DORSETT 



A VERY PROHTABLE EARLY VARIETY THROUGHOUT 

 THE EAST CENTRAL AND CENTRAL STATES 



Since 1933, DORSETT has been a leading early profit 

 maker throughout the East Central and Central States. 

 Real beauty matched by fine flavor is the secret. Fruit 

 does well in these areas if ordinary care is exercised in 

 picking and shipping. DORSETT' S beauty and high pro- 

 duction will repay the grower for the little extra care it 

 may require. 



Vigorous Growth — Highly resistant to leaf diseases. Requires 

 very little fertilizer or manure on rich soils. 



Large Size — Holds up well with sufficient moisture. Under 

 dry conditions may run smaller in size at end of season. 



Finest Flavor — Berries medium light red to center, retaining 

 light color and flavor quality even when full ripe. 



Good Producer — Fewer blossoms than Premier, but often outproduces it with larger berries. 



Fair Shipper — Fairly firm, but requires careful handling. Highly valued by growers in re- 

 commended areas.
