10 GEORGE RENNIE, ANDOVER, MASS. 
CATSKILL (Per.) Midseason 
The Catskill is a midseason berry; ripens about 
a week after the Howard 17. A cross of the Mar- 
shall 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 quality. The bright, shiny red 
berries make an attractive package in the basket or 
in the crate. The berries are so large they should be 
sold in trays, rather than in crates. On rich land the 
Catskill makes too many plants and should not be 
allowed 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 Cat- 
skill for midseason to late. The berries are produced 
on strong stems that keep the berries up off the 
ground. They dry off after heavy rain and you get 
very few rotten berries. Not quite as heavy a crop- 
per as the Howard 17. They ripen about a week 
after the Howard. They are at their best when the 
Howard is starting to run down a little in size. 
Therefore they bring a better price in the market. 
The Catskill is getting better known now. Every year 
we increase our planting of Catskill. Plant the How- 
ard 17 on the light to medium land and the Catskill 
on the heavy land.
