Big Joe For a long time one of the best midseason kinds. Losing 
favor with growers we ceased to offer it. There now seems 
to be a newly developed demand for it, so we are again growing it. 
Catskil This has been one of the great berries, but it seems to have 
recently lost its vigor to grow and ability to bear, in compari- 
son with other years. We have a limited stock of plants and where it still does 
well will, of course, advise that it be planted. 
Fairlan This is another U. S. D. A. production. It is being recom- 
mended as red stele resistant. It grows well and the berries 
are very handsome in appearance and of good eating quality. They should 
command a ready market if not kept too long. Fairland is not as productive 
as Temple and shows some frost damage, if there are late frosts. We advise 
only a trial bed. 

We received the strawberry plants in very good shape and we have them 
set. They are looking fine. We thank you for the prompt service.

I want to thank you for the beautiful strawberry plants. I received them 
yesterday and set at once. They are the nicest plants I have ever seen

I received the strawberry plants and they were in good condition. I am 
thirteen years old and hope to have the best strawberries in our club.
