Scud^ 



STRAWBERRY 



Although the Dorsett was introduced only 

 a few years ago — after its development 

 from a cross of Roval Sovereign X Premier 

 (Howard 17) by the U. S. Dept. of Agri- 

 culture — it has been widely planted in 

 practically every berry growing section of 

 the country.

Its ready adaptability to almost any type of soil and 

 climatic conditions; its quick, easy growth; its heavy 

 yielding qualities make Dorsett a popular favorite 

 everywhere. Dorsett strawberries are firm and at-i 

 tractive; and carry well even on long distance hauls. 

 Therefore, we sincerely urge you to try Dorsett. 

 You'll find it one of the best money-making early 

 berries it is possible to grow. Each year finds a 

 greater demand for Dorsett, and each year we grow 

 one of the largest plantings in the country. Regard- 

 less of how large or small your order may be — send 

 it in. We'll be glad to service it! We can reserve plants 

 and ship when you are ready to set. (NOTE: The 

 above photo shows a thirty-eight acre block of new- 

 ground grown Dorsett, growing on our farms; where 

 millions of Townsends' Select Strain Dorsett are 

 grown annually; and shipped into every state of the 

 Union.) 



As a heavy yielding high quality berry Dorsett is giving 

 excellent results in most all berry growing sections except 

 the far south. Townsend's Select Strain Dorsett are Dou- 

 ble Inspected and State Cer 

 tified. Bred for the heavy yields 

 which this variety is capable 

 of producing. If you have not 

 grown Dorsett we recommend 

 that you give it a trial this 

 year.
