  No 
  strawberry 
  ever 
  introduced 
  has 
  brought 
  the 
  re- 
  

   turns 
  to 
  the 
  grower 
  that 
  the 
  Premier 
  has, 
  and 
  it 
  still 
  

   stands 
  unchallenged 
  as 
  a 
  real 
  money-maker. 
  It 
  has 
  a 
  

   record 
  very 
  hard 
  to 
  equal 
  as 
  an 
  early 
  market 
  berry, 
  and 
  

   we 
  cannot 
  say 
  too 
  many 
  good 
  things 
  about 
  it. 
  Consid- 
  

   er 
  these 
  important 
  facts 
  about 
  Premier 
  and 
  you 
  can 
  

   readily 
  understand 
  why 
  we 
  say 
  this 
  about 
  it. 
  Until 
  the 
  

   introduction 
  of 
  the 
  Blakemore 
  it 
  had 
  no 
  equal 
  as 
  a 
  va- 
  

   riety 
  that 
  would 
  adapt 
  itself 
  to 
  most 
  all 
  soil 
  and 
  cli- 
  

   matic 
  conditions, 
  whether 
  the 
  soil 
  was 
  sandy, 
  clay 
  

   loam 
  or 
  rocky, 
  whether 
  it 
  was 
  planted 
  in 
  North 
  Car- 
  

   olina, 
  Mass., 
  or 
  111., 
  you 
  always 
  had 
  an 
  abundance 
  of 
  

   new 
  plants 
  that 
  were 
  thrifty 
  and 
  disease 
  free. 
  The 
  land 
  

   did 
  not 
  have 
  to 
  be 
  rich. 
  Of 
  course, 
  it 
  will 
  do 
  better 
  on 
  

   good 
  soils, 
  but 
  even 
  on 
  comparatively 
  poor 
  soil 
  Prem- 
  

   ier 
  always 
  makes 
  a 
  showing 
  for 
  you. 
  It 
  can 
  be 
  con- 
  

   sidered 
  almost 
  frost-proof. 
  It 
  has 
  never 
  failed 
  in 
  a 
  crop 
  

   in 
  this 
  section 
  since 
  it 
  was 
  introduced. 
  The 
  berries 
  av- 
  

   erage 
  large 
  and 
  hold 
  up 
  well 
  under 
  heavy 
  crops 
  and 
  

   unfavorable 
  seasonable 
  conditions; 
  it 
  ripens 
  over 
  a 
  com- 
  

   paratively 
  long 
  period, 
  from 
  two 
  to 
  three 
  weeks 
  : 
  the 
  

   berries 
  have 
  an 
  attractive 
  bright 
  red 
  color 
  and 
  unusual 
  

   quality 
  that 
  is 
  only 
  surpassed 
  by 
  Chesapeake 
  and 
  possi- 
  

   bly 
  Red 
  Gold. 
  It 
  is 
  moderately 
  firm 
  and 
  will 
  carry 
  

   well 
  to 
  markets 
  up 
  to 
  three 
  hundred 
  miles 
  and 
  further 
  

   if 
  handled 
  properly. 
  It 
  is 
  the 
  best 
  of 
  the 
  tried 
  and 
  

   proven 
  early 
  varieties. 
  As 
  an 
  assurance 
  of 
  next 
  year's 
  

   income,

  DORSETT 
  

  

  THE 
  BERRY 
  SUPREME 
  

  

  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 
  of 
  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 
  resist- 
  

   ant 
  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 
  Fair- 
  

   fax 
  but 
  superior 
  to 
  other 
  Early 
  berries 
  and 
  can 
  be 
  

   classed 
  among 
  the 
  best. 
  The 
  Dorsett 
  is 
  not 
  as 
  firm 
  as 
  

   the 
  Fairfax 
  but 
  is 
  equal 
  to 
  Premier 
  so 
  should 
  be 
  a 
  good 
  

   commercial 
  variety 
  because 
  of 
  its 
  productiveness, 
  at- 
  

   tractive 
  color, 
  and 
  excellent 
  quality 
  for 
  an 
  early 
  berry.

  ARISTOCRATIC 
  RIVAL

  DORSETT 
  

   They 
  Are 
  Truly 
  Magnificent

  Examples 
  of 
  Pro- 
  

   ductiveness 
  and 
  Wonderful 
  Quality 
  

  

  Released 
  for 
  introduction 
  by 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  Department 
  of 
  

   Agriculture 
  spring 
  of 
  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 
  uniform. 
  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 
  commerc- 
  

   ial 
  use.
