MASTODON EVERBEARING 
For the past ten years the Mastodon has been 
the best of the everbearing strawberries. Berries 
are very large and keep good size until end of sea¬ 
son. Mastodon does well on land that is not too light 
or too heavy. Our land is mostly light sandy loam. 
But we plow under lots of rye for green manure. This 
holds the moisture. We set the plants in April, keep 
the blossoms picked off until July 4th. They started 
to fruit the 1st of August, and we picked until mid¬ 
dle of October. The extra warm and dry weather we 
had last August ripened the berries and made the 
season shorter, as we usually pick until last of 
October. If you have never grown Mastodon or Gem, 
plant some this Spring. 150 to 200 plants will supply 
a good sized family with all the berries they can use 
from August until October with a second crop the 
following Spring. Fruit growers and farmers that 
have a roadside stand should plant some of the Ever- 
bearing varieties. They will help to bring trade to 
your stand. I want to invite everyone interested in 
strawberries to come to my farm and see the Masto¬ 
don and Gem in fruit this Fall. I intend to plant 
some in the hill system, some in the narrow row and 
some in the wide matted row so you can see which is 
the best way to grow them for fruit. Come anytime 
after August 10th until the last of September. All are 
welcome.
