New GEM Everbearer 
Commences to Bear 60 Days After Plants are Set 
Something New in Everbearing Strawberries 
Gem—A direct offspring of the old Progressive Everbearing Strawberry. 
Gem was discovered four years ago by a Frank Keplinger of Central Michigan. Mr. 
Keplinger found a single plant growing in his Progressive field. This plant was so much 
better that it was guarded, and planted by itself. The Gem berries are above 
the average in size. 
Gem has a flavor like the Progressive or Champion. Not much sugar needed 
when you eat Gem. 
Firmness—Firmness is what is needed in Strawberries if they are to stand 
shipping. Gem has this firmness. Next to Wayzata they are the most firm 
Strawberry we have ever grown. 
Disease Resistant—We fail to find any disease on Gem. 
Productive—We find them to be as productive as the Pro- 
gressive or Champion. They are, however, much larger in size. 
Have only a limited supply of plants to offer. Order Early.

This new variety was originated by the United States Department of Agriculture. It is a 
scientific cross between the PREMIER and the Royal Sovereign, an English variety. 
Dorsett is one of the firmest berries known, and one of the heaviest producers, having 
produced at the rate of 6640 quarts per acre in the East. The foliage is a very dark 
green and holds this fine color way through the fruiting season. Dorsett berries average 
very large in size, even a little larger than Premier. Color is of light red, and will 
hold this light red color long after picking. This probably will be a big factor 
when you market them on the wholesale markets, as that is what the wholesale 
fruit buyers are looking for in the past few years. Light red berries always appear 
to be in better shape than do dark red ones. Be sure to try a few of the plants this 
We are sure it will be one of the leaders in a very short time.
