GROWTH OF PLANTS. If planted in good land under favor- 
able conditions, they will make a good bed of plants, but under reverse 
conditions, they are inclined to stool up. The plants are large, the 
foliage having a dark green glossy color. The berries are of good 
size, rich red in color and are firm enough to ship to moderate dis- 
tance. Every gardener or farmer should have a plot of Mastodon or 
Gem plants or both for Fall berries.
