A New Ground Planting Townsend’s Select Strain Catskill Plants 
THESE UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL 
LETTERS TELL THE STORY ABOUT 
OUR SELECT STRAIN CATSKILL AND 
THEIR ABILITY TO PRODUCE 
Oswego Co., N. Y. 
The Select Strain Catskill purchased from 
you last year certainly produced a_ heavy 
crop of fine quality berries. I never dreamed 
that there could be so much difference in 
plant Selection of Strawberry Plants until I 
grew your Strain of Catskill, and I have 
been growing this variety for several years.

In our section we have always wanted an 
attractive midseason berry to follow up our 
Early Varieties and want to thank you per- 
sonally for advising me to plant Catskill. 
I think it’s one of the finest varieties we 
have ever grown. Some of my neighbors had 
purchased Catskill from other sources. While 
the quality of their berries were as good as 
mine, I picked more than double the amount 
of berries from the same amount of plants 
set. In the future nothing but Townsend 
Select Strain Plants for me. Wish you 
every success in your propagating of Heavier 
Yielding Plants. J. Z. MILLER.

The Catskill plants received this morning 
and better plants could not be asked for. 
The root system was perfect and plants were 
all of one size, something that we are not 
used to receiving. From now on you get 
my orders for berry plants as I realize you 
have a Select Strain that can not be beaten.

The Ideal /"/€@22€G@26%Berry—A Proclaimed 
Winner in Size, Yields and Profits 
HE rapid rise in popularity of Catskill 
has been nothing short of phenom- 
enal. Because of its size, flavor, heavy yields, 
vigorous growth, and its adaptability to a wide 
range of soils and climates, this variety has, in 
a short time, become a universal favorite. While 
our strain of Catskill is direct from the origina- 
tors at Geneva, New York, we have thru careful 
plant selection produced a strain that is con- 
sidered by some of the largest berry growers in 
the country to be one of the most vigorous 
growers and heaviest yielding strains in the 
country. We do not hesitate in recommending 
Catskill to you as one midseason variety that is 
certain to prove satisfactory. 
RICH COLOR—Bright rich red, similar to Big Joe. The 
large double green cap stands up well on the berry 
and makes a very attractive looking package when 
offered to the buyer. 
SIZE—These rich red berries are large to extra large in 
size, keeping its size well until the last fruit is har- 
vested. The large size of the Catskill is one of its out- 
standing values, demanding top of the market prices. 
QUALITY—In flavor it compares favorably with such 
varieties as Premier, Dorsett, Fairfax, Big Joe, and 
Chesapeake. The texture is such that Catskill can be 
classed as a long distant shipper. Holding up well after 
picking, it has a high commercial value appreciated 
by all berry growers. 
PRODUCTIVENESS—Growers in all sections East of 
the Mississippi River and several states West advises 
us that it is the heaviest producing midseason berry 
they have grown, in our own test plots it has proven 
itself far ahead of any other midseason variety. In 
fact our test plots gave us more genuine enthusiasm 
that this was a midseason berry that nothing short of | 
a calamity could keep our customers from making big 
profits on.
