8 GEORGE RENNIE FARM, ANDOVER, MASS. 
CATSKILL (Per.) Midseason 
The Catskill is a midseason berry; ripens about 
a week after the Howard 17. A cross of the Mar- 
shall and Howard 17, the plants are large, very 
vigorous and yield very heavy crops. The berries 
are very large, firm, bright red in color, glossy and 
attractive, and good quality. The bright shiny red 
berries make an attractive package in the basket 
or in the crate. The berries are so large they should 
be sold in trays, rather than in crates. On rich land 
the Catskill makes too many plants and should not 
be allowed to set too many as we find the largest 
and finest berries are always where plants are fairly 
wide apart. The Catskill keeps good size to the last 
picking and to be at its best should have fairly 
heavy and rich land. Anyone growing for market 
cannot go wrong in planting Howard 17 for early 
and Catskill for midseason to late. The berries are 
produced on strong stems that keep the berries up off 
the ground. They dry off after heavy rain and you 
get very few rotten berries. Not quite as heavy a 
cropper as the Howard 17. The Catskill is getting 
to be better known now. Every year we increase our 
planting of Catskill. Plant the Howard 17 on the 
light to medium land and the Catskill on the heavy 
land,
