New Gem Strawberry 
Never- before have I seen a 
strawberry that combined all 
the good points of each variety. This is 
certainly the high-powered modern 
strawberry. After trying all of the June 
berries, studying carefully seven other 
everbearers, I unquestionably tell you 
Gem is the first prize winner. It not only 
has all of the good features of the very 
choice June varieties, but it has the 
added ability to produce fruit all summer 
and fall. 
NEW GEM 
Everbearing 
Strawberry 
The Miracle 
Berry of the 
Ag© 
petizing that you can almost taste it before it reaches your mouth, 
with very few small seeds. They have a rich sweet flavor. 
The fruit on Gem is so bright and ap- 
The berries are large, round and solid 
This is a strawberry that does not need to be pampered after planting. Leave on all of the blooms and 
all of the runners. The plants are so vigorous that they will start working for you right away as soon as 
you get them. Gem is perfectly hardy. It makes a wide fruiting row with from 10 to 15 fruit stems on each 
plant. Every berry matures to full size. Gem is 100% a perfect pollinizer. You will find no shrivels or 
hard green ends on Gem. Plant them this spring and have ripe berries this summer.

fruiting crop every year. The flavor is delicious and

FAIRFAX. A Great New Berry. Fairfax was orig¬ 
inated by the United States Department of Agricul¬ 
ture in 1923 but has been available only the last five 
years. The Fairfax produces lots of plants, besides, it 
stood up and fruited well all through the drouth. The 
strawberries are real jewels, the color of a magnifi¬ 
cent ruby.

reigned king of the commercial strawberries for years. 
They are brilliant, attractive in shape and have such 
a delicious flavor. The crops off of Premier is unbe¬ 
lievably large. Late bearing. Plant with Aroma.

as well as Blakemore so is a wonderful market berry. 
Keeps its shape and color for canning too. 
GIANT MASTODON. The Mastodon has been Amer¬ 
ica’s favorite everbearing strawberry for ten years. 
Mastodon means extra large, and these beautiful, 
dark red, shiny berries certainly live up to their name. 
If you plant Mastodon early this spring you will have 
berries in three months. They should be in every 
garden and on every farm. 
DORSETT. An extra early, vigorous offspring of 
Premier. The plants withstand drouth and excessive 
moisture better than practically any other straw¬ 
berry. Poor soil won’t even hold them back. They 
AROMA. An early berry and a good one. A main crop 
berry for south of the middle of Missouri. 
SENATOR DXJNIiAP. Here is a mid-season, self- 
pollinizing strawberry that is the old reliable. It 
thrives everywhere and produces big crops on all 
soils. The fruit is a. delicious dark red, always solid 
and rich in flavor. Through the central west it will 
succeed on all kinds of soil. 
BLAKEMORE. Although many new varieties have 
come on the market, Blakemore is still the favorite 
of many a fruit grower. They know that Blakemore 
will stand up and succeed through all kinds of 
weather conditions and all kinds of soil. The amount 
of a crop is always heavy, the berries are beautiful, 
pointed and mature evenly in shape 
and bright color.
