Mastodon is a good midseason berry for the regular spring crop, similar to Big Joe in both plant growth and fruit. It can be grown with some success in red stele soils, having more resistance to that disease than any of the other everbearers. Lack of consistent productiveness in late summer and fall has been and still is the weakness of all the everbearers. We believe one of the reasons why Mastodon continued so long as the most popular and widely planted variety is because a good crop of berries in the spring was sure even though the summer and fall crop was disappointing. Mastodon makes a strong vigorous growth with larger plants generally than any of the everbearers except the new Red Rich. It is very rugged and can take lots of punishment and still survive, '^ai any plant should be given extra good care if a good crop of berries is expected just a few weeks after the plants are set. In favorable seasons Mastodon is quite productive for the fall crop. The berries are fairly good in quality, rather attractive in appearance and firm enough to be shipped moderate distances. Mastodon is not as attractive as Gem, about equal in quality and not usually as productive in late summer and fall. They have a tendency to ripen unevenly with the underside green after the top has become fully red. Mastodon is not adapted as far south as Gem and Superfection but for years was the most popular and widely planted everbearer over the middle and northern states. Price List page 31. We are offering this great new everbearer this year for the first time. We had it under test during 1951. We can say without reservation that Red Rich makes the largest, strongest, most vigorous plant that we have ever seen with any everbearer. The berries are outstanding in quality. When we say it is as good or almost as good as Fairfax we c
