King of the Midseasoti Kinds 



Catskill points the way 

 to greater profits. 



All of our stock of Catskill this year is virus free. 

 The plants have made a wonderful growth with 

 beautiful plants, as pretty as you ever saw. 



Catskill berries, in case you have forgotten or 

 never knew, average large in size. Catskill pro- 

 duces more large berries than any variety we have 

 ever seen. Catskill berries are good in quaHty, 

 better than Premier, not as good as Fairfax. Cats- 

 kill berries are moderately firm, somewhat firmer 

 than Premier, not as firm as Blakemore. Catskill 

 berries are light in color when first picked, becom- 

 ing somewhat darker on holding, about the same 

 as Premier in this respect. Catskill berries are 

 among the very highest of all varieties in vitamin 

 C content. Catskill berries are very showy and 

 attractive in the package, resulting in good market 



prices for the fruit. Catskill berries stand wet 

 weather better than many varieties which are 

 really firmer. Catskill berries are good for freezing 

 and well liked by processors generally. They are 

 easy to pick and cap. 



Catskill has a longer record of frost resistance 

 and hardiness than any leading variety except 

 Premier. Virus free Catskill plants make a very 

 vigorous growth with plenty of large strong pro- 

 ductive plants. In productiveness Catskill has not 

 been surpassed — equalled only by a few like 

 Premier, Tennessee Beauty, Sparkle, etc. 



Plant Catskill for Big Crops of Big Berries. As a 

 sure-fire profit combination for the northern and 

 upper middle states, plant Premier for early. Cats- 

 kill for midseason to late. Price list page 32. 



DI^J J^^C One of the oldest varieties we have and still one of the best. The 



vims disease which seems to be weakening many of our better varieties has ap- 

 parently not affected Big Joe at all. It is still easy to get a vigorous, strong, robust fruit- 

 ing row of Big Joe plants. The plants are moderately productive of berries that average 

 quite large in size. Berries are bright red with an attractive green cap which makes 

 them very showy. Berries are fairly firm, as good as Catskill, better than Premier. 



Big Joe is not as hardy as Premier and Catskill. Frosty sites should be avoided, 

 especially if planted in northern states. Big Joe is a veteran variety which has many 

 friends who continue to grow it. We have a nice stock of beautiful plants. Price list
