WE RECOMMEND IT HIGHLYlThe texture of berry

 its shape and firmness even though the berries were over-ripe 

 at time of inspection. The nlant crowth was vigorous and a 

 good fruiting bed noticeable The outstanding values of Pathfinder 

 at time of inspection was the heavy yielding ability and uniform 

 shape of the fruit. It ripens about the same time "as Dorsett and 

 Fairfax. From all appearance of this berrv we predict a bright 

 future, and recommend to all our customers that they give it a 

 trial this year. Plants are scarce and supplv limited. We advise 

 ordering early!
