to detract from their appearance when placed in the basket for sale. 
The texture is firm and the quality is good. It has been our experi- 
ence that in very wet seasons when berries tend to rot badly we 
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. 
DORSETT — A Berry of Beauty 
Dorsett is a high quality berry of great beauty. It is a vigorous 
growing variety making a heavy row and because of this it responds 
well to thinning of the plants. The fruit is large and firm ripening 
just after Premier. 
Dorsett is at its best a little farther South and with us its yields 
are a little disappointing. In those localities where Dorsett is best 
adapted it is reported to be a very heavy yielder. Dorsett is not as 
frost resistant or as widely adapted to all kinds of conditions as 
Premier but it excells Premier in size, quality and appearance. 
CULVER — A Berry of Attraction 
Culver is a heavy yielding variety producing beautiful bright 
red berries that are red to the center. The fruit is large, smooth, 
uniformly cone shaped and attractive. Culver truly has the eye 
appeal that makes berries sell. It is one of the most attractive 
berries we have grown. They are slightly tart with excellent flavor 
and quality. The skin of Culver is tender and they should be handled 
carefully. 
Culver is a good plant maker. The plants are vigorous, dark 
green and healthy. 
ROBINSON — A Promising Neweomer 
Robinson has been grown by Michigan growers for the past few 
years and they give enthusiastic reports about its performance. <A 
New York State grower who had tried Robinson for one year gives 
us a similar report. We have not fruited Robihson yet. In our beds 
last year we found it to be a vigorous grower making a prolific 
amount of clean healthy plants. 
The berries are reported to be very large, often ridged, sweet 
with a Cardinal red color. It is an excellent shipper having a firn 
fiesh and a tough skin. 
Robinson is reported: to be the same as Scarlet Beauty which 
also came from Michigan. 
You will want to try this new variety the strawberry world is 
talking about. We have a limited supply of clean thrifty plants. 
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 
outstanding features is its productiveness. Whether you are a com-
