<jirow your own strawberrle.** at a co.st of less than Ic a quart. Plant strawberries 
early. Some varieties make too many runners. Let only enough runners set to make 
4 to G new plants to the square foot. This way you will get more and larger berries. 
My strawberries are grown only for the plants and not for fruit. This means you get 
only young, healthy, vigorous plants. Free Culture directions with each order. 
3507 Shumway’s Giant Everbearing Mastodon 
The Most Delicious Large Sweet Tasty Berry in Cultivation. Produces Fresh 
Luscious Berries from Jtme to November 
Mastodon succeeds under practically all climatic and soil conditions, even producing 
large crops in dry climates. My thrifty plants set in the spring will produce a crop of ber¬ 
ries in 90 days and continue through summer and fall until stopped by freezing weather. 
Eighteen or twenty berries will often fill a quart box. They are rich, glossy red, of firm a,nd 
solid texture, and delicious in fiavor. A small planting will keep the home table supplied 
with berries throughout the summer and fall. A large planting will reap hundreds of dol¬ 
lars profit for the farmer. 25 plants, 62 cts.; 50 for 95 cts.; 100 for $1.65; 500 for $6.00; 
1000 for $11.00, prepaid.
