The berries are large to very large, bright red and produced in 
abundance. They have a characteristically long neck and are often 
rather rough and irregular in shape. However, this does not seem 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 experience 
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 Pre- 
mier 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, uni- 
formly 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 sligthly 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 — The Best Late Variety 
Robinson came to us highly recommended from Michigan where 
it originated. Under our conditions we can readily see why the Mich- 
igan growers are so enthusiastic over it as a commercial variety. 
Robinson is a prolific plant maker and a tremendous yielder. We 
have never seen any variety set more berries and carry them to ma- 
turity. The berries are a beautiful light red, conic in shape and often 
distinctively ribbed. They are very large in size and hold up well 
during the season. 
As compared with the old standard varieties, Robinson will equal 
or outyield Premier or Catskill, is as large or larger in size than Cat- 
skill, is not as high quality as Fairfax or Catskill, being only average 
in this respect, and will set more plants than Premier. 
ROHeen is without doubt the best late berry for commercial use 
we have seen in this area. We urge all commercial growers to try it.
