WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



SURECROP 



For Sure Crops 



SURECROP was introduced in Mary- 

 land in 1950 and released in 1956. In 

 the parentage of SURECROP we have 

 the Fairland, another great variety. 

 SURECROP has wide adaptability, 

 growing well from the upper south 

 through the middle states and into the 

 north. 



Plants of SURECROP are large and 

 full growing, with fine healthy foliage. 

 They are extremely vigorous, produc- 

 ing runners freely. SURECROP plants 

 are strong, hardy and productive. 

 SURECROP plants have triple re- 

 sistance to red stele, excellent resistance 

 to verticillium wilt, leaf spots, leaf 

 scorch and drought. SURECROP is an 

 outstanding midseason variety. 



SURECROP berries are large, fairly 

 round, bright and shiny red. The flavor 

 is tart and good. Size of berries holds 

 up well all through the season and they 

 are excellent for freezing. Firm berries 

 ship well. In any berry field, SURE- 

 CROP will be outsanding for vigor of 

 plant growth and healthy, hardy foli- 

 age. For fancy quality berries you 

 should have plants of SURECROP in 

 your garden. Order now. See color 

 page 24. 



We have had Surecrop for a number of 

 years now and are more than pleased with 

 the yield — excellent for eating, freezing 

 and marketing but thought we would try 

 another variety to see if anything could 

 possibly equal Surecrop. From our 3-120 

 ft. rows we picked 607 quarts of beautiful 

 berries.

W. F. Allen Co. — For many years we have 

 been growing your Catskill. The plants 

 always are in good condition on arrival. 

 They produce very good. Catskills are 

 really nice large flavorful berries. I freeze 

 many each year.

CATSKILL 



The Leader 



CATSKILL was introduced in New 

 York in 1923. It has reigned as King 

 of Varieties since then except for a 

 short time — just before 1954 when 

 virus free stocks were made available. 

 CATSKILL is still a leader in sales 

 and still has many things going for it. 

 CATSKILL is well adapted to all the 

 northern states and the higher altitudes 

 as far south as North Carolina and 

 westward to the Mississippi. 



CATSKILL plants are productive. 

 They are excellent in runner making. 

 CATSKILL plants are full and most 

 attractive in the field. Hardiness and 

 good resistance to verticillium wilt 

 have contributed to CATSKILL popu- 

 larity in a wide area. CATSKILL ber- 

 ries are very large. They are long conic 

 and rather irregular in shape. Mod- 

 erately firm. Skin color is bright crim- 

 son red with lighter red flesh, making 

 for a very attractive berry. CATSKILL 

 berries are excellent for desserts and 

 satisfactory for freezing. Other plus 

 factors with the great CATSKILL are 

 ease of capping and high Vitamin C 

 content. You must have some Catskill 

 plants to set this season. Order now! 

 See color page 29 . 



I ordered 200 of your plants last year about 

 now. Lost about 2 Catskill variety. They are 

 out of this world when you talk about 

 berries.

/ have ordered plants from you for several 

 years and want to thank you for your good 

 service and hardy plants. One year I set 

 out 5,000 of your plants, and 2 days later 

 we got a severe cold spell and snow. The 

 ground froze 3 inches and we had 2 inches 

 of snow but I didn't lose 10 plants out of 

 the 5,000. People who pick berries in my 

 patch really marvel about those Catskill. 

 They can't believe a berry can get so big 

 and taste so good up here in the north.
