Description ot Ucrieties 
PREMIER (Early) — Introduced more than twenty-five years ago. Every strawberry 
grower has heard of Premier for it is largely planted in almost all sections, and by 
almost all strawberry growers. It is one of the best and most popular varieties ever 
introduced and claimed by many to be without an equal for any purpose. It is a 
great success in almost al! sections and on any soil. The plants are good growers, 
large and heavy-rooted. It ripens with the earliest, is very productive, the fruit is 
large and of delicicus flavor, firm, a good keeper, ships well and sells for good prices. 
Many claim it is the most profitable variety they have ever grown. If you want a 
good early variety that is not easily killed by frost, and one that bears through a 
jong season you will make no mistake in planting Premier. On all soils and under 
all conditions I do not believe any of the newer varieties ofo thee same season are aS 
good as Premier. 
HOWARD 17. — This berry is exactly the same as Premier. 
DORSETT (Early) — Its bright red color and rich, delicious flavor always bring 
top market prices. Ripening early, with Premier, this variety rapidly came to the 
top in favor, and is well known and widely planted in all Strawberry sections of 
the United States. In this latitude it does exceptionally well. 
FAIRFAX (Early) — The quality berry. A favorite in quality and productiveness. 
Originated and introduced with Dorsett, now widely Enown and planted. The ber- 
ries are exceptionally large all through the fruiting season, and very firm. Plant 
Fairfax for its superb flavor, large size and universal demand. 
BIG JOE (Midseasen) — One of the most popular shipping berries on nearly all 
large markets. It is a strong grower, making plenty of plants for a good fruiting bed. 
The berries are large, bright red ang have large, light green caps, which makes 
the berries very attractive and adds to the selling price. The quality is good and the 
berries are quite firm. It is a good shipper and equally good for fancy local market. 
purposes. One of the most productive. 
CATSKILL (Midseason to Late) — A Sure Cropper. The largest, most productive, 
and most profitable inid-season berry. 
Was originated by the New York Exp. Station where it has been grown for 
several years and is highly recommended for its size, yield and attractiveness. 
Catskill is a cross of Marshall and Premier and must take its fruiting abilities after 
Fremier for it is a heavy producer and in tests made has even outyielded that variety 
and seems to be second to none in yield under normal conditions. The berries are 
large in size, bright red in color with a bright green cap that makes an attractive 
appearance and ot excellent quality and flavor. The ¢liant growth is unusually vigor- 
ous with long fiorous roots that penetrate deep into the soil making them drouth 
resistant. The foliage is healthy and vigorous, makes plants freely. 
MEW YORK (Midseason) — This is the sweetest strawberry grown. The plant is a 
vigorous grower, ~roducing a moderate number of large, healthy plants. The berries 
are medium to large in size, dark red in color, but only moderately firm in texture. 
New York is a home garden berry. It is the only strawberry we know of that is 
sweet before it gets red. We have many calls for New York from those whose health 
does not permit theem to eat berries which are in any way tart or acid in quality. 
CORSICAN — This berry is exactly the same as New York. 
RED STAR (Very Late) — A new extremely late variety, originated by Dr. George 
Darrow of the U. S. Department of Agricu!ture. Very large, firm, bright red berries, 
with good flavor. Vigorous grower, very productive. Red Star is recommended for 
all the northern states, and as far south as Virginia and west to Missouri. Red 
Star is really a great addition to the Strawberry variety list, filling a definite 
need for an extra late variety of very high quality.
