 
first and second years. The berries are medium to 
large in size, have a bright glossy red skin and 
prominent yellow seeds which makes them very 
attractive. The quality is very mild and sweet. 
The texture is firm and somewhat dry, making 
them excellent for shipping. In plant growth Green 
Mountain is more vigorous than the other Ever- 
bearing varieties. It makes as large a plant as 
Mastodon and sets them almost as freely as Gem. 
Green Mountain seems to be best adapted to cool 
climates and heavier soils. When grown here in 
Maryland it does not start bearing in summer as 
early as Gem and Mastodon and when we have a 
long cool fall before our first freezes Green Moun- 
tain will outyield the others for late berries, with 
perhaps as large a total production as Gem. We 
have had some very profitable crops with this 
variety even this far south. Green Mountain is 
a patented variety, the patent being held by the 
introducers. It is understood when you purchase 
plants of this variety that you purchase the right 
to the fruit crops produced and to propagate plants 
for your own use, but not to sell or give away. We 
are selling Green Mountain under special arrange- 
ment with the patent owners. Green Mountain is 
highly recommended for heavier soil types from the 
latitude of Virginia north. Price list, page 35. 
Green Mountain Makes Friends at Roadside 
Stand 
Monroe Co., N. J. Sept. 27th, 1937. A few weeks ago 
I bought«some delicious strawberries at a roadside stand 
on a trip I was taking. They were kind enough to tell 
me that they were Green Mountain Everbearing and 
gave me your name. If you have a catalog will you 
kindly send me one? I want to get some. — Mrs. W. B. 
Hillman. 
The Most Popular 
EVERBEARER 
Mastodon is so good that it was the first Ever- 
bearer widely grown as a money crop. Even today 
probably more than half of all the Everbearing 
strawberries in the country are of this variety. Ex- 
cept in years when weather conditions are right, 
Mastodon is not especially good as far South as 
Southern Maryland and Virginia, but is very fine 
in most northern sections. 
The ruggedness of Mastodon plants and the vigor 
of its growth account largely for the uniformly good 
results with it. Mastodon berries average large in 
size, attractive in appearance, good in quality and 
firm enough to ship moderate distances. Other 
varieties have proved better in certain sections and 
under certain conditions, but Mastodon is the uni- 
versal variety which has given uniformly good re- 
sults, and is a safe one to plant. Price list, page 35. 
Mastodon Berries 5^ Inches Around 
Shenandoah Co., Va. May 31st, 1937. I picked 
some Mastodon yesterday that measured 53^ inches 
around. Wonderful berries. — Mr. Landon C. Stickley. 
Satisfied with Mastodon 
Whatcom Co., Wash. April 2nd, 1937. I ordered 
200 Mastodon plants last spring. They turned out so 
good that I just wished you could have seen them. I 
sure was satisfied with them, and your book of berries 
is the best I ever had. — Mr. Charles Lind. 
Berries Were Grand 
West Chester Co., N. Y. Jan. 26, 1937. Kindly 
send me 100 Mastodon Berry plants. The order I re- 
ceived before did well. Never lost a plant. I told my 
neighbor last year about 
-■■ ~ your plants and he sent an 
_ j order. Tells me he was 
J v glad I gave him your name 
for his plants all lived and 
berries were grand and you 
can be sure I'll tell my 
friends about you. — Mrs. 
L. Duemig. 
We recommend mar- 
keting Everbearers in 
pint baskets. The 15- 
pint flat pictured here 
has proved profitable 
with us. A 24- pint 
crate with two layers 
has also proved popu- 
lar for marketing 
Everbearers.
