GEMZATA 
Developed from a cross of Gem and Way- 
zata, in appearance it resembles Gem, but has 
much of the unusual fine flavor and firmness 
of Wayzata. It is a very vigorous grower, 
generally producing more and larger berries 
than either of its parents, more uniform and 
attractive than Wayzata. It is very resistant 
to foliage troubles and this year it withstood 
the dry weather and produced an excellent 
crop. From all indications Gemzata will soon 
be one of the most popular everbearing varie- 
ties and with its finer flavor and high pro- 
duction, we recommend it most highly. Our 
supply of plants is limited. Prices on Page 23. 
GEM 
Under suitable conditions Gem 
is a finer variety than Mastodon, 
however it does not seem to be 
adapted to so wide a range of soil 
and climatic conditions. 
Gem is productive and the ber- 
ries are very smooth and uniform, 
light, even red and firm. Quality 
too is good. At it’s best we con- 
sider Gem one of the finest ever- 
bearers and many of our custom- 
ers prefer it to any other. 
Growth—Vigorous, making runner 
plants quite freely. Foliage dark 
green and free from leaf troubles. 
Size—Berries are medium to large, 
very smooth and uniform, usually 
blunt conic to oval in shape. One of 
the most attractive everbearers. 
Quality - Firmness—Quality is good 
and the berries are quite firm, hold- 
ing up very well in shipment. This 
is one of Gem’s very desirable fea- 
tures. 
Color—A light, brilliant red, do not 
turn dark when overripe. Berries 
ripen evenly all over. 
WAYZATA 
The best flavored of all the everbearers. 
Which makes it very popular for the home 
garden. Plants make a vigorous growth, gen- 
erally clumps instead of runner plants, sets a 
enormous amount of berries on each clump, 
and is ideal for hill system. Wayzata re- 
sponds rapidly to good soil, thus frequent ap- 
plication of fertilizer will greatly increase the 
size of berries and also the yield. Needs 
springy soil as it fruits 90 days after setting 
and continues until freezing weather. We 
have a limited quantity of these plants to of- 
fer this season, but, be sure to order early.
