BIG JOE 
A BEAUTIFUL BERRY 
A MONEY-MAKER 
No other mid-season berry has stood the test of 
varied soil and climatic conditions to which the Big 
Joe has been subjected to for the past twenty years 
and come through with the fine record it has for 
general hardiness, productiveness and being a profit- 
able berry to grow. It will withstand as much rough 
treatment as any variety we know of and still come 
through. It is a very large, attractive, dark bright 
red berry that will sell on any market. It can always 
be depended on to make a good set of plants and 
come through with a crop, a combination which 
makes it one of the most popular and profitable ber- 
ries to grow. 
PATHFINDER 
VERY RESISTANT TO ROOT DISEASES 
Originating at N.. J. Experimental Station as the 
result of a cross between Premier and Aberdeen and 
formerly known as N. J. No. 35. Ripens about three 
weeks after Premier. The berries are regular, round- 
ish-conic in shape, medium to large in size, bright 
red in color, brisk, sub-acid flavor with a quality 
rating of good. The plants are very vigorous and 
productive and thrive on heavier springy types of 
soil with plenty of moisture. Will do best from 
central Jersey north. 
RED STAR 
(U. S. D. A. 2124) 
Large, Bright Red Color, Excellent Quality, 
Firmness, Late Ripening—Qualifies the 
-REDSTAR to Challenge All Other Late Varieties 
Redstar is a cross of Chesapeake and Fairfax 
which has been under test since 1933. 
A heavy producer of large showy type berries 
which are sometimes ridged or furrowed. The ber- 
ries are a bright red and do not turn dark, its flesh 
is juicy but firm, the quality is good to excellent, 
size of fruit holds well through fruiting season. 
The plants and leaves are very large, the stalks 
strong, while the flower stems are relatively shert 
thus affording the fruit buds protection from frosts. 
We have long needed a good very late berry and 
REDSTAR so far stands out as the challenger for 
top honors over all other late varieties. 
It ripens after Chesapeake and with or after Gandy 
and Orem.

Vigorous Plant Growth and Heavy Yields Places Temple Among the Leaders 

Bountiful Ridge Grown CATSKILL plants such as these 
will bring results. They have heavy crowns, long roots and 
are free from Cape Cod Nematode which infests so many 
Catskill plants. We caution planters to know where their 
Catskill plants are coming from; a small saving in price of 
plants can prove very costly. “IT WILL PAY YOU TO 
PLANT BOUNTIFUL RIDGE GROWN CATSKILL.” 
STARBRIGHT 
(U. S. D. A. 2120) 
Starbright is a cross of Fairfax and Chesapeake. 
The plants are vigorous and healthy with strong 
crowns. Makes much better fruiting beds than 
Chesapeake. The berries are large, hold well through 
the fruiting season. Berries have bright glossy color, 
lighter color than Fairfax, and very firm and have 
very high quality. Recommended for planting from 
Virginia to southern New England and central west- 
ern area. 
CHESAPEAKE 
QUALITY — BEAUTY — PRODUCTIVE 
It will not stand abuse, seeming to do best in dark, 
loamy soil and heavier soils where there is plenty of 
moisture. It will thrive on well tilled new land. Like 
the Premier it is about frost-proof and bears abund- 
= antly, the plants having large, 
healthy foliage. The berries are 
large and attractive, being su- 
perior in quality. The berry is 
very firm so you can ship it to 
distant markets. 
Robinson 
A comparatively new variety 
being given a lot of favorable 
comments from most Michigan 
plant growers. The berries are 
medium to large size—beautiful 
bright red color and firm. It 
seems to be a free plant maker 
and the foliage is healthy. Ber- 
ries begin ripening about 7 to 
10 days later than Premier. 
From all reports the Robinson 
is a worthy mid-season to late 
berry and especially adapted to 
commercial growing and we 
feel should be given a thorough 
trial under eastern central and 
nerthern growing conditions.
