GEM EVERBEARING (Per.) 
We have tried most of the everbrearing varieties 
and we consider Gem to be the best. 
Introduced to the trade in 19384, Gem makes a 
very vigorous growth of medium sized plants. The 
foliage is very healthy with no leaf spot. The berries 
average large in size, are bright red in color, very 
showy and attractive in the box and very firm. The 
Gem does well grown in the hill system or narrow 
row. For the narrow row set plants 18 inches apart 
in the row, with rows 314 feet apart and let each 
plant make six to eight runner plants. A good berry 
for home use or market. 
Gem plants should be set 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 Ist and continue to fruit until last of 
October. They will also bear a crop the next Spring. 
They should then be plowed under, as they don’t 
fruit enough to bother with the second Fall.

baskets.
