Look at the record and you'll see T^liy, For eight straight years Catskill has not failed to produce a bumper crop—big, beautiful berries and lots of them! ! ! Except for Blakemore in the South and Premier in the Northern and Middle states, no variety ever took hold so quickly and ivon public approval so fast as Catskill. From the frosty liillsides of Vermont and other states in the yorth to the fertile fields and gardens of Tirginia, Tennessee and Missouri in the South, CatskilFs title as the best Midseason berry is generally recognized.
