Little Betty Shivers enjoying Mastodon berries on the 22nd day of 
November. It is from these beds that your 1937 orders will be filled. 
MASTODON 
This variety has been the King of the Everbearers in the past 
but if the Gem does as well for others as it did for me 2 years I be¬ 
lieve it will be the Mastodon’s equal if not even superior in some 
respects. Mastodon plants are large but only under favorable condi¬ 
tions does it bed heavily. The berries are large, with a rich red color 
and green caps. They are firm enough to ship a moderate distance. 
If it should fail to be profitable as a Fall crop, it usually proves 
an excellent Spring fruiting variety. This gives you two chances for 
a profit. My plants have grown under ideal conditions. Place your 
order early, for there has been a shortage of this variety for the past 
year or two.
