Description of Varieties 
PREMIER (Early) — This ever-popular berry has stood the test of 38 years. Fruit 
large and holds its size well throughout the ripening season. Foliage smooth, bright 
and clean. A good plant maker. One of the most extensively planted early varieties 
of Strawberries at this time. There are but very few varieties that have equalled 
Premier’s production record. In flavor and quality it ranks with the best. Recom- 
mended for home use, local sales or commercial markets. 
HOWARD 17. — This berry is exactly the same as Premier. 
TEMPLE (Early) — As early as Premier and of excellent quality. Heavy cropper. 
Long picking season. Berries large, glossy, beautiful attractive red. Firm. Wedge to 
conic in shape. Plants grow luxuriantly. Upright. Dark green. Healthy. Red Stele 
resistant. Good plant maker. Temple is one of the newer varieties that has caught 
on and is rapidly becoming a leading commercial berry. 
EMPIRE (Early) — A new introduction of the New York State Experiment Station 
as a real challenger of Premier. Berries average extra large in size, very attractive 
and of excellent quality. Fruit is firm and holds its appearance well, making an 
excellent shipping berry. Very vigorous grower; withstands adverse growing con- 
ditions. 
DORSETT (Early) — Its bright red color and rich, delicious flavor always bring 
top market prices. Ripening early with Premier, this variety rapidly came to the 
top in favor, and is well known and widely planted. 
FAIRFAX (Early) — The quality berry. A favorite in quality and productiveness. 
Originated and introduced with Dorsett, now widely known and planted. The ber- 
ries are exceptionally large all through the fruiting season, and very firm. 
CATSKILL (Midseason) — An outstanding mid-season variety and the recognized 
leader in its season. The reason: It is the largest, most productive, and most pro- 
fitable mid-season variety and a sure cropper. Plants are healthy, vigorous growers 
and make good fruiting beds. The berries are large, and run large to the end of the 
season; are bright red in color with a fine rich flavor; fully as firm or firmer than 
Premier. Catskill is unusually productive, growers often picking 10,000 quarts or 
more per acre, of large, marketable berries. Equally as good also for home gardens 
and local markets. Plant Catskill for more profit from your berry plantings. 
BIG JOE (Midseason) — An old favorite, and until the introduction of Catskill, was 
the best mid-season variety. Many growers still plant it and say it is their best 
variety. Plants are strong growers and will make good fruiting beds. Fruit large to 
very large, with fine flavor; the big bright red berries, with their big green caps 
make an attractive package that brings top prices. Berries are moderately firm, being 
ae as 2 shipper as Catskill and is equally good for fancy local markets or road 
side stands. 
NEW YORK (Midseason) — This is the sweetest strawberry grown. The plant is a 
vigorous grower, producing a moderate number of large, healthy plants. The berries 
are medium to large in size, dark red in color, but only moderately firm in texture. 
New York is a home garden berry. It is the only strawberry we know of that is 
sweet before it gets red. We have many calls for New York from those whose health 
does not permit them to eat berries which are in any way tart or acid in quality. 
CORSICAN — This berry is exactly the same as New York.
