other Central States. In general the fruit of Catskill is too | 
soft for commercial use in Southern states, but for the 
North is is truly an outstanding variety. _ 
Now with Rayner’s yrius-free stock of Catskill this 
variety will give yields of 10.000 te 15,000 quarts per acre. | 
Since virus-free plants were developed Catskill has staged | 
a wonderful come-back and is again the leading eommerci- | 
al variety in many New England areas. Its large berry | 
size makes Catskill a favorite for home gardens, road-side 
stands and other fresh markets. Customers gladly pay an 
extra price for these beautiful, large, berries with their.

Washington, Penna. February 17, 1956 
In 1954 I bought 250 Catskill straw berry 
plants from you and they were wonderful. We 
picked about 350 quarts from these plants. 
When my neighbors saw the beauty of these 
Catskill berries I had difficulty in saving ber- 
ries for my own use. 
Masury, Ohio February 9, 1956 
Would like for you to know that we picked 
1,200 quarts of berries from 5C0 of yeur Catskill 
plants. We did pick more than 1,200 but did 
not keep a record of what we used or gave 
away, only counted what we sold.

ONE OF THE BEST FOR FLAVOR 
HIGH RESISTANCE TO RED STELE 
Originally introduced in 1943 because of its re- 
sistance to the red stele disease Temple rapidly found 
a place throughout most of the central and northeast- 
ern states. This popularity is based on Temple's 
many fine qualities. The berries are large, deep red 
in color, and have a very good attractive cap. They 
are firm and have a good red color all the way 
through. 
It is an excellent all-purpose variety, having won- 
derful flavor, color, and firmness. Temple does best 
in moist. fertile soil; the type of land where red stele 
is often a problem. 
; It grows well in most of the northern states and 
is also good in Maryland and Virginia. Rayner’s 
stock of Temple is very vigorous and will give good 
fruiting beds. Temple is an established favorite with 
hundreds of strawberry growers. 
Prices: 100 plants for $3.50; 1000 for $17.50.
