Mated jjosi Siye, and Ptaduetii Very quickly after its introduction in 1932 Catskill spread through all the Pre- mier territory (see page 8) becoming the most popular and widely planted midsea- son berry. Catskill has many fine qualities, but the productiveness of the plants and the size of the berries are the outstanding traits which have made Catskill so popular. It is difficult to say just which is the most productive of all strawberries, but certainly Catskill would have to be included in any list of the great producers, along with Premier, Midland, Sparkle and others. We have grown more quarts per acre (10,700) here in Maryland with Catskill than with any other variety, early, midseason or late. For years most if not all of the yield records were made with either Catskill or Premier. Some of the newer ones like Temple, Sparkle, Fairland, Tennessee Beauty and Midland, are now producing yields under satisfactory conditions which rival Catskill and Premier. Large Berries. Catskill not only pro- duces as many quarts per acre as other big producers but the average size of the berries is larger than any of the other heavy producers except Midland. The fine lot of medium size berries which Catskill bears are in addition to the big yield of big berries. High Quality. Catskill berries are very good in quality. They are somewhat better than Premier and when fully ripe have much of the delicious flavor of the old Marshall. They are really good. Catskill berries have been rated very satisfactory when frozen, in fact in one recent test they were rated next to Blakemore by a panel from the National Preservers Association and second out of a list of ten varieties by a panel from the Frozen Food Foundation. It is only fair to state that this list of varieties did not include either Sparkle or Tennes- see Beau
