as many plants as Dorsett it is a very good grower and the plants are quite large 
and heavy rooted. Here the Fairfax does not ripen as early as Dorsett but the 
fruit is larger and firmer, can be shipped to distant markets and it readily sells 
for fancy prices. 
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 for the past two years it was among 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., Del., for 
several years and I have been hearing a great deal about it from growers of those 
sections. Some of the growers told me they were planting nothing but this 
on their stiff and black loamy soils, and were discarding both Chesapeake and 
Lupton, which had been their principal varieties, because it is a better grower 
and more productive than either of those varieties. I have seen it fruiting in 
different sections and it is a 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 the plants are large and tall with a heavy root system. As fruited here last 
season and in other places where I have seen it I believe it is much better than 
most varieties ripening in late mid-season and if you have a stiff, or black loamy 
soil I believe you will be pleased with it after giving it a trial.
