GEM 
In scmie ways Gem is equal to or superior to Mastodon. It makes 
runners much more freely, and the berries are generally larger and 
milicn firmer, They are firm enough to stand handling quite well. 
Gein plants run smaller than Mastodon, but when set on good soil, 
the foliage becomes quite rank. Leaves are smooth and waxy looking. 
berries run quite large, with rounded top, have a very nice appearance, 
quite tart in flavor. 
Gem is practically free from leaf spot to which Mastodon is more 
or less subject.

GEMZATA 
The Wayzata was the everbearer which produced the sweetest ber- 
ries we have ever known. Unfortunately, this variety made hardly any 
runners and it was very difficult to propagate. Gem was crossed with 
Wayzata to make Gemzata, resulting in an everbearer having some of 
the best qualities of both. 
Gemzata runs as freeity as Gem, with the plants having the rough 
appearance of Wayzata. Berries are large and sweet, about equal to 
Gem in firmness, very nearly the same color. 
One of the best of the everbearers, and one that does pretty well 
in the spring, too. 
STREAMLINER 
Streamliner is one of the newer everbearers that seems to have 
given a very satisfactory performance in many places. It may well be 
worth a thorough trial, but with us it has not done as well as some 
cther kinds. 
The leaves are dark, smooth, glossy, definitely cupped with rough 
edges. Streamliner runs freely and easily makes a good fruiting row. 
The berries are nice sized, dark red, rather rough, with a very good 
flavor.
