CATSKILL 
THE CHAMPION OF ITS CLASS! 
BeAl MIDSEASON Itewup Ut the would!!! 
Look at the record and you’ll see why. For eight straight years Catskill 
has not failed to produce a bumper crop—big, beautiful berries and lots of 
them! ! ! Except for Blakeinore in the South and Premier in the Northern 
and Middle states, no variety ever took hold so quickly and won public approval 
so fast as Catskill. From the frosty hillsides of Vermont and other states in the 
North to the fertile fields and gardens of Virginia, Tennessee and Missouri in 
the South, Catskill’s title as the best Midseason berry is generally recognized. 
In higher altitudes even farther South, Catskill is fine for the home garden 
or local market. 
Catskill rates at the top because it ranks high in so many different things 
which go to make up a really fine profitable variety. 
Plant growth is vigorous and healthy. Enough strong plants are made 
for a good fruiting bed. On very rich soil they may have to be thinned a little. 
Like most of the New York varieties, Catskill shows a little leaf spot when 
grown this far south but never enough to affect the crop. 
Productiveness is all that could be desired. Here in Maryland it is even 
more productive than Premier. We believe our record of 32,000 quarts of Cats¬ 
kill on three acres (selling for $3500.00) is absolute tops for any field of its 
size in this section. In New England and New York state, yields up to 15,000 
quarts per acre have been reported. 
A sure cropper. Catskill has never missed a crop in the eight years since 
its introduction. Premier’s frost-proof, sure-cropping record may be longer 
than that of Catskill, but it’s no better. Premier and Catskill, early and late! 
What a pair to tie to for those who want safety in strawberry growing! 
Big berries! Catskill will produce not only a greater total yield but a
