As has been the case for several years, Howard and Premier (which are 
identical) were the best plant sellers and I sold more plants of them than all 
other varieties combined, and I am expecting it will be the same case this year. 
CATSKILL. (Per.) 
A variety that was introduced by the New York Experiment Station and is 
a seedling of Marshall and Premier. It is a good grower of large, healthy plants. 
As fruited here it was one of the most productive of the mid-season varieties, 
the fruit is quite large and somewhat irregular in shape, of good flavor and quite 
firm. 
GOLDSBORO. (Per.) 
A variety that has been grown in Caroline Co., Md., and Kent Co., Dela¬ 
ware for three or four years, and I have been hearing a lot about it from different 
berry growers from those sections. Some of the growers told me they were 
planting nothing but this variety last spring on their stiff and black loamy soils, 
and were discarding both Lupton and Chesapeake, which had been their principal 
varieties, because it is a much better plant grower, and more productive than 
either of those varieties. Last season I went to several different places to see it 
fruiting, and it is certainly an extra fine variety, ripening with Lupton. The 
fruit is very large, firm, bright glossy red in color, and of good flavor; for such 
large berries they are of very even size and shape, with a large green calyx which 
adds to their appearance. One grower told me he had picked 11 berries which 
filled a quart box good and full. The plant growth is very good, free from 
disease, and they are very large and tall, with a heavy root system. I am offer¬ 
ing you this variety because I believe you will be pleased with it if you have a 
stiff, or black loamy soil. 
PREMIER. (Per.) 
Introduced more than 20 years ago every strawberry grower has heard of 
the Premier for it is largely planted in almost all sections, and by almost every 
strawberry grower. It is one of the best and most popular varieties ever intro 
duced and claimed by many to be without an equal for any purpose. It is a 
great success in almost all sections and any soil. The plants are good growers, 
large and heavy-rooted. It ripens with the earliest, is very productive, the fruit 
is large and of delicious flavor, firm, a good keeper, ships well and sells for good 
prices. Many claim it is the most profitable variety they have ever grown. If 
you want a good early variety that is not easily killed by frost, and one that bears 
through a long season you will make no mistake in planting Premier. On all 
soils and under all conditions I do not think any of the newer varieties of the 
same season are as good as Premier. Our Premier plants for this season are 
exceptionally fine with splendid plant beds and I can fill your orders for any 
quantity.

Dear Sir:—Please mail me your strawberry plant catalog 1 . I am looking for 
good plants and am told this is the kind you have. 
Yours truly, JEROME WOLF. 
W. S. TODD, Jackson Co., Ohio, April 2nd, 1935. 
Dear Sir:—I have never used any of your plants but have been informed you 
have such nice ones that I am sending you my order for this year’s planting. 
Very truly yours, MRS. S. G. LEEDY.
