CATS KILL 



THE CHAMPION OF ITS CLASS! 

 /Sed^ MIDSEASON ^^ ^ i/te wo^H! 



Look at the record and you'll see T^liy, For eight straight years Catskill 

 has not failed to produce a bumper crop — big, beautiful berries and lots of 

 them! ! ! Except for Blakemore in the South and Premier in the Northern 

 and Middle states, no variety ever took hold so quickly and ivon public approval 

 so fast as Catskill. From the frosty liillsides of Vermont and other states in the 

 yorth to the fertile fields and gardens of Tirginia, Tennessee and Missouri in 

 the South, CatskilFs title as the best Midseason berry is generally recognized. 

 In higher altitudes even farther South, Catskill is fine for the home garden 

 or local market. 



Catskill rates at the top because it ranks high in so many different things 

 which go to make up a really fine profitable variety. 



Plant growth is vigorous and healthy. Enough strong plants are made 

 for a good fruiting bed. On very rich soil they may have to be thinned a little. 

 Like most of the New York varieties, Catskill shows a little leaf spot when 

 grown this far south but never enough to affect the crop. 



Productiveness is all that could be desired. Here in Maryland it is even 

 more productive than Premier. We believe our record of 32,000 quarts of Cats- 

 kill on three acres (selling for $3500.00) is absolute tops for any field of its 

 size in this section. In New England and New York state, yields up to 15,000 

 quarts per acre have been reported. 



A sure cropper. Catskill has never missed a crop in the eight years since 

 its introduction. Premier's frost-proof, sure-cropping record may be longer 

 than that of Catskill, but it's no l)etter. Premier and Catskill, early and late! 

 What a pair to tie to for those w^ho want safety in strawberry growing! 



Big berries! Catskill will produce not only a greater total yield but a
