VERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
MASTODON 
3 Big Crops In 18 Months 
PLANT MASTODON THIS YEAR. 
Why plant common sorts when with 
Mastodon you can get three crops in 
the same time you would get one with 
the June-bearing varieties? Our select- 
ed Mastodon bear a heavy crop the 
same summer planted, a crop the fol- 
lowing spring that equals or surpasses 
any of the June Bearers that we grow, 
and a heavy crop that following fall. 
Why wait a full year before getting 
returns? 




A variety such as Mastodon cannot be 
adequately described in words. This berry, 
as a common or June-bearer, is so firm that it will 
carry hundreds of miles in perfect condition and com- 
mand the highest prices. The big green calyx of this won- 
der variety gives it an appearance that only Mastodon has, 
and these facts, coupled with the extreme large size, the 
tremendous bearing capacity and its valuable everbearing charac- 
teristics, readily show why you should include Mastodon in your 
order this year. Others of our growers are making big money on 
this variety, and the farmer who plants one or more acres now 
for a June-bearing crop should get the cream of the profits in 
the future. 
GEM 
Fine Quality—Heavy Producer 
Discovered by Frank J. Keplinger on his fruit farm in north 
central Michigan, the parent plant from which this remarkable 
strain has been propagated apparently was one of those miracles 
that happen in the berry industry once in a life-time. 
In an old patch of Everbearers there was a great, thrifty, husky 
Plant with luxuriant dark green foliage, sparkling with vitality— 
loaded with beautiful bright red berries and growing lustily in 
the poorest soil in the whole field. The original Gem plants and ‘ 
12 runner plants produced 25 quarts of berries and over 200 new GEM 
plants the first season in new raw muck where other Strawberry 
plants were unable even to survive, 

BLAKEMORE 
Extra Early—lIdeal Shipper 
The Blakemore is a cross of Missionary and 
Premier, originated and developed by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture. We have bought our 
foundation stock from that source. 
Blakemore is a free plant maker and produces 
a heavy fruiting row on any kind of soil. The 
foliage is tall and heavy, and protects’ the 
blooms from late spring freezes. The berries are 
beautiful, glossy, bright red to the core. It has 
a tough skin, firm flesh and a wonderful mild 
and juicy flavor. An excellent canner and one 
of the few varieties that keeps its color after 
preserving. Price same as Dunlap. 
DR. BURRILL 
The Improved Dunlap 
Dr. Burrill is a cross between the Senator 
Dunlap and Crescent and is spoken of as the 
“Million Dollar” strawberry. It is a variety that 
can be successfully grown on a rich, black, heavy 
soil when others fail, which at the same time is 
a productive, profitable variety on any soil where 
strawberries can be grown. It is easily grown 
and therefore an ideal variety for beginners or 
for those who do not know much about straw- 
berry business. The plant’s habit and berries re- 
semble the Senator Dunlap very closely, so much 
some are of the opinion that they are identical 
with that variety. Berries pointed, dark red, firm, 
sweet and fine for canning and preserves.
