Adaptation 
Catskill should be grown as the main 
midseason berry in all the northern terri- 
tory where Premier is the best early berry, 
and farther south where Dorsett and Fair- 
fax surpass Premier. As far south as North 
Carolina Catskill will produce tremendous 
crops and yield large returns for the grower. 
We feel safe in saying that regardless 
of previous trials growers will be safe 
in planting this variety. Price list,

Growers All Like 
Catskill 
Catskill Finest Ever 
Rockingham Co., N. H. May 4th, 1938. I think 
Catskill is about the finest thing I have ever seen. I 
picked berries the second week in July and not one 
soft one. — Mr. W. H. Burke. 
One of Best in Ohio 
Darke Co., Ohio. March 23, 1938. Our Catskill has 
fruited two years and if it is frost resistant it will also 
prove to be one of the best here. We have had no 
frosts the last two berry seasons. — Mr. W. H. Linder. 
Catskill Best for South Dakota 
Clay Co., S. D. July 30th, 1938. Catskill seems 
to be the best berry for this district. We have Dorsett, 
Fairfax and Catskill. Have tried Dunlap, Dr. Burrell 
and Premier. We had a wonderful crop but can't tell 
you the exact amount of patch of Catskill as some 
Dorsetts and Fairfax were picked and marketed to- 
gether. We received $5.00 per crate (24 quart boxes) 
and last picking $4.50, after they were smaller. Paid 
$.03 for picking. Have had plants from other com- 
panies before handling yours but really like yours the 
best. Our new patch of Catskill have had a perfect 
stand— Mr. W. E. Flippin. 
Abundant Crop — Nicest Berries 
Smyth Co., Va., March 17th, 1938. My Catskill 
strawberry plants produced an abundant crop last 
year. I am so well pleased with them I am mailing 
a much larger order for Catskill plants this year. The 
Catskill produces the nicest berries under ordinary 
conditions of any strawberries I've ever grown. — Mr. 
W. J. Mercer. 
Rhode Island 
Providence Co., R. I. February 28th, 1938. The 
spring of 1936 I purchased 200 Bellmar and 100 
Catskill strawberry plants from you. Due to a very 
dry summer I lost fully 50 percent of the Bellmar 
plants. You may be pleased to learn that we picked 
last year from the plants that came through 176 quarts 
of the best berries I have ever raised. I sold some- 
thing over 100 quarts. All my customers and friends 
said there were no berries like them that could be 
bought elsewhere in Rhode Island. Their size, large 
green caps and flavor made them excellent berries to 
sell. — Mr. Joseph E. Dyson. 
Catskill Wonderful in New York 
Dutchess Co., N. Y. April 25, 1938. The Catskill 
were wonderful last year. — Dr. Edward J. Nesbitt. 
Thinks Catskill Outyielded Premier 
Dutchess Co., N. Y. June 27, 1938. I have just 
finished harvesting a wonderful crop of strawberries in 
a trifle of over an acre of ground. I have picked 16,000 
quarts of berries. This patch consisted of Dorsett, 
Howard 17 and Catskill. The Howard and Catskill 
outyielded Dorsett fully two to one. I believe the 
Catskill outyielded the Howard in total quarts. I 
believe this to be the best crop of fancy berries ever 
raised in this vicinity. — Mr. E. B. Underhill. 
220 Quarts Catskill from 100 Plants 
Hillsboro Co., N. H. Feb. 18, 1938. Two years ago 
I bought from you several varieties of strawberry 
plants, among them 100 Catskill. I lost some plants 
due to a dry spell shortly after setting, but last sum- 
mer I harvested from the Catskill 220 quarts of fruit 
and I am well satisfied with them. The spring was 
very wet but the long stems kept the fruit off the 
ground and there was little rot although others were 
troubled with rot. I like your plants better than 
others I have purchased. — Mr. Arthur S. Dearborn.
