STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
EARLY VARIETIES 
HOWARD No. 17 (Sold also as Premier)—-For more than twenty years 
the Howard No. 17 strawberry has held the leadership in this area with 
the greatest acreage of plants being set with this variety. The Howard No. 17 
berry is perhaps the most dependable producer of all varieties, producing 
a good crop on nearly every type of soil and under many different weather 
conditions. 
Our strain of Howard 17 has improved through the years as we have 
constantly practiced selective planting. The Howard is practically frost- 
proof. It likes rich well drained land and will produce an excellent crop 
of large wedge-shaped berries. It is usually the first berry on the market 
and will fruit over a long season with the berries decreasing in size at the 
end of the season. 
This is a safe variety to plant. Be sure to include some in your order. We 
find it excellent for freezing and we can recommend this variety for a home 
garden as well as for commercial growers. 
PATHFINDER — This is an excellent quality berry producing large 
quantities of mild flavored berries. The berries are quite round and are 
very attractive. This variety usually sets a wide row of plants and is rated 
as very resistant to the red stele disease. This is an early season berry, ripen- 
ing with us just after the Howard. 
We can recommend this variety to commercial growers, especially to 
those whose early berries are sold to be shipped out of the state. 
MIDLAND — This variety is a cross between the Howard 17 and Red 
Heart. It is a vigorous grower of fine large plants, producing good yields 
of large berries. It has fine flavor and is excellent for the deep freeze. 
FAIRLAND — This is a new variety which we like very much. With 
us, it produces a large, conical shaped berry, almost as early as Howard. 
It makes a very good bed and the yield of berries is excellent. 
“ DORSETT —- At its best Dorsett is an excellent berry for home use 
with large sweet berries. Not a dependable producer. Supply limited. 
MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
TEMPLE — We believe that this is.the outstanding midseason berry 
at the present time. It is an unusually vigorous variety, making wide rows. 
of tall heavy plants. It is a heavy producer of large, pointed, very attractive 
berries. We have a large supply of these plants available for this spring. 
Good for freezing. 
CATSKILL — This 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 other varieties, appar- 
ently needing a very rich soil to be at its best.
