Gem berries are almost as light, and just as attractive, as Blakemore, although not quite so regular in shape. Gem has many friends and there are good reports from the New England States and most all of the other northern States. "The Gem is the best everbearing variety we have ever found," writes Jesse R. Craig of Douglas Co., 111. One of the large growers in Minnesota, Mr. S. M. Thimsen, likes Gem best for the July and August berries, Wayzata for the later fall crop. Mr. H. C. Burnham, a grower in northern Pennsyl- vania almost on the New York State line, told us that he made several hundred dollars per acre for his fall crop of Gem in 1938. Mr. Burnham is pictured below standing in his field of Gem with one of the members of our firm. You can note the double hill rows in the picture. Mr. Burnham cut off all the runners, which made it easier to cut off all the blossoms of the spring crop as he has done. When we were there he certainly had a fine prospect for another money- making crop of Gem in summer and fall. Gem is our favorite and we recommend it highly. All everbearing berries seem to do better in northern climates, but Gem will often do well in the South also. We have no large supply of Gem this year but the plants we do have are I larger and more sturdy than usual for this I variety. Price list, page 35.
