CATSKILL. A new variety originated by the New York Experiment 
Station. All who have fruited it are very enthusiastic abou? ii. 
Claimed to be much better than any other midseason variety. 
Growth, size, quality and flavor good, and is the most vroduct- 
ive of all strawberries. We unhesitatingly recommend it for 
trial for both home use and market purposes. 
CHESAPEAKE. This is the finest dessert berry of the late varieiies 
and will keep better and sell at higher prices than any other 
late berry we know of. The fruit is large and handsome and will 
stay so until the end of the fruiting season. Berries are a rich, 
glossy red with bright yellow seed, have a large green cap and 
are very uniform in size. Chesapeake is firm and will carry io 
the markets in the best of condition. 
DORSETT. Another early berry developed by the U. S. Devart- 
ment of Agriculture. The berries are medium light in color, firm 
and of most excellent flavor; in fact, Dorsett and Fairfax are con- 
sidered the two best flavored of all the early varieties. ey. 
are both good sellers bringing a premium over all varietie 
in the markets. They are new varieties, good healthy growers 
extra quality fruit, heavy producers and good sellers. For nome 
use or market we unhesitatingly recommend them. 
FAIRFAX. What we say about Dorsett also applies to Fairfax wiih 
the difference in color of the fruit; Dorsett being a lighter red 
than Fairfax; Fairfax is two to three days later than Dorssit and 
is also a litile larger; equally as productive and as good grower. 
You will make no mistake in planting either or both of these 
whether you want them for home use or market. 
FROSTPROOF. It you have been having trouble with frost killing 
your blooms we suggest you try this. So frost resistant it was 
named Frostproof. Berries large, good flavor, midseason. 
GANDY. Fifty-one years old and still good as an exira late 
berry if given a good fertile moist soil. The berries are strictly 
fancy, large, good quality, bright red with a large green cay. A 
good keeper but not as productive as some. 
LUPTON. One would not likely grow this variety if he was going 
to eat the fruit himself as it does not begin to have the qualiiv 
of some of the others but it is very attractive and shows up so 
well when it arrives on the market that it most always brings the 
top prices and that is what the commercial grower is interested 
in. Good grower, late, attractive and sells well. 
PATHFINDER. An introduction of the New Jersey Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station. Was formerly known as No. 35. A _ cross 
between Howard 17 and Aberdeen. Has been tested throughout 
the Eastern and Northwest sections of the country and resuits 
were generally favorable especially in sections where Premier 
is adaptable. Berries cone-shaped, colors a bright uniform red 
all over, large and a heavy cropper, quality good, ripens a liitle 
later than Premiez. 
aE For a good many years this has been the best plant 
seller of them all, hence, has been a profitable one for the berry 
grower. Early, almost frost proof, always producing good crops, 
attractive, gcod grower, productive, medium to large berries, and 
if not too wet at picking time a good shipper but if there is a 
lack of sunshine the berries do not keep well. In some sections 
growers will not plant anything else for a crop of early berries. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. Excellent for canning and very delicious for 
table use. Blossoms are perfect and its long blooming season 
makes it good for planting with imperfect flowering sorts. 
STRAWBERRIES ALL SUMMER AND FALL 
There should always be some of these varieties in the home 
garden. They will start fruiting 90 days after the plants are set 
and produce all through the summer and fall till there is a heavy 
frost. Any family that enjoys delicious strawberries (and we be- 
lieve most everyone does) should not be without at least one of 
the everbearing varieties. Just think, you can have delicious 
strawberry shortcake, strawberries and cream and all other straw- 
berry desserts all through the summer and fall, with very little ex- 
pense, for if given proper care each plant will often produce a 
cuart or more of delicious berries during their long fruiting season. 
You can have plenty for your own use and then sell enough to pay 
your expenses from just a small patch. Your neighbors will be 
glad to buy them at good prices. Mastodon is recognized as be- 
ing the best for commercial purposes as well as for home use. 
Gem is a newer one and is steadily coming to the front. Maybe 
not any better than Mastodon but some say it is.
