BIG YIELDS OF BIG BERRIES 
OUTSTANDING NORTHERN VARIETY 
VIRUS-FREE—WINTER HARDY 
This famous berry has long been the leading 
variety in most of the northeastern United States. 
It is especially hardy and consistently produces 
unusually big crops. Berries of Catskill are large, 
bright in color, and of excellent flavor. They 
ripen in midseason and are a favorite for local 
sales and home gardens. Catskill is generally not 
firm enough for long distance shipment but is 
excellent for “pick them yourself” plantings. 
Plants of Catskill are very vigorous and resistant 
to leaf troubles and verticillium wilt. This 
variety was introduced by the New York Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station in 19383 and still re- 
mains a favorite with thousands of growers who 
like the customers below, praise its bumper crops of 
big delicious berries. Through Penna. and north- 
ward into Canada, Catskill gives fine results in 
| nearly any soil that is reasonably fertile and moist.

T have tried a lot of strawberries but Catskill has them all beat. I pick berries that are 2 inches through and 
my customers really like them. Mr. RayKonp C. Kirk, Honey Grove, Pa.

UNUSUALLY 
VIGOROUS 
Extra Large Berries 
Robinson (also known as Kardinal King and Scarlet 
Beauty) has several outstanding good features that far 
outweigh its less desirable qualities. It is one of the most 
vigorous plant makers and will often give good results in 
poor or sandy soils where other varieties fail. Even under 
drought conditions it will usually produce good crops. An- 
other fine quality is its very large berry size. Fruits of 
Robinson are very big, and with their light red color they 
bring good prices. Its ripening period begins soon after 
Premier, but it is generally considered a midseason variety. 
The plants are small but the fruiting beds are very wide and 
vigorous—in fact, best results are obtained if late-formed 
runners are removed. Robinson is resistant to verticillium 
wilt. 
In cool climates the quality and firmness of Robinson is 
good enough to satisfy most customers. However, in warm 
areas it may not be suitable. Because of its vigor and large 
berry size Robinson remains a favorite of many home gar- 
deners and commercial growers in the northeast.
