A tempting treat most anytime, strawberries hove 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. 



GEM 



GEM shares the popularity 

 spotlight with Mastodon 



^ spotiignt witn Mastodon in 



**] many areas because it sets a 



q really worthwhile fall crop if 



not allowed to l)ed too thick. 

 It is adapted to a wider range 

 of soils than most everl;earers 

 J and is often successful where 

 -^ others fail. Fruit sizes up 

 well, although not as large as 

 Mastodon, but tlavor is super- 

 ior under adverse weather 

 conditions. 



GEM is an amazing plant 

 maker and can be depended 

 upon to set runner plants that 

 become hardy, vigorous speci- 

 mens and producers of fruit 

 in an unusually short time.

 EVERBEARING VARIETY 



MASTODON is grown successfully 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 it. Fall bear- 

 ing qualities of this double-duty strawberry have made many friends and provided large pro- 

 fits to berry growers.

GEMZATA 



TOPS IN FLAVOR 



This cross of Gem and Wayzata resembles Gem in appearance and vigor and has the fine 

 flavor of Wayzata, considered best flavored everbearer by many authorities. Does not make 

 new plants as freely as Gem due to characteristics inherited from Wayzata but plants are 

 hardy and disease resistant. 



Heavy producer of light red berries somewhat larger than Waj^zata. Firm fruit holds 

 beauty and quality well after picking. Production good through summer and fall with a fine 

 crop in spring.
