TWENTIETH CENTURY 
EVERBEARING 
(Description by the Originator) 
1. QUALITY: One of the highest quality berries 
grown today. Very low acid content. Classed with 
Rockhill for flavor and mildness. 
2. SIZE: In size of fruit it ranks at the top. Re-. 
markably large on the average considering its continuous | 
production for a period of six months the same season | 
the plants are set out. 
3. FIRMNESS: Firmness and ability to stand com- 
mercial handling, makes it the first choice of the retail 
merchants. 
4. HIGH PRODUCTION: 20th Century Everbearer is 
a vigorous disease resistant plant. No other kind can | 
produce continuously the whole summer. 
5. GOOD REPRODUCTION: A good plant maker. 
No longer is it necessary to buy plants every year to. 
maintain your plot of everbearers. Grow your own. 
6. GROWING POPULARITY: 20th Century is in a 
class by itself. We have tried Rockhill, Mastodon, 
Streamliner, Gem, Wayzata and many others. All of the 
good points of these various kinds are combined in the 
20th Century and then some more. It promises to become 
the most popular everbearing strawberry grown. 
7. LONG LIFE: And remember here is a variety that 
is good for 3 to 5 years. Therefore the 20th Century 
plants are a best buy even at the higher price. No other) 
everbearer will do this. 
8. ORIGIN: 20th ‘Century is the result of the scienti- 
fic crossing of the Rockhill and Berri Supreme. Rockhill 
is noted for its fine quality. Berri Supreme made a good. 
production record in the U. S. Government Experimental’ 
Station in 1935 where the everbearing type was being) 
tested. The blossoms of these two varieties were cross- 
pollinated and the seed from the resulting fruit saved 
and planted. One of the seeds produced what is now | 
called the 20th Century. 
GEM 
From our own experience over many years we can- 
sider Gem a much better everbearer than Mastodon for 
the production of good fall berries the same year plants | 
are set. Not only will Gem produce more berries in late” 
summer and fall, but they are better berries, brighter,” 
more attractive, more uniform in shape and usually as 
good in size and quality.
