A lot ol nice tilings have been said about Catskill in the twe 
lirst introduced. No variety ever more richly deserved them, 
commanding place by its own superb periormances — actual yield! 
its growers. For years we have sold at least three times as m 
all other midseason varieties combined.

WHY CATSKILL LEADS— 
Berries are large. Catskill will produce more big berries thai 
ever grown. This is in addition to the many medium sized berri 
finishes up its long bearing season. The new Midland may ma 
berries. 
Berries are firm. They are firm enough for local and neai 
as Dorsett but not as firm as Blakemore for shipping. As grown 
firm enough to stand any shipment strawberries are normally c 
Berries are good. As good as Premier in quality but no 
Dorsett and Starbright. 
Berries are attractive. First berries are sometimes ridged bv 
smooth. An attractive light red color which darkens very slo\ 
Catskill look well and sell well. 
Plants are vigorous. They make a vigorous growth with f 
for a good fruiting bed. A little leaf spot appears as grown in 
South, but not enough to affect the yield. 
Plants are productive. The heaviest crops of any variety tha 
here have been Catskill. In New York and other northern stat 
quarts per acre have l>een reported several times. 
Plants are sure croppers. Catskill has been almost as he 
a cropper as Premier for the last 12 straight years.
