GREEN MOUNTAIMlMASJOpON A FINE NEW EVERBEARER FOR COLD CLIMATE5 tr HEAVY 50IL The Most Popular EVERBEARER Green Mountain was originated and intro- duced by the Aiken Nurseries in Vermont. It has made a fine record there for productiveness and profit, producing good crops in both the first and second years. The plant growth is more vigorous than any other Everbearing variety we have grown. It makes large, strong plants like Mastodon and almost as many plants as Gem. The berries are medium to large in size, have a bright red glossy skin and promi- nent yellow seeds, which make them very attrac- tive. The quality is very mild and sweet; the texture is firm and somewhat dry, making them excellent for shipping. We have found Green Mountain best on fairly heavy soils. It does not start bearing quite as early in the summer as Gem, Champion and Wayzata, but it has proved to be as heavy a producer as any with us. It has been equalled by Gem, but in a long, mod- erate fall or autumn would probably outyield gem because its productiveness is greatest late in the season whereas Gem starts early and un- less heavily fertilized lets up a little as freezing weather approaches. Green Mountain is a pat- ented variety, the patent being held by the in- troducers. It is understood when you purchase plants of this variety that you purchase the right to the fruit crops produced and to propagation of plants for your own use but not to sell nor give away. We are selling Green Mountain under special arrangement with the introducers and we recommend it for heavier soil types and for latitudes from Virginia north.
