Everbearing Strawberries 
Mastodon 
The Giant Everbearer 
PLANT MASTODON THIS YEAR. Why plant 
common sorts when with Mastodon you can get 
three crops in the same time you would get one 
with the June-bearing varieties? Our selected 
Mastodon bear a heavy crop the same summer 
planted, a crop the following spring that equals 
or surpasses any of the June-Bearers that we 
grow, and a heavy crop that following fall. Why 
wait a full year before getting returns? 
A variety such as Mastodon cannot be adequ¬ 
ately described in words. This berry, as a com¬ 
mon or June-bearing sort, is so firm that it will 
carry hundreds of miles in perfect condition and 
command the highest prices. The big green calyx 
of this wonder variety gives it an appearance that 
only Mastodon has, and these facts, coupled with 
the extreme large size, the tremendous bearing 
capacity and its valuable everbearing character¬ 
istics, readily show why you should include Masto¬ 
don in your order this year. Others of our grow¬ 
ers are making big money on this variety, and 
the farmer who plants one or more acres now for 
a June-bearing crop should get the cream of the 
profits in the future. 
This Man Was Glad He 
Ordered from Dass 
Dass Nursery Co.: 
The 1,000 Mastodon Strawberries arrived 
quite safe, and I am writing to tell you I am 
very pleased with them; also I must say they 
were packed wonderfully neat. I have them 
all planted and they all look very healthy. I 
am sure I will have good results, if not, it will 
not be your fault.

Wayzata 
1 1 1 The Honey Sweet Strawberry 
A New Everbearer that is different. We might 
call it a real “Hill Berry” for the reason that it 
does not produce more than three to four run¬ 
ner to a plant. A decided advantage to the grow¬ 
er, as he does not have to remove first blossoms 
or runners. Each rooted crown set out this spring 
starts multiplying new crowns at once, until It 
has up to 20 or 25 crowns to a plant. It has ripe- 
berries fully a month ahead of other everbearers. 
These plants are not affected by wet weather 
which usually ruins everbearers by hindering 
pollenization. 
Berries are extremely large, very dark red, de¬ 
licious sugary flavor. Heavy producers, continu¬ 
ing to bear long after other everbearers have 
been stopped by frosts. Try some this year, and 
we know you will be back next year with a large 
order for Wayzata. 
Gem 
For High Quality—High Yield 
Discovered by Frank J. Keplinger on his fruit 
farm in north central Michigan, the parent plant 
from which this remarkable strain has been pro¬ 
pagated apparently was one of those miracles 
that happen in the berry industry once in a life¬ 
time. 
In an old patch of Everbearers there was a 
great, thrifty, husky plant with luxuriant dark 
green foliage, sparkling with vitality—loaded with 
beautiful bright red berries and growing lustily in 
the poorest soil in the whole field. The original 
Gem plants and 12 runner plants produced 25 
quarts of berries and over 200 new plants th® 
first season in new raw muck where other Straw¬ 
berry plants were unable even to survive.
