Mastodon 
EVERBEARING 
For the past ten years Mastodon 
has been the undisputed leader in 
the Everbearing field. During this 
time it has been planted by more 
growers and produced bigger crops 
with more profit than any other 
Everbearer ever introduced. 
Three Crops Instead 
of One 
June berries require two seasons to pro- 
duce a crop of fruit; one to grow plants 
for a fruiting row and another to produce 
the crop of fruit. The Mastodon begins 
bearing about 90 days after planting, and 
has ripe berries and lots of them until 
freezing weather the same season planted. 
The following spring it bears a crop al- 
most as big as the average June variety, 
and after a rest of about 60 days starts right in with its third crop 
of fruit. Therefore, it costs no more to produce three crops 
of Mastodon than it does to produce one with ordinary kinds. 
Large in Size and Yield 
Mastodon berries are exceptionally large and uniform in size 
from beginning to end of season. It is a monster in size of berry, 
single berries often measuring 5 inches around while 18 to 27 
of them will often fill a quart box. It is a tremendous producer 
of these fine berries, usually producing a quart per plant the first year set, and in most cases even more. 
Easy to Grow 
It is easy to grow this variety, as it bears well on most any type of soil, and its large plant, with a fine long 
root system is a great drought resister, and easy to make grow. A hundred plants of Mastodon will produce 
plenty of berries for a family of three and the enjoyment to be obtained from growing these berries affords an 
experience unlike anything else found in gardening. The commercial grower will find Mastodon with its large 
yields and fancy quality readily salable at top market prices all summer and fall. 
Our Mastodon are grown from the original heavy'producing strain and every plant is guaranteed absolutely 
true-tomame. Do not be misled into paying fancy prices for this variety, when you can purchase original strain 
Mastodon at our low price.

CHAMPION 
Until the introduction of the Mastodon, Champion was the leading Ever' 
bearer and is still preferred by many, especially for home use, as the flavor 
is rich and pleasing. It is a heavy producer of small to medium sized ber' 
ries, a beautiful dark red to the center. Plants are medium in size and 
thrifty, but do not make many runners except under very favorable condi' 
tions. Recommended only for home use, where quality is more important 
than the size of the fruit. 
Gentlemen; Flint, Mich., April 20, 1935 
I want to take this opportunity of thanking you for the fine stock 
you shipped to me even if part of it was replacement. I want to state 
further that I have dealt, in a small way, with a number of nursery 
houses in the past few years and you have given me the best treatment 
I have received from any and I want to again thank you for it.
