THE 
GIANT 
MASTODON 
EVERBEARING 
We have grown the Mastodon Everbearing 
for 10 years. This World’s WONDER BERRY 
has stood the test of time. It well deserves its 
name, The MASTODON. Bears fruit that 
actually approaches the size of small apples. 
It will produce a wonderful crop, 10 months out 
of 18. Berries will hold their mammoth size 
throughout the whole season. Just as large 
in November as in July. The huge size of the 
berries and the mammoth yield of each plant 
is truly marvelous. Mastodon is the most 
sturdy and vigorous plant maker. It is an up¬ 
right growing plant with enormous fruit stems. 
It has an unsurpassed root system, which en¬ 
ables them to bring its loads of large fruit to 
maturity in dry season as under adverse con¬ 
ditions. 
Some of our berries measured 1% inches 
wide, 2 inches long and 5 Y 2 inches around the 
berry and weighed one ounce. Real strawber¬ 
ries. Nine berries have topped a quart box. 
The largest berries on record and the nearest 
perfect in every way, size, color, sweetness, 
flavor and hardiness. Mastodon has a record 
of 5,520 quarts per acre. Sure an ideal berry. 
Easy to sell from its appearance alone. A 
fancy berry in the truest sense of the word, 
which greatly adds to its market for top prices. 
We can safely say that we grow and sell 
more Mastodon Everbearing Strawberries 
around New Buffalo, Mich., and on the highway 
to roadside trade than any other place in the 
United States. Over 2,500 quarts of Everbear¬ 
ing were picked the week of October 25th. We 
sold at our roadside stand 280 quarts in five 
hours. Out of the eight Everbearing’s that we 
list in our catalog every one is good and their 
true value cannot be appreciated until you see 
them fruiting after July 1st, the same year 
plants are set. Why plant corn, wheat or try 
and raise hogs at a loss when you can have a 
full crop of Everbearing Strawberries in 60 
days after your plants are set in the spring all 
in the same year. MASTODON is the best Big 
Quick Money Crop to plant. 
Our customers have made from $60.00 to 
$125.00 per 1,000 plants set. One of our cus¬ 
tomers last year bought 135,000 Mastodon Ev¬ 
erbearing plants. Just one party. WHY? Be¬ 
cause Berry growers are planting heavy that 
have a good market for out of season straw¬ 
berries. It means big returns from a small in¬ 
vestment of plants on the least amount of 
ground. Our records show that a 7-year average 
we made $90.81 per 1,000 plants set. The quart 
run was from 186 to 364 quarts of Strawberries 
picked per 1,000 plants set. Order your plants 
early this year. Owing to the very dry season 
over the whole country plants will be in big de¬ 
mand. The plant crop is very short. Our supply 
of plants is the best we have had in years due 
to irrigation and lot of late fall rains at plant 
making time. Grown on good sandy loam, which 
means lots of extra fine deep rooted plants. Our 
plants are all certified TRUE TO NAME and first 
class plants at reasonable prices. Mastodon 
E lants will be tied with red string. Do not wait, 
ut order EARLY.
