Catskill (Per.) Midseason. The Catskill is a 
new variety from the New York Experiment Station 
at Geneva, N. Y. A Midseason berry ripens about 
a week after Howard 17. Awarded a medal by the 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society in Boston for its 
large size and handsome appearance. A cross of 
Marshall and Howard 17. The plants are large, very 
vigorous and yield very heavy crops. The berries are 
very large, moderately firm, bright red in color, 
glossy and attractive, and good in quality. The 
Catskill, like the Fairfax and Dorsett, makes too 
many plants and should not be allowed to set too 
many, as we find the largest and finest berries are 
always where plants are fairly wide apart. The 
Catskill outyielded the Fairfax and the Dorsett and 
equalled the Howard 17 in our test plot last year. 
The Catskill to be at its best needs fairly heavy and 
rich land.

Mr. George Rennie, 
Dear Sir: 
I want to tell you about the 1,000 strawberry plants I 
bought from you. They were wonderful; the best plants I 
ever bought from anybody, and to think I only lost three 
plants out of the lot and I did not set them out until June. 
They did finely. Whenever I buy any more plants it will be 
from George Rennie. 
Yours very truly, 
ARTHUR A. TRUMPOLDT.
