CATSKILL Our Safes'leader Again last year Catskill remained the "King of all Strawberry Varieties" judging by our demand for plants. Before virus free stocks of Catskill became available in 1954 Catskill was on the way out, but with the return of the original vigor of Catskill it has come to the top and remained there. Yields of ten to fourteen thousand quarts of Catskill per acre are not uncommon. Catskill remains our best seller for these reasons: 1. Adaptation. Catskill is well adapted to all the northern states and the higher altitudes as far south as North Carolina and westward beyond the Mississippi River. 2. Productiveness. Catskill has more nice large size fruit and gives a greater total quantity of berries than any other equally productive variety. 3. Use. Catskill berries are fine for the fresh market and quite acceptable for freez- ing. They cap easily, which is quite important where capping machines are in use. 4. Hardness. Catskill has an amazing record of producing successive crops of fine fruit. It has been a sure thing over a long period and we consider it one "must" berry for growers in the upper middle and northern states. 5. Berries. Catskill berries are of large size, moderate firmness if handled correctly, good quality and very attractive appearance. 6. Extras. Catskill carries a higher than average percentage of vitamin C of which strawberries are one of the best sources. In addition, Catskill berries will stand wet weather at picking time better than other varieties which are actually firmer. 12.
