We like Gem much better than Mastodon. With us here in Maryland it produces more late summer and fall berries. Compared with Mastodon the Gem berries are at least equal in size, quality and flavor. They are firmer, brighter, more uniform in size and shape, more attractive in appearance, and sell better on the market than Mastodon. Gem berries are usually as bright and attractive as Blakemore.

. Allen's book of berries for 1943. Nurseries (Horticulture) Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Nursery stock Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Strawberries Maryland Salisbury Catalogs. We like Gem much better than Mastodon. With us here in Maryland it produces more late summer and fall berries. Compared with Mastodon the Gem berries are at least equal in size, quality and flavor. They are firmer, brighter, more uniform in size and shape, more attractive in appearance, and sell better on the market than Mastodon. Gem berries are usually as bright and attractive as Blakemore. Although Gem is much better here for the last summer and fall crop, it is no where near as good for the spring crop as Mastodon. This may account largely for the greater general popularity of Mastodon. Gem plants are usually not as strong and rugged as Mastodon but our Gem stock this year has had special attention so that the plants are unusually robust for that variety. If set reatonably early we think no one will have any trouble making this Gem stock live and grow and produce. If Gem plants start making runners too freely these should be cut or pulled off to encourage fruit production. The friends of Gem speak up. "The Gem plants I put out last spring did wonderfully well. We picked berries in the fall even up into late November". Mr. B. A. Tagg^rt, Cumberland County, N. J. February 23, 1942. "Please send me 1,000 Gem Everbearing strawberry plants about April 20th. I bought 700 Gem from you last year and they certainly produced wonderfully. We picked berries until the latter part of October". Mr. £. H. Lopus, McKean Co., Pa. March 21, 1942. "We are now having nice shortcakes from the Gem and Mastodon plants we set out this spring". Mr. Joseph LaPointe, Clinton Co., N. Y. August 18, 1942. You will want some of our superb stock of sturdy Gem plants this year. They are jam-packed vinth vigor and vitality and are ready to respond rapidly to reasonable care and attention. Price
