PATHFINDER 



Mid-season, Perfect Flowering 



Recently developed by J. H. Clark at the New Jersey 

 Agricultural Experiment Station. It is the result of 

 a cross between Howard Premier and Aberdeen, and 

 it combines the desirable qualities of both. Its foliage 

 is vigorous and upright. The fruit is large, smooth 

 and round, and very uniform in shape. Its color, 

 which is a rich bright rosy red, makes it extremely 

 tempting. 



It is an ideal Strawberry for the home garden, be- 

 cause its texture is soft and luscious. It also possesses 

 a tantalizing aroma which bespeaks a delightful 

 piquant flavor. It is disease resistant and can be 

 grown successfully in areas where the Red Stele 

 fungus is prevalent. 



Price, 60c doz.; $4.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1,000. 



CATSKILL 



Mid-season, Perfect Flowering 



Recently developed at the New York Experiment 

 Station, Geneva, N. Y. The plant is extremely 

 vigorous and produces quantities of runners. The 

 fruit is very large, somewhat elongated and it must 

 be classified as a strictly fancy berry, because of its 

 bright color and dark green cap, which gives it a 

 most attractive appearance. The fruit is delicious 

 in flavor and it possesses a melting tenderness. 



Price, 50c doz.; $3.50 per 100; $20.00 per 1,000. 



DORSETT 



Early to Mid-season, Perfect Flowering' 



The plants are vigorous, with deep rich green 

 foliage, runners are produced in abundance. The 

 flowery stalks are strong, and the fruit is held well 

 above the ground. The beautifully molded, conically 

 shaped, bright red berries are large and uniform in 

 appearance. 



The outstanding merit of this berry, however, is not 

 its size, or appearance, but its delicious flavor. 



Price, 50c per doz. ;$3.50 per 100; $20.00 per 1,000. 



FAIRFAX 



Early to Mid-season, Perfect Flowering 



This variety has often been referred to as the berry 

 "fit for a king." 



The plants are very hardy and disease resistant. 

 The flower stalks are strong, and produce quantities 

 of perfect heavily pollened flowers that are larger 

 than most strawberry blossoms. The berries are 

 very large, somewhat blunt in shape, and bright red 

 with prominent yellow seed. When over-ripe, the 

 fruit turns dark red but still retains its firmness and 

 delicious flavor. 



Price, 50c per doz.; $3.50 per 100; 

 $20.00 per 1,000.

 fully mild wild strawberry flavor.

Fall-Fruiting Varieties 



The varieties described below will produce fruit 

 at the same season as the ordinary strawberries, 

 and keep on Rearing until frost; yet to get the best 

 results the blossoms should be kept cut off until 

 August 1st. so as to conserve the energies of the 

 plants for the fall crop. Treated in that way, ripe 

 fruit will be borne in about three weeks after that 

 date and continuously until frost. 



LUCKY BOY 



Claimed to be "the biggest, sweetest, and most 

 productive ever-bearing strawberry as yet produced." 

 From its behavior with us and the enthusiastic 

 reports we have received from other growers, we

 the future."
