ABOUT OUR SELECT STRAIN CAT-

Bristol Co., Mass. 
Your Catskill strawberry plants arrived in 
fine condition as usual this past Spring and 
have made up into nice looking fruiting beds 
the past Summer. It seems to us that each 
year more and more of our growers are set- 
ting your Select-Strain plants, as your Cats- 
kill really are better. We wish you every 
success under your new Set-up. 
Z. R. SANTOS. 
Cuyahoga Co., Ohio, 
In our section we have always wanted 
an attractive midseason berry to follow 
up our Early Varieties and want to thank 
you personally 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.

Catskill plants received this afternoon, 
superb in every way, compared to plants re- 
ceived in the past. You may look for my 
orders regularly for your Select-Strain.

- Townsend’s Select Strain Catskill Plants 

The Ideal 
Proclaimed Winner in Size, Yields and Profits 
as rapid rise in popularity of Catskill 
has been nothing short of phenomenal. 
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 originators 
at Geneva, New York, we have thru careful plant 
selection produced a strain that is considered 
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—tThese 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- 
Berry—A | 

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 
elassed 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 calam- 
ity could keep our customers from making big profits 
on.
