Menu yeate CalUiiU U&i Catskill has been the most popular, most productive and most profitable midseason berry in all the Premier territory. (See page 8.) In fact many growers have found Premier for early and Catskill for midseason-to- late an unbeatable team for making money from commercial crops of strawberries. Where good beds of both varieties have been grown Catskill may be slightly more productive than Prem- ier and this great productiveness has been a main reason for its continued popularity. Even as far south as Maryland we believe our record several years ago of 32,000 quarts of marketable berries on three acres is absolute tops for any field of its size of any variety in this section. Yields up to 15,000 quarts per acre have been reported in New York and some of the New England Big Berries. Catskill will produce not only a greater total yield but a larger quantity of big berries than any other leading variety. Of course there are some medium sized ber- ries, but they are "in addition'' and not "in place of" a big yield of big berries. The new Midland rivals Catskill in size of berries. Good Berries. Catskill berries have very good quality. They are somewhat better than Premier and when fully ripe have much of the delicious flavor of the old Marshall. They're really good to eat. Catskill berries have been rated very satisfactory when frozen. Catskill berries, by the way, contain a very high per- centage of Vitamin C, having one of the highest contents of this important Vitamin of any variety yet tested. Pretty Berries. Catskill fruit has a fresh green cap and an attractive light red color which makes them very showy in the package. The very large primary berries are somewhat ridged but the late ones are smooth and uniform. CATS GaUkliL Clinton Iow
