GE>L Grown by us this year for the first time. The plant makes a vigorous growth pro- ducing runners quite freely with a type of growth similar to Senator Dunlap, making fairly numerous small plants rather than smaller num- bers of large plants like Mastodon. However, it .seems to have plenty of vigor. Considering the growth habit of Gem it would seem that more and larger berries would be pro- duced if grown under the hill system or with runner production restricted to a very few. Conditions with us this year have not been favorable for Everbearing berries. Indications are that Gem is about as productive as Mastodon with berries lighter in color and almost roui: '? in shape. They are at least as attractive as Mastodon in the package. They are about as good in quality, being some- what more tart, although the flesh is finer grained.
