BIG JOE 



A BEAUTIFUL BEKRY- 

 A MONEY-MAKER 



Bountiful Ridge Grown CATSKILIi 

 plants such as these will bring: results. 

 They have heavy crowns, long roots 

 and are free from Cape Cod Nematode 

 which infests so many Catskill plants. 

 We caution planters to know where 

 their Catskill plants are coming from; 

 a small saving in price of plants can 

 prove very costly." IT WILL, PAY YOU 

 TO PLANT BOUNTIFUL BIDGE 

 GROWN CATSKILL." 



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

 matic conditions to which the Big Joe has been subjected to for the 

 past twenty years and come through with the fine record it has for gen- 

 eral hardiness, productiveness and being a profitable berry to grow. It 

 will withstand as much rough treatment as any variety we know of and 

 still come through. 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 most popular and profitable berries to grow. 



PATHFINDER 



VERY RESISTANT TO ROOT DISEASES 



Originating at N. J. Experimental Station as the result of a cross be- 

 tween Premier and Aberdeen and formerly known as N. J, No. 35. 

 Ripens about three weeks after Premier. The berries are regular, round- 

 ish conic in shape, medium to large in size, bright red in color, brisk, 

 sub-acid flavor with a quality rating of good. The plants are very vig- 

 orous and productive and thrive on heavier springy types of soil with 

 plenty of moisture. Will do best from central Jersey north. 



DRESDEN 



Reports coming from Conn, where Dresden originated claim yields as 

 high as 16,000 quarts to the acre. This is hard to believe but being a 

 fine large berry, making good plants we recommend it for trial in the 

 northern berry areas. Berries ripen just before Catskill, are mostly conic 

 to wedge shaped, rich strawberry color, moderately firm and fair to 

 good quality. Plant some Dresden for trial this year. 



RED STAR 



(U.S.D.A. 2124) 



Large, Bright Red Color, Excellent Quality, Firmness 

 Late Ripening— Qualifies the REDSTAR to Chal- 

 lenge All Other Late Varieties 



md Fairfax which has been under 



Redstar is a cross of Chesapeake 

 test since 1933. 



In our fields we have found it to be a heavy producer of large showy 

 type berries which are sometimes ridged or furrowed but mainly they 

 are of normal shape. The berries are a bright red and do not turn 

 dark, its flesh is juicy but firm, the quality is good to excellent, size of fruit holds well through fruiting season. 

 The plants and leaves are very large, the stalks strong, while the flower stems are relatively short thus af- 

 fording the fruit buds protection from frosts. 



We have long needed a good very late berry and REDSTAR so far stands out as the challenger for top hon- 

 ors over all other late varieties. 



It ripens after Chesapeake and with or after Gandy and Orem. For the Home Garden and Commercial plant- 

 ing we recommend planting the REDSTAR from Virginia north. Due to its long season the home gardener will 

 have high quality berries much later than ever before and for the commercial grower it means more high priced 

 berries to offer long after the season is over on other varieties. Does best in heavier soils. 



STARBRIGHT 



(U. S. D. A. 2120) 



FIRMNESS, BEAUTY, HIGH QUALITY, 



SIZE— MAKES STARBRIGHT AN 



OUTSTANDING BERRY 



Starbright is a cross of Fairfax and Chesa- 

 peake. The plants are vigorous and healthy 

 with strong crowns. Makes much better 

 fruiting beds than Chesapeake. The berries 

 are large, hold well all through the fruiting 

 season. Berries have bright glossy color, 

 lighter color than Fairfax, and very firm 

 and have very high quality. Recommended 

 for planting from Virginia to southern New 

 England and central western area. 



Chesapeake 



QUALITY - BEAUTY - PRODUCTIVE 



It will not stand abuse, seeming to do best 

 in dark, loamy soil and lieavier soils where 

 there is plenty of moisture. It will thrive 

 on well tilled new land. Like the Premier, 

 it is about frost-proof and bears abundantly, 

 the plants having large, healthy foliage. 

 The berries are large and attractive, being 

 superior in quality. The berry is very firm 

 so you can ship it to distant markets.
