CATSKILL 



BIG YIELDS OF BIG BERRIES 



OUTSTANDING NORTHERN VARIETY 



VIRUS FREE. WINTER HARDY 



The outstanding feature of Catskill is its 

 consistently high yields throughout the north- 

 ern states. Under most growing conditions, 

 its virus-free vigor and extreme winter hard- 

 in'ess always result in fine production. Thus, 

 it is well liked by the amateur who wants a 

 strawberry that is easy to grow and it is a 

 favorite for commercial planting where this 

 dependability is so important. In addition 

 to such fine plant vigor and high yields Cat- 

 skill has excellent berries of large size. The 

 flavor is good and they have a nice bright 

 red color. Berries of Catskill are not as firm 

 as some varieties and for best results should 

 be handled promptly. But for many years 

 this has been the leading midseason variety 

 throughout most of the northeast so it must 

 be good. Catskill was developed in 1933, at 

 the New York Experiment Station and has 

 consistently been one of the best of all straw- 

 berries. It is noted for its tall, light green 

 foliage which is so resistant to leaf troubles. 

 Likewise. Catskill is highly resistant to Ver- 

 ticillium Wilt, which is of importance in 

 some northern soils. Recent tests in West 

 Virginia showed an outstanding average yield under 

 acre. 



For good results with strawberries in cool climates be sure to try some of R 

 irtered virus-free Catskill. Order early and we will reserve your plants.

I received 2000 strawberry plants about 2 weeks ago and I don't believe a single plant had 



died. I also have 2000 from last year that are growing very well and I am expecting a big crop 



from them. Samuel Weeks, Jr.

 98% are growing. Well pleased.
