ABERDEEN ^^ ^^ North where grown on heavy soils and close to market, the large size, heavy yielding and light attractive appearance of the berries have made Aberdeen a big profit maker for some growers. Aberdeen is no good at all as far south as Maryland—much too soft. How- ever, it is very resistant to the red-stele disease. Aber- deen is being used to breed red-stele resistant varieties for areas in which strawberry soils have become in- fested. We have some nice plants of Aberdeen for those who know and want this variety. Price list, page 31, PATHFINDER * seedUn, of Aberdeen, ongmated by Professor Clark and introduced several years ago by the New Jersey Station. It is a very rugged grower, usually making plenty of plants and large strong ones. Among the most productive of all varieties. Should be grown from central New Jersey north as a second early or early midseason variety. On heavy northern soils where it is adapted. Pathfinder berries run medium to large in size, unusually uniform in shape, firm enough for local or nearby market, of good quality and attrac- tive appearance. Pathfinder is not good in the South or lower Middle States, but in the North it is a volume producer of satisfactory berries that good growers turn into handsome profits. Price list, page 31.
