MASTODON 
When all the votes are counted, Mastodon is found to be still the most popular of all the 
Everbearing varieties. It has stood the test of a great many years and STILL LEADS. Our 
own record of plant sales in 1940 showed Mastodon ahead of all others. 
One of the reasons for Mastodon being so well liked is a vigorous plant growth, with strong, 
rugged, individual plants. These can survive and start and make a good growth under unfavor¬ 
able conditions where other varieties less rugged, might fail. This fact alone helps make 
Mastodon almost a universal Everbearer, doing well in nearly all sections from Virginia north. 
Normally Mastodon plants are very productive of large, well shaped, good quality berries. 
These are pleasing to the home gardener and profitable for the commercial grower. 
The spring crop of Mastodon is a dandy. It is a good midseason spring cropper and quite 
likely to be profitable entirely apart from the summer and fall crop. 
Take our advice and set some Mastodon plants for berries this summer and fall. Mr. T. A, 
Forseman of Mercer Co., N. J'., did just that and here is his report. “I set out 50 plants of 
Mastodon and 50 plants of Gem. Last summer I had a bountiful supply of berries. The Mastodon 
produced better than the Gem, so I am ordering all Mastodon this year. It is a pleasure to grow 
such healthy plants.” Another report, from a midwestern State, reads, “I want to tell you 
the latter part of July on I would pick as high as a pint 
I never tasted as good a flavored berry in my life.” 
Pennsylvania is a great state for nice strawberry gardens 
George of Adams Co. shows that he has been enjoying 
about my 25 plants of Mastodon. From 
of berries every other day until frost. 
—Mrs. Anna Saffell, Belmont Co., Ohio, 
and this report from Mr. Charles H. 
his Mastodon. “The Mastodon plants we got from you several years 
satisfaction for our own home use. We have been having berries in 
November as well as in spring and summer.” Price list of plants, page 35.

Everbearer. It is still the 
sweetest of all. The plants 
are very productive al¬ 
though the berries are 
rather small. Champion is not as strong a 
grower as the Mastodon or Green Mountain, but 
has done well in most states and is one of the 
best in the South. Sweetness and productiveness 
are the strong points of this variety. Price list,

Gemzata 
A new Everbearer, said to> 
be a cross of Gem and Way- 
zata. It looks good. The 
berries with us this year 
had the light attractive color and firmness of 
Gem, together with much of the high quality 
of Wayzata. Plant growth healthy. Fair plant 
maker. We have a small stock of plants which 
we will sell at $1.00 per dozen as long as they 
last.
