MASTODON 
“When the frost is on the pumpkin 
and the fodder’s in the shock’’ you can 
still pick luscious ripe strawberries from 
your own garden. Later than that, too, 
as the husky dark green leaves cover 
many of the berries and give them pro¬ 
tection until actual freezing tempera¬ 
tures come on. And just think! These 
plants of Mastodon, set in April 1941 
will start bearing in August and Sept¬ 
ember 1941, only a few weeks after the 
plants are set. No other fruit crop r an 
touch that for quick results! 
Mastodon makes a vigorous rugged 
plant growth, and is very popular in 
all the middle and northern states. It’s 
a good midseason berry for the regular 
spring crop, too. 
FAIRFAX is definitely on the MUST 
list! 
In many places where Mastodon, or 
other good Everbearing varieties like 
Gem and Green Mountain have done 
well, they have become a valued cash 
crop. Extra money is taken in for the 
surplus from the home garden, or 
larger plantings are made for a real 
commercial crop. They’re always easy 
to sell! And more important to you 
THEY ARE EASY TO GROW. ' 
FAIRFAX 
ROYAL QUALITY! 
“Have you any more of those large dark berries? They’re wonder¬ 
ful!’’ “My customers won’t have other varieties since I started 
growing Fairfax.” “There is nothing in our garden as popular with 
the family as those two rows of Fairfax strawberries.” Comments 
like these come from buyers, growers and housewives who want the 
best and know that they have it in Fairfax strawberries. 
Fairfax stands AT the top in qual¬ 
ity—it is NEAR the top in other 
ways. 
Makes plenty of plants for a good 
fruiting bed. No variety has healthier 
foliage. 
Productive. Excellent yields of 
5,000 to 8,000 quarts per acre are not 
unusual. 
Berries are beauties, but turn dark 
on holding. 
Fairfax is one of the firmest of ber¬ 
ries. 
Widely adapted. One of the highest 
selling early shipping berries in North 
Carolina. Good in Tennessee and 
Missouri. Fine all thru the Middle 
and Northern States. Maine’s leading 
roadside market berry.
