A Basket of our Famous Mastodon Everbearing 



MASTODON--The World's Best Everbearer 



We hope you will plant some of our heavy yielding strain of 

 guaranteed true to name Mastodon. We grew the largest crop 

 of berries from this strain of Mastodon we have ever had the 

 pleasure to pick and the demand was so great we were unable to 

 supply our trade with these large improved berries. 



Mastodon is a strong, vigorous grower, producing big, juicy, sparkling 

 red berries of the most delicious flavor, with a bright green cap and are firm 

 enough to carry hundreds of miles in perfect condition and command top prices 

 in any market. Mastodon begins fruiting 90 days after the plants are set 

 and keep right on till hard freezing weather in the fall, fruit again with the 

 standard varieties the next spring and after a lay off of 2 or 3 weeks start 

 fruiting again and with careful attention will produce for another season 

 or possibly longer. We have selected our plants for the past six years and 

 now feel we have the best Malstodon plants that can be found. We sold' 

 hundreds of thousands of these plants last year and have a fine supply for the 

 comiing season. 



CHAMPION. This everbearer was introduced in 1917 by a Mr. Lubke 

 of Michigan and has been extensively planted, and so far we have heard noth- 

 ing but praise for them. It also has a very good record but not as good as 

 Mastodon. 5,632 quarts have been produced from one acre in 223 days from 

 the time the plants were set. The fruit is not firm enough for distant 

 market but is of excellent flavor and fine for home garden and local market. 

 Champion is a good bedder in most soils.
