John R. The Super General Purpose Berry 
In my estimation John R. is one of the best all around straw- 
berries that there is. It’s a Tennessee Beauty cross. Its other half 
is not known as I secured it from a Customer who dabbles in crossing 
berries. However, it will outbear most any kind we have, with less - 
care. It’s a MID-SEASON berry and bears right along here for 4 
weeks. Usually still bearing when the late ones are done. 
This berry starts bearing early mid-season and is still bearing 
- for us after the latest ones are gone... about a 4 week. season. 
Total crop is very heavy. Picture above shows a test patch of John R. 
that averaged way over 10,500 quarts per acre with only ordinary 
to poor attention. John R. came from a Customer and is a cross - 
of Tenn. Beauty with a Northern type. It is hardy clear into 
Northern Minnesota | 
If you’re a commercial grower, aise ae some. If a Home 
gardener and hardly know which to pick, try a few John R. You 
cannot go wrong with them. 
It is fairly large, red, good to eat raw, fine He ene hase of 
freezers and is a good shipping berry.

» MASTODON, Everbearing 
I consider Mastodon to be TOPS in EVERBEARERS ep gen- 
eral planting. It’s a strong grower, makes good fruiting row. It

duces a full spring crop and a good fall crop. Will grow on most © (
