Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 
Everbearing strawberries have Icng since ceased to be just a novelty and have 
an accepted place in berry growing. They bear two crops each year, one in the 
spring and one in the fall. Everbearers wi!l fruit the fall of the year they are 
set. Keep the blossoms cut off until about July 10 and you can enjoy luscious ber- 
ries from August until the snow flies. Removing the early blosscms gives the plants 
a chance to make a vigorous growth before fruiting, resulting in more and larger 
berries in the fall. 
Everbearers require gcod sci] and plenty of moisture. Early setting is import- 
ant. General cultural practices are about the same as for spring varieties. 
GEM (Everbearing) — One of the best Everbearers. Large, glossy, bright red, at- 
tractive berries whose very appearance sel!s them fcr top prices. Smooth and uni- 
ferm in shape. Good quality. Slightly tart. A heavy yielder and prolific plant maker. 
MASTODON (Everbearing) — Mastodcn is the most popular and widely grown 
Everbearer. It dces well in a'l the northern and middle states, a'so as far south 
as North Carolina and Tennessee cn sites of 100 feet or more elevation. 
Mastcdecn makes a very vigorous healthy plant growth, with strong robust 
individual plants. This may partly explain its ability to come through under tough 
conditions. Other varieties may be better or poorer under varying conditions, but 
IWastodcn a'most never lets you down entirely. 
It bears frcm late summer until freezing weather. The heavy foliage often 
protects the berries so that they continue until long after the first frosts have ccme. 
Mastodon is a fine midseason berry for the spring season, entirely apart from 
its summer and fall crop. This makes Mastoden a safe variety to plant. 
The berries from either crep are large, bright red, cf good quality and firm 
enough for local or nearby markets. 
GEMZATA (Everbearing) — A new everbearing strawberry tnat challenges the 
Mastodon and Gem. Deve'oped frcm a cross of the Gem and Wayzata it is a 
triumph in Strawberry plant breeding. It is a vigorcus grcwer, foliage being resis- 
tant to leaf spct. The fruit resembles Gem but averages larger, it is firm and very 
high in quality. It seems to adapt itself to a wide range of soils and is very pro- 
ductive, setting berries almcst constantly during the summer’ months. It is tru!y 
a fine Everbearing berry and we recommend it for trial. 
MINNESOTA Neo. 1166 (Everbearing) — This is a very recent introduction in Ever- 
bearing strawberries. Many of tncse who have tried it; state they prefer this variety 
to any Everbearer introduced to date. It also beers 60 to 90 days after planting—ber- 
ries all summer and fall, followed by a fine crop the following June. Plants are 
hardy, and produces runners freely. Berries are large, long and pointed—in ap- 
pearance it locks like the Missicnary berry that is so well known in the South. 
Berries are dark in color and perfectly red clear thrcougn—no green tips. Fruit 
is firm and very sweet. 
BKRUNES MARVEL (Everbearing) — This is another new variety of everbearing 
Strawberry that differs from all others in this way: For you folks who cannot 
eat other varieties of Strawberries, can eat this cne. No acid, and about all sugar. 
This variety will. not cause a rash like others do on some folks. It’s really so sweet 
that no sugar is needed. Mild and smcoth. Seeds are so smal] that tney are hardly 
noticed. Berries large, bright red, and bears 60 days after set, and is still at it 
when it commences to snow.
