This is the way our Mastodon Plants grow Everbearing Strawberries There should always be some of these varieties planted in the home garden, for they will start fruiting 90 days after the plants are set and pro- duce all through the summer and fall till there is a heavy frost. Any family that enjoys delicious strawberries (and we believe everyone does) should not be without at least one of the everbearing varieties, just to think you can have delicious strawberry shortcake and all the other strawberry desserts all through the summer and fall, with very little expense, for if given the proper care each plant set will often produce a quart or more of delicious berries during their long fruiting season. Many of our customers have told us they have had plenty for their own use and then sold enough to pay their expenses with a neat profit besides from just a small patch in their garden. Since Mastodon has been introduced there are large profits for the grower who plants a large acreage, picking begins 90 days after the plants are set and you will have a nice income all through the summer and fall for there is a great demand and highest prices are paid for these berries. Be sure to in- clude some in your order, for if you plant a few rows in with your standard varieties they may pay or more than pay the expenses on your whole patch, in this way you can have a larger acreage with a smaller outlay of cash. The essentials in successfully producing everbearers are the same as for growing standard varieties, good fertile soil that will retain moisture should be used and be sure to get it strong, healthy true-to-name plants, keep the blossoms off till the middle of June and the plant will make a vigorous growth and a fair bed and you will have plenty of berries on through the summer and fall. One of the most important points is to be sure and plant early. Gentlemen: Ulster Co., N. Y., October 24, 1929. The Mastodon plants were received yesterday afternoon and just as nice as if they had just been packed. This morning we received your card of instruction and refund check of 76c. We are very much pleased with same and permit me to extend my thanks for the manner in which you have treated us. Should I hear of any customers will gladly recommend you to them. Respectfully, John G. Brewing.
