Dorsett and Fairfax at the Top 
Hennepin Co., Minn., April 30th, 1936. We have 
had as high as 42 varieties in our trial beds in 
days" gone by, but so far for early berries I would 
put Dorsett and Fairfax at the top. — Mr. F. W. 
TiOcke. 
Produced a Fine Crop. Will Set No Others 
Washington Co., Mo., January 7th, 1936. In the 
spring of 1934 I purchased of you 100 plants each 
of Dorsett and Fairfax. In 1935 they produced a 
fine crop of berries. In my fourteen years of 
experience in producing strawberries I haven't 
.seen one that I believe can compare with Dorsett 
and Fairfax for my part hit or miss. I expect to 
set no other plants in future unless a better kind 
can be found. — Mr. D. L. Simpson. 
Better Than Premier in Both Wet and Dry Season 
Knox Co., Ohio, April 14th, 1936. The Dorsett 
and Fairfax strawberries in a favorable season 
were the best I have ever grown or seen, equal 
to Premier in yield and superior in every other 
respect. During extremely wet and cloudy 
weather they were firm, good color and superior 
in size, quality and appearance to any I have 
ever seen. After two years' trial can say that 
they withstand frosts both years equal to 
Premier and in very dry and very wet seasons 
they were better than any I have ever grown. — 
Mr. B. C. Conway. 
Dorsett Plants in Good Shape 
Lake Co., Tenn., April 22nd, 1936. My 300 Dor- 
sett strawberry plants I bought from you were 
wonderful. Came in good shape. Also the Ever- 
bearing Gem were likewise. I have not lost a 
plant. — Mrs. Thurman McCain. 
Test the Best Ones 
Dorsett, Fairfax and Blakemore are all fine, 
early varieties which every grower should try 
out. To indicate the necessity for each grower 
to try them out for himself to see which is best 
under his conditions, we quote the experience of 
three growers in Eastern Maryland, all of whom 
are good growers and make money in the busi- 
ness. They live within a radius of ten miles of 
each other: 
Mr. W. J. Connor, Marion Station, Md., reports 
very satisfactory crops from Dorsett. He said it 
produced about three times as much per acre 
for him as Blakemore and sold for better prices 
throughout the season. 
F. J. Dukes & Brother, Girdletree, Md., told 
us during our field day May 1936 that in 1935 
their Fairfax yielded at the rate of 11,000 
quarts per acre. Up to that date Mr. Dukes 
reported Dorsett, Fairfax and Blakemore almost 
exactly equal in yield, but said that Fairfax ap- 
parently had more berries left and he thought 
it would again outyield both Dorsett and Blake- 
more. 
Mr. Paul Gunby of Marion Station, Maryland, 
reported a fine crop and good prices from Blake- 
more. Was well pleased with Dorsett, although 
not as good as Blakemore with him. He did 
not like Fairfax because of its dark color when 
full ripe. 
Beauty, size, firmness and quality make Dorsett a real money maker for us
