~ REDSTAR 
Our Very Best Late Berry 
Redstar is a sure bet to continue the good strawberry sea- 
son. Its large, flavorful berries are certain to make a hit with 
your customers and family. They ripen a week to ten days 
after other berries are gone—so late that they are seldom 
hit by frost and annual crops are a certainty. The first ber- 
ries are very large and wedge-shaped. Later ones are mostly 
conic. Flavor is delightfully good for such a late berry. 
The bright red color is quite attractive and darkens little on 
holding. 
Plants of Redstar are now Virus Free and very vigorous. 
It is easy to get a nice fruiting bed and high yields from 
these plants. Redstar should be grown where there is an 
abundance of moisture at planting time for best size and 
quality. 
HEAVY BEARER — FROST RESISTANT 
A CHALLENGER TO PREMIER 
Empire is a medium early berry introduced by the New 
York State Experiment Station as an outstanding berry for 
the middle and northern berry producing areas. It is a beau- 
tiful berry; larger than Premier: firmer, better carrier, more 
attractive and a higher yieider 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 popu- 
lar in the Premier growing sections of the country. Why 
don’t you try some from Bountiful Ridge this year?

A Proven Profit Maker 
Good For Freezing, Too 
A VERY HEAVY PRODUCER 
A GOOD PLANT MAKER 
The Sparkle is a recent introuction of the N. J. Experi- 
mental Station. Sparkle is a prolific plant maker with good 
healthy foliage and reports coming to us say it is very 
productive. Berries are firm under Maryland growing con- 
ditions. Berries are medium size uniform in shape and as 
its name indicates has a bright red color, turning somewhat 
dark on fruits that are over-ripe. The quality of the berry 
is excellent. Ripens midseason, being a little later than 
Premier. Requires good moisture for best results. Sparkle 
should be tried extensively in N. J., Eastern Penna... New 
York and other New England States. 
Disease free and 
full of Virus Free vigor, they have to satisfy the planter. 
For increased pleasure and profits, plant some fine Virus Free 
Strawberries from Bountiful Ridge this year. They can’t 
~ CATSKILL 
ONE OF THE VERY GOOD MID-SEASON BERRIES. 
IT HAS PROVEN ITS RIGHT AS A LEADER OF 
MID-SEASON VARIETIES. 
A vigorous grower; somewhat frost resistant, 
productive; berries very large and good quality. 
Note the bluff foliage of these fine plants. 
extremely 
The Catskill is a product of the New York Experiment Sta- 
tion, being a cross between Marshall and Premier. It has 
proven up under test for the past many years and is now 
recognized as one of the best mid-season berries in cultiva- 
tion. The foliage is healthy in this latitude. It is a good 
plant maker and has proved to be extremely productive. The 
berries are as large as Big Joe and Chesapeake and of good 
quality although not rated quite up to Premier and Fairfax. 
We strongly recommend Catskill for this and more North- 
erly sections. 
VIRUS FREE CATSKILL: This great berry is on the 
road back to being our No. 1 midseason berry in Northern 
Areas with the advent of Virus Free Catskill plants. It does 
ones heart good to see Catskill again making heavy fruiting 
beds of Plants and those large handsome berries. Plant 
Bountiful Ridge Grown Virus Free plants this year. They 
are wonderful.
