Everbearing Strawberry Plant 
I have drawn a mark suggesting 
about where to cut off the tips of the 
roots before planting. Tops should be 
trimmed also. 

If you plant just one kind, then plant Mastodon. 
If plant both, better plant more Mastodon than Gem. 
The “EARLY GEM" 
Everbearing Strawberries 
The GEM doesn’t make as large plants as the Mas- 
todon. Gem plants run pretty small. But they “take 
hold’ and establish themselves quickly. 
They soon develop new leaves and begin blooming 
and sending out runners early. 
I think it’s best to pinch off first crop or two of 
blooms of any everbearing kind. But the “GEM” 
plants thrive and forge ahead even if berries are 
allowed to mature early in the season. 
I’ad say that EARLINESS is one of the outstanding 
valuable points in favor of GEM. 
The berries are large, though do not average quite 
so large as Mastodon. Flavor is good. . 
Everbearers “stop and go.” That is, they set a crop, 
then rest, then set another crop. GEM leads off ahead 
of Mastodon with first picking. After that the two 
are likely to work and rest at different times, thus 
insuring you a more uniform supply than either one 
variety could. 
One scale of prices for BOTH MASTODON AND 
GEM plants. You can take part each of the two 
kinds to get the quantity prices. 
Plants are put up in bundles of 25. So make up 
your order, for example: 25 of one kind and 75 of 
the other, or 50 of each kind, to get the 100 rate. 
Or, 150 of one kind and 250 of another to get the 400 
rate, and so on.
