MIDSEASON VARIETIES 
CATSKILL 
This berry has attracted much attention and from past experi¬ 
ments bids fair to become the leading midseason berry. It is a cross 
of Marshall and Premier. Grows unusually vigorous putting out large 
healthy plants and has a tendency to become too thick if not thinned 
and properly spaced to about 6 plants to the square foot. The berries 
are regular in size but have a bright red color and a nice green cap, 
making it very showy. It yields much heavier than the Big Joe and 
commands a much higher price in the wholesale markets. 
Dr. Russell E. Morgan of Connecticut says: Enclosed find money order 
for the order of plants to be sent about the first of April. The plants 
you sent last year are fine.
