THE GREATEST OF ALL RECENTLY INTRODUCED BERRIES, FAIRFAX AND CATSKILL BE- 

 ING ITS ONLY RIVALS. THE IDEAL COMMERCIAL BERRY COMBINING VIGOROUS- 

 NESS, PRODUCTIVENESS AND QUALITY 



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

 worthy com])anion 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 PJlakemore 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. In production test made season of 1932 it outyielded 

 the Fairfax considerably and naturally had a wide margin on all other varieties. Premier being its nearest rival. 

 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 productiveness, attractive color, and excellent quality for an eary berry.

 PRODUCTIVENESS AND WONDERFUL QUALITY. 



THEY 



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 atford to be without them. The foliage of the Fairfax seems very vigorous, even more so than the 

 Premier, our old standard of comparison. The foliage and fruit stems extend well above the ground which tends 

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

 and its fruiting season extends over a long period. In production tests for season of 1932 the Fairfax did not yield 

 quite as heavy as Dorsett but held a big lead over Premier, its nearest rival, and twice as many as many of our 

 old standard varieties. 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. Likt 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. 



NANCY LEE 



A seedling of our OAvn with unknown parentage. It has many of the characteristics of the 

 Premier and Aroma. We have tested it thoroughly here in the Nursery and its main points 

 of merit are its unusual thriftiness and resistance 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. 

 Its 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.
