seldom find rotten berries among our Catskills. The foliage is dark 
green and healthy. The plants are vigorous and make a good row. 
We find the demand for Catskill increasing yearly. No commer- 
cial planting should be without it. Plant Catskill to follow Premier. 
You will have two sure-croppers and two money makers. 
DRESDEN — A Heavy Yielder 
Drescen is a very early tremendously productive variety. It 
ripens as early as Premier. The berries are very large and smooth, 
uniformly conic shape and light to medium red in color. We consider 
the quality to be below average and the berries too soft for any- 
thing but the local market. In wet seasons we find that Dresden rots 
rather badly. The plants are healthy and prolific. 
Where yield is the principal consideration, Dresden is your berry. 
Give it a trial under your conditions. The supply of plants is limited. 
DORSETT 
NB , Sorry but we,have no Dorsett to offer the trade this year. 
SPARKLE — A Promising New Variety 
Sparkle is a promising berry developed in New Jersey. We find 
it to be a vigorous growing productive mid-season variety resembling 
Fairfax, one of its parents, in appearance, firmness and color. The 
flavor and quality are much like but not quite equal to Fairfax The 
berries are glossy, bright and medium to large in size. One of its out- 
standing features is its productiveness. Whether you are a commercial 
grower or a home gardener you should give Sparkle a trial. It may 
well be that in Sparkle you will find another winner. We have a fair 
supply of plants. 
| CULVER 
Our limited supply of plants of this beautiful attractive mid- 
season berry is already sold as we go to press. 
ABERDEEN — A Popular Late Berry 
Aberdeen is one of the most widely grown late varieties in New 
York State. The plants are vigorous and free growing, making a 
heavy row. It is more resistant to red stele disease and does better 
on wet heavy soils than most varieties. Aberdeen sets a heavy crop 
of berries. They are medium to large in size, light red but only mod- 
erately firm and below average in quality. Many New York growers 
swear by Aberdeen as a late variety. 
RED STAR — The Latest of All 
Red Star was developed by the U. 8S. D. A. recently and has been 
advertised as the best late variety. The plants are very large but make 
only a moderate number of new plants. Red Star sets such a very 
heavy crop of berries that it needs a plentiful supply of moisture to 
mature them to good size. The berries are very large but with us 
they tend to grow small and somewhat knotty if conditions become 
hot and dry. Red Star is bright red, firm and somewhat rough and 
irregular in shape. Quality is good. We recommend that you give 
Red Star a trial. Supply of plants is very limited. 
GEM EVERBEARING 
We regret that we cannot offer you Gem plants this season as 
our limited supply is already sold before going to press.
