Giant Everbearer 
Bears 60 Days after planting. 
Gem differs a little from Wayzata and 
Mastodon in this way. Gem prefers a clay Wag 
or a heavy sandy loam soil, where @amm 
Wayzata and Mastodon do well on most 
any kind of soil. Gem also does best 
when grown in the hill system, so for 
best results keep all runners nipped off. 
The berries are large and smooth, and of 
a light red color, that ripen up even all 
around. Bears equally as heavy as Mas- 
todon, and the berries get larger towards 
Fall. Runner plants will bear as well as 
the mother plant. Gem is a good plant 
maker. Plants as a rule are smaller than 
Mastodon or Wayzata. Makes a good June 
bearing variety. Bears 3 crops in 18 
months. Gem makes a beautiful quart 
of berries as you can see to the right. 
This is an actual photograph. Berries like 
these sell for 50 cents a quart around 
Thanksgiving, and bring good prices all 
summer long.
