MASTODON. This has been a leader amongst the everbearers for a 
number of years. In fact, until the coming of the Gem was decidedly the 
best. A few years back we had difficulty in getting a bed, but recently it 
has made a suifuicient number of plants for a good fruiting stand. 
This reversal of form has led us to recommend the Mastodon without 
rservation as a good everbearer, especially in the warmer areas. It is ex- 
ceedingly handsome and firm and quite productive when the weather is not 
too het and there is a reasonable amount of moisture available. The quality 
is all that is to be desired, since the vigor of the plant brings the berries to 
maturity in a normalway. Like all the everbearers it will pay to remove the 
summer blooms in order to secure a larger and finer Fall crop. We feel that 
you may plant Mastodon with complete confidence. Our stock of plants is 
large and fine.
