MASTODON (Everbearing) — Is still the most popular and extensively planted of 
all the everbearing varieties holding about the same position among the everbearers 
that Premier has among the spring varieties. Gem from my experience is a close 
second and would recoinmend giving it a thorough trial, but Mastodon has been 
tried for several years and is a proven money maker. Plants set this spring should 
begin to bear fruit soon after being set but for best results blossoms should be re- 
moved until about July first when they can be allowed to fruit and from then on to 
freezing weather will have blossoms, green berries in all stages of growth and ripe 
berries at the same time. Berries are large size, fairly firm and of good quality. 
Another reason that makes Mastodon a safe variety to plant is that it will not only 
produce a big fall crop but will bear a heavy crop in the spring, ripening in mid- 
season, that will compare favorably with most of the spring bearing varieties. 
Tne plants are large with long deep roots that enable them to withstand drouth. 
The foliage is low and spreading which protects blossoms and berries from frost 
and cold in the fall. 
GEM. An Early Highly Productive New Everbearing. This new everbearing straw- 
berry is an outstanding variety, and is far ahead of all cther everbearing sorts, 
with the possible exception of Mastodon. They are large in size, very uniform, 
bright sparkling red, and with a mild rich flavor. The berries are firm, stand 
shipping well, and sell for the highest prices in the market. The plants are hardy, 
disease resistant, and produce great crops of berries as well as being prolific plant 
producers. We urge you to try some of these fine berries this year.
