growers and produce large fruit in quantity during 
the summer and fall months. It makes new runner 
plants which also produce fruit same fall. The Gem- 
zata plant itself, is attractive with large ripe fruit, 
green berries and blossoms all at the same time. It 
has proven successful on a wide range of soils and 
succeeds better than any other varieties in adverse 
conditions. The large size and distinct flavor of the 
berries are perfect for serving with cream and sugar 
and for canning.

striking red in color, seeds few and the flavor is 
outstanding—sweet and juicy—lacking the acidity of 
most other everbearers.
