Mastodon ^ or a ^ aroun d worth no variety has yet appeared to challenge 

 the value of Mastodon as the supreme Everbearer. Other va- 

 rieties may equal or even slightly excel Mastodon in some particular, but Mas- 

 todon is good enough in all respects to stand out among the Everbearers just as 

 Premier has done among the spring bearing kinds. Here are some comparisons 

 and facts about Mastodon. 



Size. The berries are larger than most other 

 varieties, being equaled only by Super Giant. 



Heavy Crops. Mastodon will bear a heavier 

 crop than any other Everbearing variety. 



Firmness. The berries are firm enough to 

 ship or haul moderate distances to market. 



Appearance. The berries are handsome in 

 appearance, due to the large size, rich red 

 color, and bright green caps. No other Ever- 

 bearers except Super Giant show up as well 

 in the package. 



Quality. Mastodon berries are very good in 

 quality. Perhaps not quite as good as the 

 Champion, but superior to it in every other 

 respect. 



Vigor. A vigorous plant growth is essential 

 to big crops and big berries. In this respect 



Mastodon stands out head and shoulders above 

 all the other Everbearing varieties. It makes 

 strong, vigorous growth which will support 

 and mature abundant crops of fruit. 



Spring Crop. Aside from its other valuable 

 qualities, Mastodon is really an excellent spring 

 fruiting variety. It would be worth planting 

 even though it were not an Everbearer. This 

 fact, as pointed out on the preceding page, is 

 very important when trying out the possibili- 

 ties of the Mastodon as a money crop. Even 

 if it should fail in the summer and fall pro- 

 duction and profit, the spring crop might easily 

 prove the big item from the standpoint of 

 profit. 



We have an excellent stock of strong Masto- 

 don plants this season and we know you will 

 be pleased with them. Price list, page 31.
