CATSKILL 



Facts and Friends 



Following are some gf the reasons why CATSKILL is KING: 



1. Adaptation. Catskill is well adapted to all northern states and the higher 

 altitudes as far south as North Carolina and westward beyond the Missis- 

 sippi River. 



2. Berries. Catskill berries are large size, moderately firm, fine quality and 

 attractive appearance. See Color Picture opposite page. 



3. Hardiness. Catskill has an amazing record of producing successive crops of 

 fine fruit. 



4. Productiveness. Catskill has more nice, large size fruit and yields a greater 

 quantity of berries than any other equally productive variety. 



5. Use. Catskill berries are fine for fresh market, good for freezing. Ease of 

 capping makes Catskill berries extra good for processing. 



6. Bonus. Catskill berries are an excellent source of Vitamin C. 



Shortly after our 1970 Book of Berries was published and mailed, the letters 

 started pouring in. Our friends wanted to let us know they approved the crown- 

 ing of Catskill. They COMPLIMENT CATSKILL as follows: 



March 2, 1970 Catskill is deserving of the crown. It should please Dr. George 

 L. Slate to no end. Until we get n variety to match its constant high productivity, 

 good looks and good eating quality, Catskill ^vill he number one with us. Catskill 

 satisfies more people than any other variety. Over 50% of our acreage is devoted 

 to Catskill.

Dear Sirs; Please send me 75 Redchief and 75 Catskill plants. If you should be 

 out of Redchief, you may make the total order Catskill, as they are as you say, 

 "The King". I want to thank you people at Aliens for the prompt service rendered 

 when I called and explained that my order of 800 plants had spoiled en route 

 because of a delay in delivery service. Four days after I called, 1 received a 

 replacement order of 800 plants and they were in excellent condition. It certainly 

 is a pleasure to deal with a reliable firm such as Allen's. 



Respectfully, Donald F. Majeski

We like Catskill so well that we want to try them again. The size, taste, color and 

 freezing qualities are perfect. Thank you for your nice plants.

Just a word about Catskill! Glad to see the crown put on Catskill- I think it ought 



to have been on a long time ago. Thanks a lot.

July, 1970 Please make the same arrangements as previous years — by mail. May 

 1, 1971. This year, I picked over 6,000 qts. from 4,000 plants on my Catskill. 

 You can put them to the head of the class! Jerseyhelle next, I picked over 8,000 

 quarts on 6,000 plants. Beat that for a pick-your-own program/
