 at Geneva, New York, we have thru careful plant 

 selection produced a strain that i« ™nsi<ierpd 

 by some of the largest berry growers in the

 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.
