EARLY VARIETIES 
“ PATHFINDER — This is a large round berry which is very attractive 
and will stand up comparatively well after picking. This variety sets a wide 
row of plants as a rule and is very resistant to the red stele disease. With 
us it ripens just after the Howards. 
We can recommend this variety not only to home gardeners but also 
to commercial growers who are interested in a quality berry. 
“ FAIRLAND — This variety is very similar in many respects to the 
Howard 17. It is only a few days later and the berry has the same pointed 
shape. It makes a good bed of plants and the yield of berries is excellent. 
“~ DORSETT — The Dorsett is an excellent variety for home use and 
bears large, very sweet berries. With us, it is not a dependable producer. 
Our supply is limited. 
+ MIDLAND — This variety is a cross between the Howard 17 and Red 
Heart varieties. It produces a large red berry which is rated as excellent 
for the deep freeze. With us it is not as good a plantmaker as Pathfinder 
and Howard and is a few days later than Howard. 
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. 
ROBINSON (Scarlet Beauty) — This variety is rapidly increasing in 
popularity throughout Connecticut. It produces a great number of plants, 
which average smaller in size than plants of other varieties. The berries are 
very large, round and very attractive. The yields of this variety are excellent. 
This variety has brought premium prices at Connecticut Strawberry Auctions 
on many different occasions. We can recommend this strawberry both for 
commercial and for home use. 
~ SPARKLE — This variety produces a dark red berry which does not 
average quite as large in size as other leading types. The berry holds the 
red color to the center of the berry and this variety is probably the best of 
all for freezing. It makes a good row of plants or about the same as the 
Howard 17 with us. 
. GREAT BAY — This is a new variety which was originated at the 
University of New Hampshire. Under proper conditions, it has been reported 
to have yielded tremendous crops. With us, it has not yet lived up to its 
claims. Our supply is limited. Price — $4.00 per 100.
