A Wonderful 
New 
Everbearer 
A Direct 
Offspring of the 
Old Progressive 
Everbearer 
We bought our foundation stock last spring direct from 
the introducer, Mr Frank Kipplinger, a Central Michigan 
plant grower, who found this plant amidst his Progressive 
Everbearing patch. The berries on this particular plant

For two years every plant of this 
variety was carefully guarded. Fin¬ 
ally the secret became known and 
hundreds of offers were received 
from growers and nurserymen. 
However, not any of the plants 
were allowed to leave the place, un¬ 
til last spring. That is when we 
bought our supply, direct. 
FOLIAGE. For an Everbearer 
GEM is a heavy plant-maker and 
produces a larger fruiting row than 
any other Everbearer we know of. 
The plants are very hardy, not sub¬ 
ject to leaf blight. 
SIZE AND APPEARANCE. 
The berries are large size, very uni¬ 
form, and held their size even 
throughout the dry weather we had 
last summer. They have the appear¬ 
ance of an oversize Premier berry. 
The color is a deeper red, very 
glossy, and they have a very fancy 
appearance. 
FLAVOR. The berries are very 
sweet and have a flavor like the 
Progressive variety. The flesh of 
the berry is very fine grained and 
red clear through. Very little sugar 
is necessary to bring out the flavor. 
FIRMNESS. The berries are ex¬ 
tremely firm and stand long dis¬ 
tance shipping well. If you are in 
the market for an outstanding firm 
and fancy Everbearer try GEM this 
year. The supply of course is very 
limited, as only a few nursery firms 
are in possession of the great new 
variety. Play safe, order now. For 
prepaid prices see page 31. 
CLUB ORDERS 
are welcome; last year 
one lot o f growers 
bought collectively 68,- 
000 Mastodons from us. 
On the start they tried 
several nurseries for 
comparison—after they 
received our first ship¬ 
ment of 10,000 plants 
they placed the re¬ 
mainder of their order 
with us.
