  IT 
  HAS 
  PROVED 
  ITS 
  RIGHT 
  AS 
  A 
  LEADER 
  OF 
  MID-SEASON 
  VARIETIES 
  

  

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

   very 
  large, 
  firm 
  and 
  good 
  quality. 
  

  

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

   It 
  has 
  proven 
  up 
  under 
  test 
  for 
  the 
  past 
  six 
  years 
  and 
  is 
  now 
  recognized 
  as 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  best 
  mid-season 
  berries 
  in 
  

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

   ductive. 
  The 
  berries 
  are 
  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 
  Northerly 
  sections.

   INTRODUCTION 
  

  

  Starbright 
  is 
  a 
  cross 
  of 
  Fairfax 
  and 
  Chesa- 
  

   peake 
  and 
  has 
  been 
  under 
  test 
  since 
  1933 
  and 
  

   ■during 
  the 
  last 
  two 
  years 
  has 
  dominated 
  all 
  

   other 
  berries 
  ripening 
  between 
  Fairfax 
  and 
  

   Chesapeake. 
  The 
  plants 
  are 
  vigorous 
  and 
  

   healthy 
  with 
  strong 
  crowns. 
  Makes 
  much 
  

   better 
  fruiting 
  beds 
  than 
  Chesapeake. 
  The 
  ber- 
  

   ries 
  are 
  large, 
  hold 
  up 
  well 
  all 
  through 
  the 
  

   fruiting 
  season. 
  Berries 
  have 
  bright 
  glossy 
  

   ■color, 
  lighter 
  color 
  than 
  Fairfax, 
  are 
  very 
  firm 
  

   and 
  have 
  very 
  high 
  quality. 
  Where 
  beauty 
  and 
  

   quality 
  is 
  a 
  principal 
  factor 
  on 
  your 
  markets 
  

   you 
  should 
  try 
  Starbright.

  A

  — 
  A 
  Money-Maker 
  

  

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

   matic 
  conditions 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  Big

  been 
  subjected 
  to 
  for 
  the 
  

   past 
  twenty

  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

  many 
  f 
  the

   and

  Its 
  main 
  points 
  of 
  merit 
  are 
  its 
  unusual 
  thriftiness 
  : 
  its 
  

   ability

  conditions: 
  its 
  resistance 
  to

  productiveness, 
  and 
  its 
  superior 
  quality

  Early

  It 
  starts 
  ripening 
  a 
  week

  Premier 
  and 
  continues 
  to 
  give 
  an 
  

   abundance 
  of 
  berries 
  for 
  nearly 
  a 
  month. 
  The 
  berries 
  average 
  large

   very 
  large, 
  most 
  of 
  them 
  having 
  a 
  double 
  cap. 
  It 
  is 
  shaped 
  like

   Premier

  produces 
  its 
  berries 
  near 
  the

  like 
  Premier.
