Developed from a cross of Royal Sovereign X 

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

 culture. This relatively new variety has rapidly attained widespread 

 popularity in every berry growing section in the country. 

 Taking its place high in the ranks of leading early berries, Dorsett 

 strawberries are widely planted in every State in the union. Commercial 

 growers know that its ready adaptability to almost any type of soil; its 

 vigorously abundant growth (assuring good crops even in poor seasons) 

 make Dorsett the kind of berry that comes through with paying crops. 

 Its rich, attractive, bright red color, and its ability to retain firmness long 

 after picking, makes Dorsett an excellent shipper (even over exceptional- 

 ly long hauls) and the kind of strawberry that buyers pay more for. Each 

 year more and more growers find that Dorsett strawberries are one of the 

 best profit yielding early berries that is possible to grow. To meet the 

 ever growing demand for Dorsett, Townsend grows 

 one of the largest plantings in the country. Liter- 

 ally millions of Townsends' Select Strain Dorsett
