CATSKILL. The Enormous Cropper 
Midseason. Perfect Flowering 
Introduced in 1933. A cross of Premier and Marshall. We 
have fruited Catskill for two years. In 1936 we fruited it under 
the adverse conditions of a drought and late frosts. We picked an 
enormous crop of large sized, high quality berries, which matured 
without rainfall from blosoming to-maturity. There was no loss 
by damage of late frosts, other varieties being hurt badly. We are 
greatly impressed with Catskill, and do not hesitate to recommend 
it, especially where late frosts have damaged other varieties. 
Reports coming from the Northeastern states are exceptionally 
favorable. 
The plant is vigorous and healthy. The berries are large and 
uniform in shape. The color is a bright red. The cap is a light 
green. The appearance is attractive. Catskill is firm enough to 
withstand shipping considerable distance. The flavor is equal to, 
if not superior to Big Joe. It is an enormous cropper. 
We have a large supply of superior plants. We are pricing 
Catskill plants far below the usual price for a new variety of such 
exceptional merits. We suggest that you, at least, try a few.
