DORSETT 



Like most people Dorsett has many good points and a 

 few bad ones. Dorsett ripens about with Premier. At its 

 best it is equal to Premier in plant growth and produc- 

 tion. It is superior to Premier in attractiveness and firm* 

 ness. The quality of Dorsett is much better than Premier, 

 in fact surpassed only by Fairfax and Fairpeake. The 

 bad points of Dorsett are that it is susceptible to frost 

 injury and it is hard to make all the blossoms set fruit. 

 To help overcome these things avoid frosty sites, don't 

 over-fertilize the row making it too dense and don't let 

 the plants become too thick in the row. For serveral years 

 most stocks of Dorsett were greatly weakened, particu- 

 larly in plant growth, by a virus disease which experts 

 tell us is present in all parts of the country. Our present 

 stock of Dorsett is either free from virus or highly 

 resistant to it. We have for the past two or three 

 years grown beautiful plants of this variety. 



Where Dorsett is at its best it is one of the most 

 productive and profitable of all varieties. Our own 

 1952 crop of fruit was superb. Those who can grow 

 it at its best will find it hard to beat. Price list page

SUWANNEE 



(Missionary x Premier) 



This new berry was originated by the U. S. D. A. 

 It is very early, a free grower and has very fine 

 quality. It is considered the best home garden berry 

 the southern states have ever had and there have 

 been good reports from Suwannee from as far north 

 as New York State. The berries are rather long and 

 pointed, fairly light and very attractive. The cap or 

 hull generally stands up from the berry leaving a 

 smooth neck. Although Suwannee is solid enough to 

 be a shipping berry, high quality has made it known 

 primarily as a garden variety. Worth trying in the 

 middle states and a '"must" for southern berry 

 gardens. Price list page 31. 



KLONDYKE 



A solid southern shipping berry which until Blake- 

 more appeared was grown on more acres than any 

 other variety. Still widely grown, but has been re- 

 placed in many sections by Blakemore and Klon-. 

 more. Berries are firm, light, ripen evenly, good for 

 processing. We have no special selling talk on Klon- 

 dyke but for those who know it and like it we have 

 some strong, vigorous, robust plants. Price list page

KLONMORE 



Strictly a berry for a part of the south — the lower 

 part of the Gulf States, Florida and the eastern coast 

 of Georgia. A cross of Klondyke and Blakemore, 

 light in color, uniform in shape, attractive in appear- 

 ance, and firm enough to ship anywhere. In the 

 regions indicated Klonmore is much better in quality 

 and is said to be more productive than Blakemore, 

 Klondyke or Missionary. Perhaps a southern ship- 

 ping berry of high quality will result in greater con- 

 sumption and better prices for soutnern berry 

 growers. It is well wortn trying in the region indi- 

 cated. Price list page 31.
