MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
CATSKILL (Perfect)—This is a very large, glossy mid- 
season berry which makes a very fancy appearance. It usually 
bears its fruit in a comparatively short season. 
We find that it is a poor plantmaker unless it is ‘grown 
on soil which is suited for it. 
Prices: Same as Howard 17. 
Recommended for very rich soils. 
FAIRFAX (Perfect)—The Fairfax variety is very large 
and dark red in color and has a very delicious flavor. 
With us it does not make as good a row of plants as our 
other varieties nor does it yield the quantity of berries that 
the Howard does. However, with plenty of water or on fairly 
damp soils it will produce more plants. 
The fruiting season begins about a week after Howard. 
Prices: Same as Howard No. 17. 
Recommended for Home Gardeners with Heavy Soil. - 
ABERDEEN (Perfect—This variety seems to be a fine 
running mate for Howard No. 17. It is somewhat later than 
the early berries and produces a large very bright berry until 
late in the season. It is a prolific plant-maker with clean, 
healthy foliage standing well off the ground. We have tried it 
on different soils and wherever planted seems to be at home. 
I have seen this variety planted on fairly heavy soil. It 
was bearing very large, bright berries well after most berries 
were gone. It seems to give quality berries after Howard No. 
17 and Dorsett have gone by. 
Prices: Same as Howard No. 17. 
Recommended for Home Gardeners. 
SUCCESS (Perfect) — An old variety which a few locat 
zrowers brought in from New Jersey years ago and found that 
it did very well on poor gravelly land. It has a very large 
roundish, bright red berry. Try some of these on the poorest 
part of your strawberry patch. 
Prices:—Same as Howard No. 17. 
STRAWBERRY BOXES 
We have ordered for this spring 50,000 quart strawberry 
boxes. These are the best quality boxes, the same as we use 
ourselves. They are packed in cartons of 500 boxes. 
Boxes may still be scarce this spring. It may be wise to 
order your supply early as we are not sure that we can obtain 
more if sold out. 
Prices: 100 for $2.00, postpaid; 1,000 for $11.00, not prepaid. 
Pint Raspberry Boxes—Same price as quarts. 
My plants came in Tuesday’s mail in good shape and I 
am well pleased. LOUIS POWELL,
