14 GEORGE RENNIE, ANDOVER, MASS. 

GEM EVERBEARING (Per.) 
Introduced to the trade in 1934, Gem makes a 
very vigorous growth of medium sized plants. The 
foliage is very healthy with no leaf spot. The berries 
average large in size, are bright red in color, very 
showy and attractive in the box, and very firm. They 
stand a wet spell better than the Mastodon as they 
don’t have so heavy foliage. The berries dry off 
better after rain. The Gem does well grown in the 
hill system or narrow row. For the narrow row set 
plants 18 inches apart in the row, with rows 314 ft. 
apart and let each plant make six to eight runner 
plants. A good berry for home use or market. If 
the Mastodon is not entirely satisfactory with you, 
try some Gem this Spring.

in quart baskets.

‘Every one of our strawberry beds is grown for 
plants and not fruit. Some growers grow for fruit 
and dig and sell the outside edges of the rows for 
plants, the centers being saved for fruiting purposes.
