BERRIES YOU CAN'T AFFORD 

 TO PASS UP 



BIG JOE 



(Midseason to Late Fruiting) 



LARGE ^Jewcy, BERRY 



FOR the past twenty years Big Joe has been 

 giving the berry growers throughout the 

 country excellent results. Like Premier, the 

 leading early variety, and Town King, the leading late 

 variety, so it is with Big Joe as the leading midseason 

 variety. In size and beauty it is all any one could desire, 

 and through the years that we have offered Big Joe 

 we have heard nothing but praise about it. Big Joe 

 will start to ripen about the last pickings of Premier 

 and Dorsett, which is at a time when large fancy berries 

 like Joe will bring a fancy price on any market. There 

 is nothing but good qualities about the Joe, and grow- 

 ers, who have been successful with Joe, will continue 

 to plant it. To the grower who has not been successful 

 with them, then we recommend planting Catskill, the 

 new midseason berry of recent introduction. 

 Some of the Outstanding Good Points About Big Joe 

 Size — Large to very large berries. 

 Color — Rich red, double green cap. 

 Quality — Ranks with the best in flavor and shipping. 

 Productiveness — Under favorable growing conditions very 

 few varieties its equal. 



Vigor — Strong grower on most all types of soil. At its best 

 on clay or well drained, springy loam soil.

ABERDEEN is about a week later than Premier 

 and is one of the most productive varieties 

 on our list. Fruit averages large throughout 

 the season. Color, a bright, shiny red. Berries mostly a 

 top shape having a beautiful green calyx that adds ma- 

 terially to its beauty. In plant growth "it ranks with the 

 very best, making a fine fruiting row on any ordinary 

 soil. It is very solid, an excellent shipper when grown m 

 the northern states. Some of the leading horticulturists of 

 the North rank Aberdeen ahead of all other varieties. 

 while one of the largest berry growers in Oswego County. 

 New York advises us that out of ten leading , . 

 fruiting on his farm Aberdeen was the heaviest yielder and 

 sold for top prices throughout the shipping season. Another 

 grower in New Jersey advised us that his 1937 a 

 Aberdeen averaged better than 11.000 quarts per acre on 

 a five-acre planting. 



Give Aberdeen a fair trial on any ordinary soil and you 

 will be surprised at the good results obtained.
