MASTODON EVERBEARING 
We have tried all of the everbearing varieties, 
and we consider the Mastodon and Gem to be the 
two best varieties. Mastodon makes a very large 
plant, and the berries are the largest of any of the 
everbearing varieties. Does best on a medium soil, 
neither too light or too heavy. Set the plants as early 
as you can prepare the land in good shape. Keep all 
blossoms picked off until July 4th. They should start 
to fruit about August 1st and continue to fruit until 
last of October. If you have never grown Masto- 
don or Gem, plant some this Spring. 150 to 200 
plants will supply a good sized family with all the 
berries they can use from August until October with 
a second crop the next Spring. They should then be 
plowed under, as they don’t fruit enough: to bother 
with the second Fall. For best results a new bed 
should be set out every Spring. Fruit growers and 
farmers who have a roadside stand, should plant 
some of the everbearing varieties. They will bring 
trade to your stand. 
I want to invite everyone interested in straw- 
berries to come to my farm and see the Mastodon 
and Gem in fruit this Fall. Come anytime after Au- 
gust 10th until last of September. ‘All are welcome.”
