d by the Department of Agriculture. Some of these 

 ^cent origination are still unknown, except to a few 

 l-y, as it has behaved with us, together with reports 

 »nt states. These varieties should be given a fair test. 



BELLMAR (early) Because of its superior characteristics it is recommended 

 for trial in all States that Premier is adapted to. In the Southern States it has 

 produced heavy crops of superior fruit. The berries of Bellmar are large to extra 

 large, of rich bright red, having a very large green cap and a gloss that has 

 caused this variety to be selected as the most handsome among hundreds at the 

 Department Station. 



FAIRFAX The parentage of the Fairfax is not definitely known. It was among 

 the selections made in 1925 at the United States Department Station, Glen Dale, 

 Maryland. In 1928 its characteristic fine appearance, exceptional firmness and 

 high dessert quality were outstanding throughout the whole season. The Fairfax 

 is a moderate runner producer, not usually making a dense matted row. Foliage, 

 dark green, somewhat glossy and large. In season of ripening Fairfax is about 

 the same season as Premier. The fruiting season extending over a long period 

 holding up well to the last picking. The berries are typically conic shape of 

 bright red color, becoming dark when over-ripe. Because of its color and shape 

 it presents a very fine appearance. The flavor of Fairfax is very sweet when 

 normally grown, retaining its flavor better than most sorts in cool wet weather. 

 It is firmer than most commercial varieties grown in the East with a tougher 

 skin, and will stand long distance shipping. Give Fairfax a fair trial this year. 



DORSETT Originated from a cross of Royal Sovereign and Premier. The 

 Dorsett is a vigorous growing variety, under normal conditions, producing many 

 runners and making a matted row. Its ripening season begins about the same 

 time as that of Premier. But, a much larger early crop is produced. The fruit is 

 usually conic shape, presenting a very uniform appearance. The color is bright 

 red, lighter than Premier, and does not become dark when over-ripe. Flavor is 

 mild sub-acid under normal conditions it is sweet and very pleasing, but not as 

 rich as Fairfax. We recommend giving Dorsett a trial this year, as it has shown 

 no weakness as compared with standard sorts.
