The Biggest Profit Berrg of the Mid-Seasons 



Catskill is today the leading midseason variety, continuely showing the growers larger 

 profits than any other midseason sort, growers who planted this variety when it was first 

 introduced are now growing Catskill as their main Midseason berry. The enormous yields 

 of large beautiful berries, their adaptability to a wide range of soil and climatic condition, 

 combined with their vigorous plant growth and ability to produce a bumper crop under ad- 

 verse conditions has truly made them the favorite midseason variety. 



GROWTH: Catskill makes a very vigorous, healthy growth. 



SIZE : Berries average large to very large makes a nice package that demands top prices, 

 holding their size well up to the end of the season. 



FIRMNESS: The largest berries are as firm as any extremely large berry, but not as 

 firm as those of average size, however they are firm enough to stand shipment well. 



PRODUCTIVENESS: With us, Catskill is one of the heaviest producing varieties, our 

 plants were direct from the N. Y. Experiment Station and have become noted for their 

 fruiting ability, some years they have even out-yielded Premier. The enormous size of the 

 berries quickly fills the basket so that often over 10,000 qts. of top quality berries are pro- 

 duced from an acre. Be sure to include them in your planting this year.

CATSKILL- Big and Plentiful 



NORTHSTAR 



A new second early variety, introduced in 

 1030 from a cross of Premier and Redheart. 

 On moist rich soils this variety has proven a 

 leader under wide tests. Recommended on 

 this type of soil in sections North of Virginia 

 and Westward. Xorthstar produces a well- 

 spaced fruiting row on rich soil, plants are 

 large and vigorous, foliage protecting the 

 blooms so well they are very resistant to frost. 

 The fiowers contain an abundance of pollen 

 thus usually set all blossoms. They are good 

 producers of large to extra large berries, hold- 

 ing their size throughout the entire season. 

 The berries are firm, with exceptionally fine 

 flavor and will stand shipment well. To the 

 grower who takes pride in offering a really 

 high type of berry, and has rich moist soil we 

 recommend Xorthstar, he will probably find 

 it his„most profitable sort. 



PATHFINDER 



This comparatively new early mid-season 

 variety is steadily gaining favor with the ber- 

 ry growers. Its outstanding ability to produce 

 a good fruiting bed of large vigorous plants 

 and enormous crops of berries is really notice- 

 able. Known first as (N.J. 35) at New Bruns- 

 wick, N. J. these characteristics put it head 

 and shoulders above the other selections and 

 has sent it well up in the strawberry world. 

 The plants are very vigorous, resistant to root 

 diseases, makes long fiberous roots that extend 

 well into the ground and will stand droughts 

 better than any variety. The berries arc 

 smooth, fairly firm and have a bright red 

 color, a very good mild flavor. The large fruit 

 makes an attractive package. Recommended 

 for sections in the latitude of Northern New 

 Jersey and Northward. Be sure to include 

 Pathfinder in your 1941 plantings.
