EVERBEARING 
Strawberries Six Months of the Year 
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. 
MASTODON. 
Grown Over Wider Area 
Than Any Other Variety 
MASTODON is grown suc- 
cessfully as far South as the 
high elevations of North 
Carolina and throughout the 
North. Produces a good crop 
during summer and fall of 
first year and a yield equal 
to many regular varieties the 
following spring which alone 
justifies growing it. Fall bear- 
ing qualities of this double- 
duty strawberry have made 
many friends and provided 
large profits to berry growers. 
MASTODON and GEM PRICES: 100 Plants $5.00; 1000 
Plants $25.00. Complete Price List on Page 43.

GEM shares the popularity 
spotlight with Mastodon in 
many areas because it sets a 
really worthwhile fall crop if 
not allowed to bed too thick. 
It is adapted to a wider range 
of soils than most everbearers 
and is often successful where 
others fail. Fruit sizes up 
well, although not as large as 
Mastodon, but flavor is super- 
ior under adverse weather 
conditions. 
GEM is an amazing plant 
maker and can be depended 
upen to set runner plants that 
become hardy, vigorous speci- 
mens and producers of fruit 
in an unusually short time. 
Thinning of abundant runner 
plants will enable setting a 
tremendous crop.
