Good Money-Maker 
In these days of labor shortage, it is important 
to prolong your work and marketing season, and 
Gem is the variety that will do it for you. It pro- 
duces a fine crop of money-making berries in the 
fall—berries that will sell well at fancy prices— 
and then again in the spring. More and more, Gem 
is being planted for profit. 
Here is what one enthusiastic Gem user says: 
“The everbearing Gem can’t be beat. I picked 
171 quarts the first year and 360 quarts the second 
off of 200 plants in spite of drought.”—Harry 
Bishop, Indiana. | 
That’s a total of 531 quarts from only 200 plants, 
better than 3!4 quarts per plant. Yes, Gem truly 
is well named. 













Remember Everbear- 
o ers are scarce. Order 
early, and let us reserve 
yours from our estimat- 
ed supplies. 
“What is so rare as a day in June.” 
Yes, but Gem also bears when the 
frost is on the “pumpkin.”

Gem is the everbearing variety that competes in 
June with standard June varieties, and in addition 
fruits in the fall. Gem is the money-making ever- 
bearer. Its berries are solid and carry well to market. 
They are well-shaped, well-colored, deliciously fla- 
vored. Plants: healthy, vigorous, drought resistant, 
productive. Grow in narrow rows for best results. 
Does not require mating. Prices below. 
Cultural Note: Everbearers, because they make 
few runners, can be planted closely. Many make 
the rows 30 inches apart and plants 15 inches apart 
in the row; thus your plants occupy less ground, 
and are easier to manage. Keep all blossoms off 
until the first of July the first year.
