PLANT RAYNER'S EVERBEARING AND 



HAVE BIG DELICIOUS BERRIES LN 



JUST 90 DAYS. 



Often the everbearers are the 



most useful and valuable of straw- 

 berries. With the small amount 

 of attention they require no home 

 garden is complete without them. 

 Just think, big delicious berries in 

 90 days and on until hard freezing 

 weather in the fall, this is certain- 

 i ly too good to pass up. For com- 



mercial growers who have moist, 

 , springy soil or irrigation the ever- 

 gly bearers are very profitable. De- 

 X|f mand and prices are always good 

 u and high returns are the rule. As 

 I ^f the everbearers produce a heavy 

 ^# t spring crop equal to most stand- 

 *%M ard varieties, they are sure money 

 %§jt] makers. Everbearers are as easily 

 grown as standard sorts, all blos- 

 soms should be removed until 

 plants become well developed, this 

 is usually about the middle of Ju- 

 ly. For largest size all runners 

 should be removed as they appear, 

 but good crops of fine fruit are 

 produced if runner plants are kept 

 well spaced. 



THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR 

 AND PROFITABLE EVERBEARING 



The most popular everbearer for 16 years. This fact surely proves the worth of this fine 

 variety. The plants are large and vigorous and the foliage very healthy, shading the summer 

 fruit well. The berries are large and attractive although somewhat irregular in shape. Very 

 similar to Premier in quality and firmness. Compared with other everbearers Mastodon is pro- 

 ductive during the summer and fall, and the spring crop is very heavy, in fact, the spring crop 

 is so fine and the berries so large Mastodon would be very valuable for its spring crop alone. 



Typical Cluster of Gem 

 in Mid-Season 



MASTODON 



GEM 



Although Gem has often been better with us than Mastodon it does not 

 seem to be as widely adapted to soil and climatic conditions. Where Gem 

 is successful, it is a mighty fine variety, making plants quite freely and is 

 very productive of medium large, almost round berries, which are very uniform, bright and at- 

 tractive. The berries are more uniform and more Arm than Mastodon and ship very well. Gem 

 has all the desirable characteristics for the home garden or local market, and this, plus its 

 exceptional firmness and ability to hold its light color even when overripe, will please the 

 most critical commercial grower, even though his market is at considerable distance. 



WAYZATA 



The finest flavored everbearer. Makes few if any runner 

 plants, this is desirable for hill culture but makes propa- 

 gation difficult and prices high. Plants are large and vig- 

 orous, usually stooling and forming many crowns. The berries are large, uniform and very at- 

 tractive, a light red and color evenly. High dessert quality and unusually fine flavor. Pro- 

 ductive.
