Who wouldn't smile ovei' fancy Dorsett berries such as little Miss Steininger holds? 



DORSETT OUTSTANDING IN ILLINOIS 



It is my belief that Dorsett is the most successful berry for the corn belt area of the middle west. 

 I tried Dorsett, Fairfax, and Catsldll and my records show Dorsett produced 8,063 qts. per acre on an 

 equivalent basis as against 5,000 qts. for Catskilland 4,024 for Fairfax. The latter has a much better 

 flavor, but cannot match Dorsett for production and general purpose berry in our heavy black soil. 



It gives me pleasure to have recorded the size of my Dorsetts with a picture which I am enclosing. 

 The little girl displaying them is my daughter, Claudia Steininger.
