  MOST 
  PROMISING 
  MID-SEASON 
  

   BERRY 
  OF 
  RECENT 
  INTRODUCTION 
  

  

  A 
  vigorous 
  grower; 
  somewhat 
  frost 
  resistant; 
  extremely 
  productive, 
  equaling 
  Dorsett 
  and 
  Premier; 
  berries 
  

   very 
  large, 
  firm 
  and 
  of 
  good 
  quality. 
  

  

  The 
  Catskill 
  is 
  a 
  product 
  of 
  the 
  New 
  York 
  Experiment 
  Station, 
  being 
  a 
  cross 
  between 
  Marshall 
  and 
  Premier. 
  

   It 
  has 
  been 
  under 
  tests 
  for 
  the 
  past 
  five 
  years 
  and 
  now 
  shows 
  to 
  be 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  promising 
  mid-season 
  ber- 
  

   ries 
  in 
  cultivation. 
  The 
  foliage 
  is 
  healthy 
  in 
  this 
  latitude. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  good 
  plant 
  maker 
  and 
  has 
  proven 
  to 
  be 
  ex- 
  

   tremely 
  productive. 
  The 
  berries 
  are 
  as 
  large 
  as 
  Big 
  Joe 
  and 
  Chesapeake 
  and 
  of 
  good 
  quality 
  although 
  not 
  quite 
  

   up 
  to 
  Premier 
  and 
  Fairfax. 
  We 
  strongly 
  recommend 
  the 
  Catskill 
  for 
  this 
  and 
  more 
  northernly 
  sections.

  perfect 
  in

  and 
  more 
  glossy 
  and 
  

   shiny

  most 
  any 
  other 
  variety. 
  They 
  are 
  of 
  fine 
  quality 
  and 
  very 
  firm. 
  The 
  blossoms 
  are 
  very 
  resistant

   late

  making 
  Beauty 
  very 
  productive.

  No 
  other 
  mid-season 
  berry 
  has 
  stood 
  the 
  test 
  of 
  varied 
  soil 
  and 
  

   climatic 
  conditions 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  Big

  has 
  been 
  subjected 
  to 
  

   for 
  the 
  past 
  twenty 
  years 
  and

  the 
  fine

  general 
  hardiness, 
  productiveness 
  and 
  being 
  a 
  profit- 
  

   able 
  berry 
  to 
  grow. 
  It 
  will 
  withstand 
  as 
  much 
  rough 
  treatment 
  

   as 
  any 
  variety 
  we 
  know 
  and

  It 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  large, 
  

   attractive, 
  dark 
  bright 
  red 
  berry 
  that 
  will 
  sell 
  on 
  any 
  market. 
  It 
  

   can 
  always 
  be 
  depended 
  on 
  to 
  make 
  a 
  good 
  set 
  of 
  plants 
  and 
  come 
  

   through 
  with 
  a 
  crop, 
  a 
  combination 
  which 
  makes 
  it 
  one 
  of

  The

   readily 
  adapts 
  itself 
  wherever 
  it

  about 
  frost-proof 
  and 
  bears 
  abundantly, 
  the 
  plants 
  having 
  

   large, 
  healthy

  The 
  berries 
  are 
  large

   superior

  highest
