BEST NORTHERN STRAWBERRY- RAY- 

 NER'S VIRUS-FREE STOCK BRINGS OUT 

 THE FULL VIGOR OF THIS OUTSTAND- 

 ING LARGE, PRODUCTIVE VARIETY. 



If we had to select oue variety for the northeastern 

 states there is no doubt that it would be Catskill. This 

 outstanding introduction of the Ne\Y York Experiment Sta- 

 tion is a leader for l)oth home garden and commercial plant- 

 ing. Catskill ripens in midseason, about 5 days after Trem- 

 ier, producing extra heavy yields of large, sweet, beautiful 

 berries. The berries are very large, and maintain their 

 good size during the entire picking season. They are ir- 

 regular round-shaped and of a bright, medium red color. 



The cap is large and attractive. I'lants of Catskill are large and produce an abundance of vig- 

 orous runners. The plants are usually well-spaced in the bed. 



For high yields there are few varieties that will equal Catskill. In 195G it officially yield- 

 ed at the rate of 10,800 quarts per acre in West Virginia and at 10.200 quarts per acre in 

 Ohio. It is a good variety as far north as Ontario, Canada : southward to West Virginia and 

 westward to Indiana. In this entire area Catskill is one of the best producers and brings best 

 prices. AVith Rayner's virus-free stock Catskill will make those excellent fruiting rows that 

 produce Innnper crops of high quality l>erries. CatskiU's only faults are that the berry is 

 somewhat rough and too soft for long distance hauling. It is very good for freezing and is 

 considered to be one of the most relialile of all varieties. 



a fine variety you cannot go wrong with Kaj-ner's

Ei^lDAWN 



EARLIEST OF ALL STRAWBERRIES 



VIKIS-FKEE 



The two features that have created so much 

 attention for Earlid;iwn are its very early season 

 and its high production. In nearly all tests this 

 r. S. Dept. of Agrictilrure introduction, has been 

 the earliest of all strawberries. It ripens about 

 2 days l)efore Midland and about 5 days before Premier. Yields of Earlidawn have been very 

 good in most tests. The berries are very firm, of large size and are very attractive. However, 

 they may not appeal to some as a home garden berry because of the tart tiavor. IMant^s of 

 Harlidawn are large and vigorous but do not produce as dense a bed as some varieties. Earli- 

 dawn is very good for freezing and processing. We recommend Earlidawn for trial planting 

 in the northeastern and central states.
