EARLY VARIETIES 
PATHFINDER (Perfect)—This is the only one of our 
varieties (except Howard) which we will recommend for a main 
planting. It is very early, starting to fruit at about the same 
time as Howard, and produces very high yields of berries. It 
has a round berry, bright red and sweet. With us it has been 
a dependable producer, yielding well under different growing 
conditions. We believe commercial growers can make money 
with this variety. 
If you are one of the very few growers who are not satis- 
fied with our Howard 17, we recommend this variety. 
Prices:—Same as Howard 17. 
Recommended for Home and Commercial Gardens. 
DRESDEN (Perfect)—This is a variety which was origi- 
nated in New York state and which has given some wonderful 
yields in some instances. It makes a nice lot of plants. With 
us, the Dresden berries are medium in size, fairly light, 
moderately firm and of good but not high quality. 
It is worthy of a trial plot to see if it has merit under 
your soil conditions. 
Prices—Same as Howard No. 17. 
SHELTON (Perfect) — This is one of the new and out- 
standing berries. It is a product of our Connecticut Experiment 
Station. 
It is a very good producer. We received a yield last year 
which compared well with the Howard 17. It is a bright red, 
long, pointed berry. It will hold its bright color and attractive- 
ness longer than most other berries. 
The season is approximately the same as Howard 17, start- 
ing to produce very early and producing throughout most of the 
berry season. 
It is a very nice plantmaker. We have a nice supply of 
Shelton plants this year. We advise everyone to try this new 
and outstanding Connecticut product. 
Prices: Same as Howard No. 17. 
Recommended for All Grewers. 
BRANFORD (Perfect)—This is another of the new varie- 
ties originated at the Experiment Station at Mount Carmel. It 
has produced some tremendous yields for some growers in the 
Branford section of the State. It is unusually light in color, 
fine for jams and preserves. 
Prices: 26 for 75c; 50 for $1.25; 100 for $2.00. 
Hilltop Orchards. 
We were very much pleased with the Pathfinder straw- 
berry plants we obtained from you last year. Can we get 
more of the same this year?
