a second crop the next Spring. They should then be 
plowed under, as they don’t fruit enough to bother 
with the second Fall. For best results a new bed 
should be set out every Spring. Fruit growers and 
farmers that have a roadside stand, should plant 
some of the everbearing varieties. They will bring 
trade to your stand. 
I want to invite everyone interested in straw¬ 
berries to come to my farm and see the Mastodon 
and Gem in fruit this Fall. Come anytime after Au¬ 
gust 10th until last of September. “All Are Wel¬ 
come.”

GEM EVERBEARING “PER.” 
Introduced to the trade in 1934, Gem makes a 
very vigorous growth of medium sized plants. The 
foliage is very healthy with no leaf spot. The berries 
average large in size, are bright red in color, very 
showy and attractive in the box, and very firm. They 
stand a wet spell better than the Mastodon as they 
don’t have so heavy foliage. The berries dry off 
better after rain. The Gem does well grown in the 
hill system or narrow row. For the narrow row set 
plants 18 inches apart in the row, with rows 3y2 ft. 
apart and let each plant make six to eight runner 
plants. A good berry for home use or market. If 
the Mastodon is not entirely satisfactory with you, 
try some Gem this Spring.
