Bountiful Ridge Strawberry Plants Are Superior — Plant Them 
CATSKILL 70 2 
ONE OF THE VERY GOOD MIDSEASON BERRIES 
A vigorous grower, somewhat frost resistant and ex- 
tremely productive. It has proven itself for many years 
and is recognized as one of the best midseason berries in 
cultivation. The foliage is healthy in this latitude. It 
is a good plant maker and very productive. The berries 
are large and of good quality. We recommend Virus 
Free plants of this fine variety for this and more 
northern areas. Catskill is the Number One midseason 
variety for the Northeast. 
EMPIRE ° 2 
Heavy Bearer — Frost Resistant 
Empire is a medium early, outstanding berry for the 
middle and northern berry-producing areas. It is beauti- 
ful — larger than Premier, firmer, better carrier, more 
attractive and a higher yielder than Premier. Empire has 
always been a vigorous grower. Virus free stocks make it 
even easier to get good fruiting beds. The high yields of 
large, glossy red fruit are making this fine berry very 
popular in the Premier growing sections of the country. 
Why don't you try some from Bountiful Ridge this 
year? 
REDGLOW 008 
BEAUTY — PRODUCTIVITY — LARGE SIZE 
RED STELE RESISTANCE 
Redglow is one of our best-looking strawberries. The 
fruit ripens in early midseason and is large, beautiful, 
brilliant red, and delicious. The berries hold their size 
throughout the season and are fairly firm. They are 
good for freezing and fresh market sales. 
Plants of Redglow are vigorous, productive, and re- 
sistant to the common type of red stele. This is a real 
good variety for the middle states area and should be 
planted in rich, moist soil. It ripens one or Uvo days 
later than Earlidawn.

later than Surecrop. It is resistant to 5 races of Red Stele, 
verticillium wilt, leaf scorch and mildew. Berries are large, 
firm, glossy, and retain an attractive appearance during

pected to be very useful in areas where heavy yielding, 
late mid-season strawberries are desired. 
7U#* "Extra-Special" Kinds 
* REDCHIEF 7 " 
EXCELLENT NEW VARIETY FROM U. S. D. A. 
Redchief has been evaluated for yield, horticultural 
characteristics, and resistance to diseases from Massa- 
chusetts to North Carolina and west to Missouri. The 
best reports on this fine new berry come from the northern 
areas of the test section. 
The berries ripen two to three days later than Surecrop. 
They are large, firm, glossy, cone shaped, and have a 
uniform deep red color. Quality is good and is maintained 
in frozen products. 
Plants of Redchief are resistant to five races of red stele, 
are vigorous, and intermediate in their resistance to Ver- 
ticillium wilt. The leaves are resistant to leaf scorch and 
mildew but rather susceptible to leaf spot. 
Redchief is suggested for areas where red stele is a prob- 
lem and where Surecrop has not been productive. Red- 
chief handles well, is rather easy to cap, and seems well 
adapted fof the "pick-your-own" market.
