CATSKILL 



The Biggest Profit Berry of the Mid-Seasons 



Catskill is today the leading midseason variety, con- 

 tinuely showing the growers larger profits than any other 

 midseason sort, growers who planted this variety when it 

 was first introduced are now growing Catskill as their 

 main midseason berry. The enormous yields of large 

 beautiful berries, their adaptability to a wide range of 

 soil and climatic conditions, combined with their vigor- 

 ous plant growth and ability to produce a bumper crop 

 under adverse conditions has truly made them the fav- 

 orite midseason variety. 



GROWTH— Catskill makes a very vigorous, healthy growth. 



SIZE — Berries average large to very large, makes a nice 

 package that demands top prices, holding their size well to 

 the end of the season. 



FIRMNESS — The largest berries are as firm as any extremely large berry, but not as firm as those of 

 average size, however they are firm enough to stand shipment well. 



PRODUCTIVENESS — With us, Catskill is one of the heaviest producing varieties, our plants were di- 

 rect from the N. Y. Experiment Station and have become noted for their fruiting ability, some years 

 they have even out-yielded Premier. The enormous size of the berries quickly fills the basket so that of- 

 ten over 10,000 quarts of top quality berries are produced from an acre. Be sure to include them in your 

 planting this year.

NORTHSTAR 



A new second early variety, introduced in 

 1939 from a cross of Premier and Redheart. 

 On moist rich soils this variety has proven a 

 leader under wide tests. Recommended on 

 this type of soil in sections North of Virginia 

 and Westward. Northstar produces a well- 

 spaced fruiting row on rich soil, plants are 

 large and vigorous, foliage protecting the 

 blooms so well they are very resistant to frost. 

 The flowers contain an abundance of pollen 

 thus usually set all blossoms. They are good 

 producers of large to extra large berries, hold- 

 ing their size throughout the entire season. 

 The berries are firm, with exceptionally fine 

 flavor and will stand shipment well. To the 

 grower who takes pride in offering a really 

 high type of berry, and has rich moist soil we 

 recommend Northstar, he will probably find 

 it his most profitable sort. 



SEN. DUNLAP 



(Dr. Burrell. A good home garden and can- 

 ning variety of long standing. For many years 

 very popular in the north and central states. 

 We do not recommend them south of the 

 Mason-Dixon line. The plants are very hardy 

 and vigorous and are the most freely bedding 

 variety we have, with the possible exception 

 of Blakemore. The plants are small and 

 should not be permitted to become too thick in 

 the row. A heavy producer of medium sized, 

 dark red fruit of fair quality. The greatest 

 advantage of Dunlap is its ability to make a 

 good growth and produce heavily under almost 

 any condition.

PATHFINDER 



This comparatively new early mid-season 

 variety is steadily gaining favor with the ber- 

 ry growers. Its outstanding ability to produce 

 a good fruiting bed of large vigorous plants 

 and enormous crops of berries is really notice- 

 able. Known first as (N.J. 35) at New Bruns- 

 wick, N. J. these characteristics put it head 

 and shoulders above the other selections and 

 has sent it well up in the strawberry world. 

 The plants are very vigorous, resistant to root 

 diseases, makes long fiberous roots that extend 

 well into the ground and will stand droughts 

 better than any variety. The berries are 

 smooth, fairly firm and have a bright red 

 color, a very good mild flavor. The large fruit 

 makes an attractive package. Recommended 

 for sections in the latitude of Northern New 

 Jersey and Northward. Be sure to include 

 Pathfinder in your 1042 plantings. 



ABERDEEN 



Aberdeen makes a good fruiting row, the 

 plants are quite large and seldom become too 

 dense. The fruit is large, of a medium light 

 red, holding this light color even when over- 

 ripe, quality and flavor are good, although 

 none too firm and should be handled carefully 

 to avoid injury. Picking in the morning and 

 late afternoon, when it is cool, will help great- 

 ly in keeping the fruit in good condition. Pro- 

 perly handled and sold on nearby markets, 

 Aberdeen often brings better returns than va- 

 rieties superior in both quality and firmness. 

 Usually, Aberdeen is as productive as Premier, 

 and fully as attractive. A profitable variety 

 when properly handled, that fills a definite 

 need, especially where the berries can be moved 

 quickly and the hauling distance is short.
