Catskill 
Catskill quickly attained a wide popularity as a commer- 
cial berry after its introduction a few years ago as a cross 
between Premier and Marshall. 
The foliage of this variety is vigorous and healthy. The 
plants are large, strong and rugged. They run freely and 
easily make a good row. The flower stalks are heavy and 
stand high, blossoms are quite large. 
Primary berries are liable to be rather deeply furrowed 
and have a generally rough appearance. Later ones are 
smooth and round. They are quite large, bright red at first 
shading darker with full ripening and after picking. They 
are firm and solid, too, as good as Premier in this respect. 
All right for ordinary handling and hauling. 
Catskill is a good main crop, commercial berry. The total 
yield is usually high, especially in case of rains in proper 
season. Ripening about a week later than Premier, Catskill 
becomes a choice kind for supplementing Premier and ex- 
tending the fruiting season. 
Senator Dunlap 
The best variety of strawberry we found 
when we started to work with this fruit forty 
years ago was the Senator Dunlap, and it is 
just as good today as it was then. 
It is the grand old variety too well known to every straw- 
berry grower to need any lengthy description. 
Long a popular favorite, it is a hardy grower and prolific 
plant maker, a sort cf rough and ready variety able to stand 
a lot of abuse and come through with some sort of crop. Giv- 
s Hoge See plants are liable to become too thick in the row 
o do well. 
The fruit is medium sized, dark, likely to be bottle-necked 
in shape, rich in flavor, very good for the garden. It is a 
prime favorite with those who have used it for many years. 
Mid-season in ripening, maybe three or four days later than 
Premier. 
Plants of Dunlap are rather small and the fruit is likely 
to deteriorate in size in late season, especially if weather 
conditions get a little unfavorable. Somewhat susceptible to 
leaf spot.
