  AS 
  A

  OF

  A 
  vigorous

  somewhat 
  frost 
  resistant; 
  extremely 
  productive,

  Dorsett

  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 
  berries 
  in 
  

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

   ductive. 
  The 
  berries 
  are 
  as 
  large 
  as 
  Big 
  Joe 
  and 
  Chesapeake 
  and 
  of 
  good 
  quality 
  although 
  not 
  quite 
  up 
  to 
  Pre- 
  

   mier 
  and 
  Fairfax. 
  We 
  strongly 
  recommend 
  the 
  Catskill 
  for 
  this 
  and 
  more 
  northernly 
  sections.
