MIDLAND—tThis is a new early variety resulting in a cross be- 
tween Howard and Redheart. It is a vigorous grower making plenty of 
large strong plants. The berries are large, rich red and juicy. It is a 
good shipper and very good for freezing. This variety is highly recom- 
mended by Dr. Jones of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Sta- 
tion. 
DORSETT—This variety has a bright red color and a rich deli- 
cious flavor. It ripens just a few days after Howard. The Dorsett is not 
quite as dependable as some other varieties because it sets all its blos- 
soms at one time and thus is susceptible to serious damage from late 
frosts. It always makes a good bed of plants and at its best is very 
hard to beat. 
MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
TEMPLE—This is an exceptionally vigorous variety which makes 
a dense bed of unusually tall plants. The berries are large, pointed 
and are very attractive. It is a comparatively new variety but we be- 
lieve that it is the outstanding midseason variety at the present time. 
At strawberry trials held in New Haven county last year, it was out- 
standing in quality, size and yield. Supplies of this variety will not 
be sufficient to fill the demand this year. We advise your early order. 
CATSKILL—tThis has been an outstanding midseason variety for 
a number of years. It produces a very large and glossy berry. The 
bulk of the crop is produced in a short time making it a good berry 
for freezing purposes. This is not as good a plantmaker as some oth- 
er varieties, apparently needing a very rich soil to be at its best. ; 
FAIRFAX—tThis berry has the well deserved reputation of being 
the sweetest berry grown. It produces a good crop of very dark, al- 
most black berries. The Fairfax is a poor plantmaker and we recom- 
mend it only for those gardeners who have a good rich soil. 
SPARKLE—This is a newer and very highly recommended mid- 
season variety. It is a vigorous grower and is very productive. The 
berries are somewhat round in shape, of excellent quality and splendid 
for freezing. 
FAIRLAND—tThis is another new variety which we will have for 
the first time during this coming spring. ‘With us it made an excellent 
plant growth with large numbers of tall plants. It ripens about a 
week after Howard, producing large amounts of medium to large 
bright red, very firm berries. 
LATE VARIETIES 
ROBINSON—We have been very well pleased with the Robinson 
variety for the last three years on our farm. With us it makes a very 
wide row of plants and produces as large a berry as any variety which 
we have ever seen. The berry has a nice green hull and has a glossy 
appearance. With us the Robinson is late enough so that we are listing 
it with our late varieties this year, even though it is slightly earlier 
than Red Star.
