Catskill is a garden strawberry listed among certified strawberry plants in a 1937 Fruit Growers Service Co. catalog for northern planting. The catalog calls it a new variety “with great merit” and describes it as a promising commercial berry for the North. It does not present Catskill as a fully documented breeding introduction. [S1]
The source gives no parentage, breeder, release date, or place of origin for Catskill. It appears in a strawberry section that discusses United States Department of Agriculture introductions, but the description does not explicitly connect Catskill to that program. [S1]
The fruit is described as very large and carried on long, strong stems. Its quality is said to be as good as Premier, but below Fairfax and Dorsett. The catalog also notes that Catskill keeps a bright color. It ranks the cultivar highly among newer varieties for large size, heavy yield, and color. [S1]
Catskill is described as productive and profitable where it had been grown. The catalog says it was outstanding in yield and as a “profit maker,” and recommends wider planting in the North. [S1]
No direct hardiness zone is given. The strongest supported cold-climate claim is that Catskill was sold and recommended in a catalog devoted to hardy fruits for northern planting, and that the entry says it deserved more planting in the North. [S1]
Catskill also appears in the certified strawberry plant price table, confirming that the nursery offered it for sale in 1937. [S1]
