* 20TH CENTURY 
The largest and sweetest everbearer we have grown. A 
box of 20th Century are gorgeous to look at. Flavor tops. Ber- 
ries ripen evenly, no white tips. Enormous cropper. It makes 
fewer plants than most varieties. Pick these beautiful berries 
50 days after planting, if set in April or May, and a crop the 
following year, too. 
" GEM (Everbearing) 
Surpasses other varieties of everbearing strawberries in 
that it does well on most any kind of soil. It makes plants free- 
ly and makes a heavy fruiting row. It starts fruiting about 
eight weeks after planting. Berries are a sparkling bright red, 
firm, stand shipping well, have a rich flavor something like a 
wild strawberry. Berries bring highest prices in the market. 
In New England we keep all blossoms picked off until about 
July 1st. In two or three weeks the berries will start to ripen, 
the bulk of the crop coming in August and September when 
prices are highest. If you have never planted Gem, we urge 
you to try them. You have a real treat coming. 
‘STREAMLINER (Everbearing)

producer. Probably the most outstanding of all the new ever-
