CATSKILL 



For YOU if you want 

 the largest berries 



CATSKILL is still the most popular midseason, 

 although it has lost a share of its popularity to 

 Sparkle, Fairland, Big Joe and Scarlet Beauty. It 

 has excellent frost resistance and in normal years 

 can be considered one of the more vigorous varie- 

 ties. However, in unusual years it is not at its best 

 and seems to suffer more from drought than most 

 varieties. 



When CATSKILL is good it can't be beat. If you 

 want unbelievably large, and delicious berries be 

 sure to plant some. But to be on the safe side, plant 

 some of the midseasons we have mentioned, too. 



Prices: 100 plants $3.00; 1000 plants $15.00. Complete Price List on Page 47.

Few varieties have ever received the acclaim tliat has 

 greeted SCARLET BEAUTY since it originated in Michigan 

 several years ago. Reports indicate that it has outsold all 

 other strawberries in the midseason ripening range in Michi- 

 gan and it is now being grown throughout the Premier grow- 

 ing states. 



SCARLET BEAUTY is truly described by its name. Ber- 

 ries are the most uniformly large of any variety that we offer 

 and the cardinal red color is solid all the way through. Firm 

 skin makes it an excellent shipping berry that will withstand 

 plenty of handling. This firmness means freezing and canning 

 quality, too. 



ROBINSON (or SCARLET BEAUTY) is highly produc- 

 tive over a long fruiting season that begins soon after Premier 

 Large thick fruiting stems with heavy foliage that makes a 

 wide fruiting row. Seems adaptable to a wider range of soils 

 than most varieties and has shown up better in light, sand:\' 

 dry land soils. 



SCARLET BEAUTY is certainly well worth a trial in 

 Premier growing areas. We know you will enjoy its unusual 

 beauty. We believe you will be pleased with the tangy, rich 

 sweet flavor that has made it so popular with northern growers. 



Prices: 100 plants $2.70; 1000 plants $13.50.

 My customers tell me they have never before eaten such delicious 

 strawberries as I had this year. They are Catskills which I pur- 

 chased from you four years ago.

 We think the Scarlet Beauty the best berry we ever had. We 

 have had an awful demand for the berries.

 I got berries last spring, the Scarlet Beauty and Temple. I 

 could not fill the demand. Yielded a wonderful crop.
