BIG JOE 
A good one. Until the coming of Catskill, the leading midseason variety. 
The Big Four 
On pages 9, 10, 11 and 12 of this catalog there are descriptions of what 
we believe to be the best varieties in existence today; Dorsett, Fairfax, Pre¬ 
mier and Catskill. 
They posess all the elements that make for success: vigor of growth, 
productivity, stamina at fruiting time, freedom from disease, and what is 
most important, the handsome appearance that always commands the high¬ 
est price. 
Of the four, Premier is the most popular as yet. It is early, productive 
and a success under all conditions of soil and climate, but Dorsett and Fairfax 
may replace it in our opinion, certainly in many localities. 
We feel that a mistake is made when a long list of varieties is planted. 
Differing widely in general appearance, different varieties do not crate up 
well together, pickers are not satisfied to gather carefully the smaller and 
less productive kinds. Many of them are inferior in some particular, hence 
we unhesitatingly recommend these four of tested merit and unquestioned 
superiority. Of course, if it has been demonstrated that for your special 
situation of either soil or market that other kinds are best, we will be glad 
to fill your order. 
Not One Died 
Chester Co., Pa., March 6, 1939. We got Dorsett, Fairfax, Premier and 
Catskill from you in 1937. Our berries were positively wonderful last sum¬ 
mer, and what a crop. The girls sold them like hot cakes. We cleared $100.00 
and all we could put up and give away. Planted them the first week in April 
and I don’t think one plant died. Mrs. James Stewart.
