The plants are extraordinarily vigorous and deep rooted and 
of large size. The berries ar among the very largest grown, 
have a very glossy color and heavy green cap, which combine to give them a 
very showy appearance. When placed on the market it is almost sure to out¬ 
sell all comptitors on account of size and appearance, since Dorsett and 
Premier will be somewhat run down by the time it is ready to pick. The most 
remarkable feature of it is the tremendous crop which it produces. Many 
keen observers give it a 25% margin over the Big Joe. 
Mr. John F. Martin of Lancaster Co., Pa., written under date of July 13th, 
1938, says, “My experience in fruiting the Catskill this year is to the effect 
that it is a truly wonderful berry. My Premier did well, but the Catskili 
did much better. We had favorable weather during the picking season; a 
little rain once or twice a week. The first ones were very large and we got a 
fancy price for them, while the later berries held up well and sold for a good 
price. We are well pleased with them and expect to plant them again.” 
Under date of July 5th, Mr. Frank Coulston of Indiana, has this to say. 
“The Catskill and Fairfax are the best berries that I have ever raised, but 
have been unable to make up my mind which I had rather have. I have 
found both of them as described in your catalogue. The only drawback I 
could see in the Fairfax is the dark color and too, the Catskill sells the best 
I believe.” 
One of the leading growers in York Co., Pa., says that it is the most 
productive kind that he had ever seen fruit in his long experience as a berry 
grower. 
If you are interested in a berry to ripen just after Premier and Darsett 
we unhesitatingly recommend the Catskill. It appears to be sure to become 
the leading variety of its season.
