Outstanding New Everbearer 
Gem is a direct offspring of the old Pro¬ 
gressive Everbearer noted for its wonderful 
flavor and productiveness. It was discovered 
by Frank Keplinger, of Central Michigan, 
growing in his field of Progressive. Introduc¬ 
ed to the trade in the spring of 1934 Gem was 
immediately recognized as being a real find 
and is now the most talked of variety in the 
Everbearing field. 
Makes Many Runners 
Unlike all Everbearers formerly introduced 
Gem is not a shy plant maker. Under ordinary 
conditions and on average soil Gem will 
make a heavy fruiting row in one season, be¬ 
ing equal to the best June-bearing varieties in 
this respect. 
Wonderful Size and Apearance 
Gem Berries are all extra large, no small 
ones to bother with, and will hold their size 
throughout the fruiting season. Berries ripen 
evenly, no green tips, and are a bright red all 
the way through. Uniform in size, 
shape and color, they take the eye 
and sell readily at fancy prices.
