extra large root system and crowns. Any practical farmer or gardener can appreci¬

3 Full Crops in Eighteen Months 
When planted this spring, this wonderful variety will produce a crop in July and 
continue bearing until late in the fall. This year we had the first killing freeze Novem¬ 
ber 5th. At that time our Mastodon were loaded with berries and blossoms. The 
second spring the plants begin to fruit with the June varieties and continue on during 
the season. 
The large size, fine quality and delicious flavor make the Mastodon a marvel of 
Nature. No wonder the demand for plants has increased from year to year. The 
demand for Mastodon exceeds the supply every year. Avoid disappointment by order¬ 
ing early. Your plants will be reserved and shipped to you at the proper planting 
time. For prices, see page 31. 
Mr. L. S. Lawson, of Ohio, Writes: Bought 
5000 Plants, Wants 20,000 Next Spring, 
Gets 25c Quart, After Frost—Still Picking 
Mr. Wm. Westhauser, Payne, Ohio. 
Dear Sir: 
We were sorry not to see you when at 
Sawyer some weeks ago. 
We visited other nurseries on our trip to 
yours, but easily decided that the best pros¬ 
pects for strong, healthy strawberry plants 
for next spring planting were found in your 
fields. 
The 5000 plants from you last spring are 
now a beautiful fruiting lot, and in spite of 
the fact that one week ago ice froze here 
more than one-fourth of an inch thick, and 
two freezes since, we are still picking large, 
ripe berries that sell at 25c per quart. 
Our Mastodon Everbearers from your 
nursery simply will not quit bearing. 
We are now preparing two and one-half 
acres for next spring planting and certainly 
will be back to you for plants.

Dear Sirs: 
We would like to have you send us your 
new catalog. 
We raised some very fine berries from the 
Mastodon plants we bought of you last 
spring. 700 quarts from the 1000 plants. 
We will set out more this spring.

Everbearing 
An improved Progres¬ 
sive that is raised exten¬ 
sively in some sections of 
the country. While the 
berries are not quite as 
large as the Mastodon it 
has a very good flavor and 
produces a good crop year 
after year. For prices, see

Get Started Right with a Heavy Fruiting 
Strain 
Since the vigor and energy of a plant is stored in the roots and crown, and 
since these plants have been improved each year by careful selection, such as 
we practice, you can readily appreciate that you get the best at no extra cost if you 
order your Mastodon plants from us. We sincerely believe that you cannot buy better 
plants no matter under what trade name advertised or price you pay, and we are 
willing to stake our reputation on the above statement.
