A Basket of Our Famous Mastodon Everbearing - . 
MASTODON--The World’s Best E^erbearer 
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 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 hund¬ 
reds of miles in perfect condition and command top price in any market. Mastodon 
begins fruiting 90 days after the plants are set and keep right on till hard freezing 
weather in the fall, fruits again with the standard varieties the next spring and after 
a lay-off of two or three 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 Mastodon plants that can be found. We 
sold hundreds of thousands of these plants last year and have a fine supply for the 
coming season. We recommend Mastodon for a sure quick money crop. 
LUCKY STRIKE (Everbearing). Becoming very popular with some growers for 
home use and local market proving superior to Champion or Progressive. I do not 
think it equal to Mastodon. A persistent yielder of medium to large berries of very 
good quality and appearance; makes plants freely and is a vigorous grower. Try a 
few plants in your garden this year. 
JAMES VAN BUREN OF NEW YORK, says: “Enclosed find order for 500 Mastodon 
Strawberry Plants. The Mastodon yon sent me last spring were A No. 1 and produced 
enough for my own use from July 24th to December 2nd. Of course with the short 
days and lack of sunshine the last berries w T ere not much colored, in fact, the very last 
were frozen solid but were eatible when stewed. The Mastodon strawberry fills a long 
felt want in the family garden.
