DORSETT 1U* /Zevuf gi*p*e»te, 



One Of The Best Of The Recently Introduced Berries. Proving The Ideal 



Commercial Berry, Combining Vigorousness, 



Productiveness And Quality 



Released for introduction by the U. S. Department of Agriculture spring 1933. The Dorsett surely makes a 

 worthy companion for the Fairfax as each of them seem to have their advantages. The foliage of Dorsett re- 

 sembles that of Blakemore to some extent, apparently not being as vigorous as Fairfax but equally as resistant 

 to diseases. The foliage and fruiting stems are more erect than Premier and it is a free plant maker. The fruit 

 is usually conic in shape. The color is bright red similar to Blakemore. The berries will average much larger 

 than Blakemore although not quite so large as Fairfax. The flavor of Dorsett is not equal to Fairfax but super- 

 ior to other Early berries and can be classed among the best. The Dorsett is not as firm as the Fairfax but is 

 equal to Blakemore and more firm than Premier so should be a good commercial variety because of its productive- 

 ness, attractive color, and excellent quality for an early berry. 



FAIRFAX Anidoctorfic Ru*U 0/ tU JboMett 



They Are Truly Magnificent, Are Examples Of Productiveness 

 And Wonderful Quality 



Released for introduction by the U. S. Department of Agriculture spring 1933 we predicted the Fairfax to be a 

 great success and it has fulfilled our prediction. It has proved all that has been claimed for it and no grower of 

 strawberries can afford to be without them. The foliage and fruit stems extend well above the ground which 

 tends to give clean fruit and make the fruit more uniformly. The Fairfax ripens about the same time as Premier, 

 and its fruiting season extends over a long period. The quality of the Fairfax is equal to the best of our older 

 varieties. The berries are large to very large, of a bright red color at picking time. Like the Bellmar it turns 



dark after being picked for several days but retains its flavor 

 and firmness. The Fairfax should be planted for both home and 

 commercial use. 



PATHFINDER 



Originating at N. J. Experimental station 

 as the result of a cross between Premier 

 and Aberdeen and formerly known as N. J. No. 35. Ripens 

 about 3 days after Premier. The berries are regular, roundish 

 conic in shape, medium to large in size, bright red in color, brisk 

 sub-acid flavor with a quality rating of good. The plants are 

 very vigorous and productive and thrive on heavier springy 

 types of soil with plenty of moisture. Should be tried out in all 

 berry growing sections but' indications are that it will do best 

 from central Jersey north or anywhere Premier can be grown 

 successfully. Our supply of plants is limited. 



NANCY LEE 



A seedling of our own with unknown 

 parentage. It has many of the charac- 

 teristics of the Premier and Aroma. We have tested it thorough- 

 ly here in the Nursery and its main points of merit are its 

 unusual thriftiness and resistnce to all diseases; its ability to 

 crop under most trying conditions; its resistance to frost injury; 

 its productiveness, and its superior quality to all other Early 

 berries we have tested. It starts ripening a week before Premier 

 and continues to give an abundance of Berries for nearly a month. 

 The berries average large to very large, most of them having a 

 double cap. It is shaped like the Premier and produces its 

 berries near the ground like Premier. 



PREMIER 



Living examples of vigor. Healthy foliage, 

 clean fibrous roots; all fresh dug. They 

 must give you results if properly planted and 

 cared for. 



The leading berry of the south for several 

 years. Popular because of its ability to 

 make plants on light sandy soil as on loamy soils; its thriftiness 

 and productiveness of medium to large berries, which are dark 

 red and very firm, so as to carrv to distant markets and because 

 it is a favorite of the "cold pack" and "juice" men. It will poss- 

 ibly be replaced entirely by the Blakemore in a few years.

"PLANTS ARE COVERED TO PREVENT WINTER INJURY TO CROWNS" 



Investigations over a period of years have proven that many strawberry plants are injured in the crown 

 by sudden low temperatures in early winter and by extreme low temperatures during the winter. This in- 

 jury is not severe enough to kill the plants but reflects directly in the growth and productiveness of the 

 plants the following summer. Plants GROWN IN THIS IMMEDIATE SECTION HAVE SELDOM SHOWN 

 SERIOUS INJURY OF THIS KIND, due to our mild winters and IS AN IMPORTANT REASON WHY 

 YOU CAN SECURE THE BEST PLANTS AVAILABLE HERE AT PRINCESS ANNE. AS AN EXTRA PRE- 

 CAUTION FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR CUSTOMERS HOWEVER, WE ARE COVERING EACH YEAR 

 SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND PLANTS OF THE LEADING VARIETIES AS AN ADDED GUARAN- 

 TEE OUR CUSTOMERS WILL GET ABSOLUTELY UNINJURED, THRIFTY PLANTS FOR THEIR 

 PLANTINGS WHEN REQUESTED. PLANTS DUG AND DISTRIBUTED FROM OUR COVERED PLANT 

 FIELDS HAVE GIVEN UNUSUAL RESULTS. WE ARE COMPELLED TO CHARGE A LITTLE EXTRA 

 FOR THESE PLANTS, THIS ADDED COST HOWEVER IS VERY SMALL AND WE ASK THAT YOU 

 SUBMIT YOUR LIST OF VARIETIES AND QUANTITIES FOR SPECIAL QUOTATIONS ON THIS TYPE 

 STOCK. THE BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NURSERIES WILL ALWAYS LEAD IN PRODUCTION METHODS 

 THAT WILL INSURE GREATER SUCCESS TO THOSE WHO PLANT THEIR STOCK.
