3 FULL CROPS 
IN 18 MONTHS 
3 BIG PROFITS 
When we tell you that Mastodon does produce three full crops in 18 months it is the 
largest berry grown; bears in 90 days after planting; is an excellent shipper; brings 
more per quart; and is a delicious home use berry—you probably won't believe it 
unless you have grown them yourself—and we don't blame you, but read what other 
folks have to say. 
Mastodon does not require special soil, care or petting. Sell for 30c to 50c per quart. 
Mastodon sells like "hot cakes" on roadside stands. Commences to bear in 90 days after 
you set them. We picked 181 quarts of berries from 1 V 2 acres on November 1st, and 
on November 2nd the ground was frozen solid. This frost is what stopped the Mastodon. 
Light frost will not injure them at all. 
We often have folks ask us "How many quarts will 100 Mastodon give us a week?" 
We have watched our Mastodon fields this summer, and find that they will bear 3 
quarts 2 times a week. If it is cool, they will not do quite so well. It takes about 8000 
plants to set an acre, so that makes 480 quarts per week per acre, and sell for 25c per 
quart, making $120.00 per acre per week.

It is the largest everbearing berry grown. Mastodon is the most prolific, the finest, the most 
beautiful berry with the real Strawberry flavor. It is a berry that bears early and late; one that 
can be picked all spring and summer. Many of the berries grow as large as a silver dollar, and are 
just as perfect. Mastodon is the real marvel in Strawberries; nothing like it has ever been known. 
Plants that were set in May this year have produced as high as 3 quarts per plant. A field of this 
Mastodon in bearing is a sight never to be forgotten.

DEAR SIRS: 
I want to report to you the success I have had with the Everbearing 
Strawberries I purchased of you last April. First, the entire shipment 
came through in excellent shape—Order No. 9493. 
Almost 60 days to the day, from the time we set them out, we had our 
first shortcake—that was the 10th of June. Now they are blooming again. 
I picked a small handful of the first ripe berries of the second crop, yester¬ 
day, July 18th. 
The first crop yielded approximately 2^/2 gal. from the 200 plants set out, 
and we lost four plants out of that number from injury and accidents 
after setting. 
They hare grown profusely, borne well, and yet have put out more than 
1000 runner plants. However, it has been an excellent growing season. 
We are more than pleased with plants and service. 
Sincerely, 
REV. CAREY CHRISTY
