GREEN MOUNTAIN * -"- »' 



Vermont which 

 thrives best in rather cold climates and on fairly heavy 

 soils, but there are excellent reports from most of the 

 northern and middle states and as far south as North' 

 Carolina. Mr. L, L. Berry, a veteran berry grower of 

 Brown Co., Ind., writes, "The Green Mountain has been 

 a success with me, better than Gem." The best crop 

 of any everbearer that any of the Aliens has ever seen 

 in all their years with strawberries was on Green 

 Mountain plants in Vermont. If you are an everbearing 

 "fan" you should not leave Green Mountain, without 

 a trial. 



Plant growth is dark, healthy, vigorous, usually 

 making moderate number of plants but large strong 

 ones. Moderately productive and in the right spots 

 very productive. Berries are rather long and either 

 blunt or pointed, prominent golden yellow seeds, bright 

 red tough skin, the shiniest of any everbearer, mild 

 sweet flavor, beautiful appearance and firm enough 

 to ship. 



As spring croppers Green Mountain and Mastodon 

 surpass all other everbearers. Mastodon in midseason, 

 Green Mountain very late. Given rich moist soil which 

 any very late variety must 

 have. Green Mountain 

 comes close to equalling 

 the wonderful crops of our 

 choicest spring varieties. 

 Our Green Mountain plants 

 this year look like they can 

 do just that for you. Price

EVERMORE ''^^""^^o/a Ueej— This variety 

 like Green Mountain seems to 

 be best adapted to cold climate and medium heavy 

 soils. Developed in Minnesota and tested for years 

 before it was named. Evermore has made a fine record 

 from Minnesota to Maine. From as far south as Sussex 

 Co., N. I., Miss Caroline Porter writes, "Order enclosed 

 for Evermore plants. If you have no Evermore left do 

 not send any. I have grown them before and like 

 them better than any other everbearers I have tried." 



Evermore foliage is very dark green with health and 

 vigor written all over it. In vigor of plant growth and 

 production of new plants. Evermore leads all the 

 everbearers. 



With us Evermore berries are fairly dark and in- 

 clined to color unevenly, the ground part being still 

 white after the exposed part of the berry is quite ripe. 

 Quality rather poor and berries soft, as grown in 

 eastern Maryland. Productiveness on the average about 

 the same as Gemzata. As with that variety, however, 

 we recommend Evermore for trial to determine its 

 local adaptation. There are enough reliable reports 

 about Evermore from northern states to establish its 

 excellence as a vigorous. 



CHAMPION (P^^^^^'^^^^^^- This was the 

 first good everbearer. It is 

 the sweetest of all. The plants are very productive, 

 although the berries are medium to small. Champion is 

 a moderately strong grower making more plants but 

 smaller ones than Mastodon. Champion has done well 

 in most states and is one of the best in the south. 

 Sweetness and productiveness are the strong points of 

 Champion. We have the best stock of this variety that 

 we have had for 10 years. Price list, page 31. 



productive, high quality 

 everbearer. It may be the 

 one best bet for your ever- 

 bearing garden. Our Ever- 

 more plants always show 

 "Class." Price list, page

^Fj^'TATA A rather new everbearer from 

 northern Indiana. Said to be a 

 cross of Gem X Wayzata. Gemzata is a vigorous 

 grower, making larger and fewer plants than Gem. 

 more and smaller plants than Wayzata. Plant growth 

 is very satisfactory, either for hill culture or spaced 

 row. As a spring cropper Gemzata is fairly good, 

 probably next to Mastodon and Green Mountain. As 

 a summer and fall cropper Gemzata has been with us 

 less productive than Gem but berries are larger. 

 Quality and firmness about the same. The larger ber- 

 ries are somewhat ridged but like Gem ha^ve light 

 color and bright shiny skin which makes them both 

 so attractive. If interested in everbearers by all means 

 try a few Gemzata for local adaptation. Some enthu- 

 siasts have described Gemzata as "the perfect berry 

 in all respects." Good big robust plants are in our 

 fields for you. Price list, page 31.
