New Gem Everbearing Strawberry 
The New Gem is the most outstanding intro¬ 
duction since Mastodon and its many fine 
qualities will soon make it the leading market 
variety of Everbearers. 
Gem has every other Everbearer beaten for quality 
and flavor. The fruit is well shaped and uniformly 
large. It is sparkling red in color, rich, and about 
the sweetest berry we have tasted. Unsurpassed for 
keeping qualities and the firmness of the fruit will 
permit its being handled for long-distance shipping, 
even during hot weather. Fruit buyers last season 
topk Gem ahead of any other Everbearer. 
i The plants are so sturdy that it is not necessary to 
/remove the first blooms. Plant this spring and have 
ripe berries in just a few weeks. Gem has held up 
remarkably well during the past two dry seasons. 
Growers who have been dissatisfied with Everbear¬ 
ing Strawberries will find this variety to be well named 
as it truly is a “Gem.” Don’t fail to plant them this 
year and cash in while it is still new on the market. 
PRICES: 25 for 90c; 50 for $1.60; 100 for $2.85, 
postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 100 for $2.45; 250 
for $5.00; 500 for $9.25; 1,000 for $17.50. 
Mastodon Everbearing 
Mastodon has been producing its enormous crop of 
big berries during the summer and fall months for the 
past 16 years, proving that the prolific and everbear¬ 
ing habits that have made it so popular are perma¬ 
nently fixed. 
Mastodon is a great money maker, as it will produce 
a paying crop with just ordinary care. It succeeds un¬ 
der practically all climatic and soil conditions, even 
producing large crops in dry climates. Our thrifty 
plants set in the spring will produce a crop of berries 
in 90 days and continue through summer and fall un¬ 
til stopped by freezing weather. 
Eighteen or twenty berries will often fill a quart box. 
They are rich glossy red, of firm and solid texture, and 
delicious in flavor. A small planting will keep the 
home table supplied with berries throughout the sum¬ 
mer and fall. A large planting will reap hundreds of 
dollars for the farmer.
