\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. 
% SHZE: 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 
1S 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. 
\Gem 
From our own experience over many years we con- 
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. 
~Progressive 
Progressive is one of the older everbearers. Fruit 
is dark red, medium size, and the flavor is unsurpassed. 
Best results are obtained by keeping the blossoms pinched 
off until near the last of July.

Cultivation 
The plants should be cultivated and hoed soon after 
they have started growth after being set out. It is 
important at the first hoeing to uncover the buds of any 
plants that may have been planted too deep. If this is 
not done early plants will die as a result. Cultivate often 
enough to keep the surface of the ground from becoming 
crusted and to keep down grass and weeds. It is not 
necessary to practice deep cultivation. A depth of 1 to 
1% inches is deep enough for the hoe or perhaps slightly 
deeper with the cultivator. Remember that one cultiva- 
tion made in time is much more helpful than two made 
after grass and weeds become bad. Frequent hoeing and 
plowing make larger, stronger fruiting beds and a better 
crop of berries.
