STRAWBERRIES... 



A tempting treat most anytime, strawberries have an extra special appeal 

 when picked from your own garden out of season. We have enjoyed strawberries 

 until Thanksgiving Day year after year, as everbearing varieties fruit until hard 

 freezing weather. For the truck gardener, fresh, local strawberries — out of sea- 

 son — always demand high prices, and food stores are glad to get them. Com- 

 mercial growers in Northern sections report handsome profits from Everbearing 

 Strawberry fields. 



Q E lv( ^^^*^^^® Heavy Producer 



GEM'S productiveness is pre- 

 ferred by many growers over 

 Mastodon. Introduced shortly 

 after Mastodon, it was quick to 

 gain friends in many sections. 

 If you have not tried GEM we 

 heartily recommend that you in- 

 clude it with your everbearing 

 plant order. It may prove just 

 what you're looking for. 



Vigorous Grower — Makes run- 

 ner plants quite freely. Dark , 

 healthy foliage free of leaf spot <-' 

 and scorch. r 



Beautiful Berries — Medium to 

 large light red berries. Uni- 

 form, smooth appearance and 

 firmness feature this attractive 

 berry. 



Heavy Producer — Yields con- 

 sistently during summer and fall 

 up to freezing weather. Good 

 spring crop often excels Masto- 

 don with some growers.

IMPORTANT! 



April plantings of everbearers begin blossoming shortly after setting. First blos- 

 soms should be removed so plants may become quickly and permanently established. 

 Blossoms in July should be left on. Berries will soon form, and blossoming and fruiting 

 will occur until hard freezing weather. By keeping plants weed free and well culti- 

 vated, a second summer and fall crop will prove especially bountiful. 



DIDN'T LOSE A PLANT

 Bought 100 Mastodon plants last May, and even at that late date I didn't lose a plant.
