/ileuj(h4n l^'ge ^«ch Red (f Heavy Producer FALLBEARINC A heavy fruiting. Big, rich, red berry of very fine flavor and quality. It does exceptionally well in all the Northern States and as far west as Missouri. It seems to be a good producer in most any type of soils; and at its best on rich loam. Gem is a little better plant maker than the Mastodon, therefore, would suggest putting the plants a little farther apart in the row, about 16 inches is a good distance. Gem is also a very valuable variety for its spring crop. It produces a nice crop about the same time as the midseason varieties do. We grow several acres on our farms for their berries and like Gem very much. This season we picked Gem as late as November the 14th, and noticed quite a few green berries and blossoms on the plants. It surely will give you a long fruiting season and it takes a mighty cold freeze to stop them. COMPLETE PRICES FALL BEARING STRAWBERRIES PAGE 30 MaAjtbrdcm True Blue Strain FALLBEARINC jf HE MASTODON is one of the largest and most popular of all fallbearing varieties. The color of this large berry is of bright rich red, has a nice large green cap which accounts for its attractive appearance that is admired by all who see it. Texture of the berry is good and stands up well after picking. Can be shipped by truck several hundred miles without injury. The quality of our True Blue Strain Mastodon far excels the old strain. You now have a Mastodon berry with a rich delicious flavor of the highest quality. The New STREAMLINER This grand variety will fruit if planted this Spring—in July and continue bearing berries until heavy frost. Just the right everbearing strawberry for your garden—be it a fruit gar- den or flower garden.
