Gentlemen: l am sending you an order early 
with prices according to your 19} 5 catalog. 
1 notice you are higher this year, However I 
believe that your nursery has the real stuff. 
I received a small order from you last year 
and in there some Mastodon Strawberry 
plants. The strawberries were a surprise to 
everyone in the neighborhood. We had berries 
all summer and until frost. 
F. F. 
An idea for the city dwell¬ 
er—berries for use grown 
along the hedge. 
No berry has ever equalled the almost unbelievable records of Mastodon with its enormous berries of 
excellent quality, color and flavor and its plants of incredible productiveness. A real Everbearing suc¬ 
cess yielding as much as the common varieties in June and producing all summer and on very late into 
fall. The very heavy foliage protects the fruit from heavy frosts and often gives you strawberries for 
the table as late as Thanksgiving Day. Berries unusually rich in color and flavor. 
Field after field of Mastodon Strawberries testify to its marvelous productiveness and money making 
ability. Plant for commercial use and for a really dependable fall money maker. 
Krider Mastodon plants are guaranteed to be the true strain grown and selected with great care and 
cuiled to take out all weak or unproductive plants. You get the best your money can buy when you 
order here.

NEW EVERBEARER OF 
GREAT PROMISE 
GEM 
PRICE 
The "Nth Degree of Strawberry Perfection’ in size, color, 
flavor, productivity and growing habit. A mouthful of 
melting flavorful strawberry deliciousncss. And the New 
Gem holds that flavor from the first spring ripening until 
cold weather, never getting the grassy flavor of other varie¬ 
ties. Fruit is very large and uniform from the first picking 
until the last and so firm that it will stand an unusual 
amount of handling and hauling. Even 3 6 hours after 
picking New Gem is in good market condition, firm and 
solid. 
Very hardy, drought resistant and not subject to leaf 
blight. Good plant makers on any soil and although plants 
themselves are somewhat smaller than Senator Dunlaps they 
are every bit as prolific. A marvelous spring variety which 
produces large crops the first season and continues thruout 
the season. Berries ripen all the way to their tips and 
redden clear through.
