EARLY VARIETIES 
SHELTON (Perfect)—Shelton starts to bear among the 
last of the early varieties. It forms a nice lot of plants and 
the berries are long, conical shaped and not too large in size. 
With us it has been very dependable and has not missed 
a crop with us. Supply limited. 
DRESDEN (Perfect)—With us the Dresden variety pro- 
duces a nice lot of good sized, round berries. The plants are. 
numerous enough to make a fine fruiting bed. It ripens be- 
tween the early and mid-season varieties. Dresden needs a 
good rich land to develop all the berries it sets. Supply limited. 
BRISTOL (Perfect)—An introduction of the Connecticut 
Experiment Station which produces a nice berry somewhat later 
than Howard. Plant growth is medium to good. Supply limited. 
BRANFORD (Perfect)—An unusually light berry which 
makes good plant growth with us. It bears exceptionally well 
in certain local sections of the state. Supply limited. 
MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
ABERDEEN (Perfect)—This is a mid-season berry which 
is very vigorous and always makes a good number of plants 
to fruit. It is rated as the most resistant to Red Stele of any 
variety of strawberries. The berries are fairly lhght in color 
and will not stand shipping long distances as they bruise 
easily. Will do best on moist, rich land. Recommended for 
home gardeners only. 
CATSKILL (Perfect)—The Catskill is one of the largest 
yielders of berries. It ripens in mid-season and bears most of 
its berries within a short time. Catskill berries are very large, 
and have a glossy shine to them which makes them very at- 
tractive. The berry is excellent for canning and freezing. It 
forms a good set of plants but not as many as some other 
varieties. Catskills are at their best on rather wet land. 
FAIRFAX (Perfect)—The Fairfax is rated as the sweetest 
of all strawberries. Also, it is probably the darkest of all 
berries when ripe. On rich land, it forms a fair amount of 
plants and will yield very well. Under adverse conditions, it 
may not do as well. Recommended for experienced. gardeners 
who want a top quality berry. 
TEMPLE (Perfect)—We offer Temple for the first time 
this year. It is a cross from Aberdeen and Fairfax and has 
inherited a resistance to Red Stele from Aberdeen. It is rated 
as being a fine quality berry, lighter in color than Fairfax and 
of good size. On our farm last summer, the plants made a 
wonderful growth. Supply limited. 
ROBINSON (Perfect)—On our trial bed last summer, 
Robinson showed up as the largest berry of any variety. With 
very large, attractive berries, and with lots of plants, Robinson 
looks like a coming berry. Mid-season to late. Supply limited.
