CATSKILL 
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 at 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, firm, bright red in color, glossy and 
attractive and good in quality. The Catskill on rich 
land makes too many plants and should not be al¬ 
lowed to set too many, as we find the largest and 
finest berries are always where plants are fairly 
wide apart. The Catskill keeps good size to the last 
picking and to be at its best should have fairly 
heavy and rich land. Anyone growing for market 
cannot go wrong in planting Howard 17 for early 
and Catskill for midseason to late. The only fault I 
have with the Catskill is its name. They might have 
given it a better name for such a grand variety.
