Dorsettt Catskill» Fairfax And Chesapeake — A Great Money Making Combination 



MID-SEASON VARIETIES 



CATSKILL 



ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MID-SEASON 

 BERRIES OF RECENT INTRODUCTION 



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



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

 ries 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 proved 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 

 productive. 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. (See Inside 

 back of cover in color) 



ARFRDFPM ^"^ comparatively new variety. The plants show 

 rxJJLjl^l^l^LjL^ unusual thriftiness. making abundance of new 

 plants. The Aberdeen is unusually productive, equaling or sur- 

 passing the Premier. The berries will average larger than Pre- 

 mier, being somewhat pointed in shape, and most every berry is 

 perfect in shape. Its ripening period extends from two to three 

 weeks. 



BIG JOE 



OUR MOST POPULAR 

 MID-SEASON BERRY 



BIG JOE 



A Beautiful Berry - A Money-Maker 



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

 climatic 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 general hardiness, productiveness and being a protitable 

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

 variety we ktiow and still come through. It is a very large, at- 

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

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

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

 most popular and profitable berries to grow. 



?lT30TV/f fl One of the best for its season, following closelv on 

 n.Ll\^Vir% the Big Joe. The plant is very thrifty, and readily 

 adapts itself wherever it is planted. The fruit is medium to late, 

 dark bright red, the color carrying through the berry. It is firm 

 and a good shipper. It is a good plant maker and very produc- 

 tive, the blosoms being very resistant to frost injury. 



LATE VARIETIES 



CHESAPEAKE 



GIVEN GOOD CARE NO OTHER LATE BERRY WILL EQUAL IT 



QUALITY - BEAUTY - PRODUCTIVE 

 A THREE POINT WINNER 



It will not stand abuse, seeming to do best in dark, loamy soil 

 and heavier 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. 



\A7TT T T A1\/r "RFT T "^^^^ variety is the standard of excellence 

 yy ILiLiLrWx DUIjI. for quality. Berries average large in size, 

 being somewhat irregular in shape, having an attractive cap, and 

 the berries themselves are a bright, glossy red, which makes them 

 very handsome. On any market where quality and appearance 

 pre-dominate among the buyers the Wm. Belt will prove a good 

 money-maker for the grower. 



p«TTT VPR '^ product of the New York Experiment Station. 

 y^yJLiM LtLi ^Ye consider it the best of the late berries which 

 they have released. It is a good plant maker ; not so susceptible 

 of leaf spot. The berries are very large, bright red color and ex- 

 cellent qualitj', and seemed quite firm here with us in our test 

 block. 



GANDY 



A tried and proven real late berry. A vigorous 

 grower, making plants freely, preferring springy 

 soil to come to its best. Berries are large, very firm and attractive. 



LUPTON 



A WORTHY RIVAL 

 OF CHESAPEAKE 



A fancy late shipping berry similar to Chesapeake in size and 

 appearances but does not have the quality the Chesapeake has. 

 "We recommend it where you cannot get satisfactory beds of 

 plants of Chesapeake, because the Lupton will do equally as well 

 on most soils, making abundance of plants and being a vigorous 

 grower, and you can always depend on a good crop of Lupton 

 berries.
