Berry PLANTs—RHUBARB 9 


CATSKILL STRAWBERRY 
A very large, bright glossy red berry, firm and good shipper. Consistently good 
yields and large size have earned it a wide reputation in the East as a midseason 
money maker. As frost resistant as Premier, it has always made a crop, and it 
thrives on practically all soils. 
SIERRA STRAWBERRY 
Considered the best of the new U. of C. varieties for the foothill region. The 
variety is late and at times produces most of the spring crop late enough to escape 
the rains that often spoil the early crop. It is a very good plant maker and has fair 
longevity compared with other varieties. Color, medium red usually, with good gloss, 
which gives a good appearance; this holds well after picking. Berries large to 
medium, and the dessert quality is good, with slight aroma. 

SUNRISE RED RASPBERRY 
This is an exceptionally early berry, large in size, very hardy and very resistant 
to disease. Said to be two or three weeks earlier than Cuthbert, but the season ends 
about with Cuthbert. In color, flavor and dessert quality they are said to be so much 
alike that it would be hard to tell them apart. A Santa Monica grower said they pro- 
duced up to Christmas.
