PREMIER EXTRA EARLY 
We have always believed Howard 17 and 
Premier to be of the same variety. However, some 
of our customers have purchased the plants under 
the name of Premier. We purchased our Premier 
plants from a leading Michigan grower, and any of 
our customers may have the true Premier by order- 
ing them under that name.

CATSKILL (Per.) Midseason 
The Catskill is a midseason berry; ripens about 
a week after the Howard 17. A cross of the Mar- 
Shall and the Howard 17, the plants are large, 
vigorous and yield real 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 ‘he 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 
an early berry and Catskill for a midseason to 
late berry. 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. The Catskill is getting to be bet- 
ter known now. Every year we increase our plant-
