CATSKILL 
(Midseason) 
Largest and Most Productive 
This variety is a New York Station seedling 
No. 4435. Before this variety was named it took a 
prize at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in 
Boston. Catskill is a cross between Marshall and 
Premier. It seems that Catskill will be well worth 
planting as a midseason berry. Catskill is a vigorous 
grower and makes a large number of strong, healthy 
plants. The berries are very large in size, somewhat 
irregular, but have a brilliant red color and a bright 
green cap, which makes them very showy in the box. 
25 for 40c; 50 for 60c; 100 for $1.00; 250 for $2.00; 
500 for $3.50; 1000 for $6.75. 
An offspring of the old Progressive 
Everbearing Strawberry. Berries are above 
average in size and the flavor is similar to 
Progressive or Champion. The berries 
are firm and will stand shipping. The 
plants make a vigorous growth, produce 
runners quite freely with a type of growth 
similar to Senator Dunlap, making num- 
erous small plants rather than a smaller 
number of large plants like the Mastodon. 
In considering the growth habit of Gem 
it would produce more and larger berries, 
if the plants would be grown under the 
hill system or the runner production 
limited to a very few. Try this outstand' 
ing new commercial variety this season. 
25 for 60c; 50 for 75c; 100 for $1.15; 
250 for $2.35; 500 for $4.00; 1000 for 
$7.90. 
CHAMPION 
Ever bearer 
This variety is an old everbearer, a smaller berry than 
the Mastodon. They are sweet as sugar, having a fine 
flavor and are known to be very firm. When you plant 
Champion you are sure to raise a fine crop of NICE 
BERRIES. They start bearing ninety days after they 
are planted and continue all through the summer and 
fall, same as the Mastodon. We recommend this berry 
for home use and canning. The originator claims 
U. S. record of 5,623 quarts per acre that sold for 
$2,059.20 from first year crop. They are well worth 
trying. 25 for 60c; 50 for 75c; 100 for $1.15; 250 
for $2.35; 500 for $4.00; 1000 for $7.95. 
What a Treat l 
Strawberry shortcake all summer and fall until snow flies. 50 to 100 plants—just a 
small place in your garden—will provide plenty of fruit for the average family.
