The KING 



OF 



MID-SEASON 



STRAWBERRIES 



FROST RESISTANT 

 SUPER CROPPER 



CATSKILL — The sugar flavored 

 strawberry proclaimed as the heav- 

 iest yielding mid-season variety. The 

 rise in popularity of this highly produc- 

 tive berry has been nothing short of phe- 

 nomenal. Its fame with growers as a "super 

 cropper", and its large, bright, shiny red 

 fruit, has established for Catskill the highest 

 record among all marketable, mid-season berries. 

 Its adaptability to a wide range of soils and climatic 

 conditions has served to further make it an all around 

 favorite. While our strain of Catskill is direct from the orig- 

 inators at Geneva, New York, we have, through careful plant 

 selection, produced a strain that is considered by some of the 

 largest growers in the country to be far superior in vigorous 

 growing habits and heavier yielding qualities than any other 

 strain of this same variety. In recommending this variety. we 

 do not hesitate in assuring you that our strain of Catskill is one 

 that is certain to prove 

 more than satisfactory. 



Superlative for Canning and Freezing 



RICIH COLOR— Bright, shiny red, similar to Big Joe. A double cap of 

 green and its size and coloring make an attractive looking appearance 

 when offered to the buyer. 



SIZE — The extra large size of Catskill, from a commercial grower's stand- 

 point, is undoubtedly its greatest attribute. This fact makes Catskill a 

 more than outstanding value, and causes it to demand higher prices at 

 market time. Catskill keeps its size well until the last fruit is harvested. 



QUALITY — Its very fine texture, and its ability in holding up well after 

 picking, makes this variety an admirably suited berry for long distance 

 shipping — a fact that is appreciated by berry growers. On a par with 

 such outstanding berries as Premier, Dorsett, Fairfax, Chesapeake and Big 

 Joe, the flavor of Catskill makes it a much-in-demand commercial value. 



PRODUCTIVITY — Big profits in every state east of the Mississippi — and 

 in several states west, have lent substantial support to the general en- 

 thusiasm voiced by growers of this prolific variety. Due to results real- 

 ized in our own test plots, we heartily agree with these growers thai 

 Catskill is the heaviest producing mid-season variety ever grown. We 

 cannot see how any grower can fail to make big profits. Nothing short 

 of an outright calamity can keep Catskill from coming through \%ith 

 bumper crops.
