Other Mid-Season Varieties 
ABERDEEN. A comparatively new varicty becoming very popu- 
lar in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and justly so, for it has 
to recommend it. The plants show unusual thriftiness, making an 
abundance of new plants, and we recommend planting the Aberdeen 
24 inches apart in the rows. The Aberdeen is unusually productive, 
equaling or surpassing the Premier. The berries will average larger 
than Premier, being somewhat pointed in shape, and most every berry 
is perfect in shape. Its ripening period extends from two to three 
weeks. 
PATHFINDER. This variety originated at the New Jersey 
Experiment Station. It is a cross of the Premier and the Aber- 
deen and the tests made of this variety have proven it very satisfact- 
ory. Under normal conditions, it ripens about 3 days later than 
Premier and is very productive over a long season. 
From experience, the Pathfinder seems to be one of the new varie- 
ties, resistant to the new disease called, red stele. 
The foliage is a dark green and will make a well spaced, matted 
row of medium large plants. 
The blossom is perfect, the berries are conic in shape, bright red 
in color. The size of berries will run as an average, large, with a sub- 
acid flavor of good quality. I have a limited supply of these plants 
and would suggest that you order early for this variety.
