 2>o^Uel^ 2>e/Ute^ • wonderful crops of berries! 



As many as Premier! And such berries! They are larger, firmer and far 

 better in quality than Premier. In fact, Dorsett is the most delicious of all 

 berries except Fairfax and some think it even equals Fairfax, The berries are 

 yery beautiful, too — a bright rich red, which darkens very little on holding. 



Our records show that Dorsett has 

 been the most profitable early berry we 



have ever had, although Blakemore is 

 grown more generally in this section. 

 Where Dorsett is to be sliipped some 

 distance it should be kept picked fairly 

 close and shipped direct to market. 

 Dorsett is not a favorite with auction 

 buyers at shipping point, but wliere it 

 is well grown it sells with the best on 

 either wholesale or retail markets. 



What about Dorsett's demands? A 

 climate not too severe. From the lati- 

 tude of North Carolina and Tennessee 

 to Southern New England, or slightly 

 further North in protected locations, 

 Dorsett is superb. Under severe con- 

 ditions of frost and cold, Dorsett just 

 can't "take it" like Premier, Fairfax 

 and Catskill. However, Dorsett might 

 justly be called the tip-top high qual- 

 ity early berry for the middle states. 



Dorsett too vigorous? Individual 



plants of Dorsett from a well set row 

 are not always as robust as Fairfax 

 and some others, but when set early 

 under even fairly good conditions, Dor- 

 sett makes a truly remarkable growth. 

 Too many plants are likely to be made. 

 If they are limited to four to eight 

 plants per square foot of fruiting row, 

 it will be easier for Dorsett to set a 

 crop and the berries will be larger, 

 prettier, and better in quality. 



"Last year I picked around 10,000 

 quarts of Dorsett to the acre" says Mr. 

 W. G. Niven of Norfolk Co., Virginia, 

 whose letter is printed in full on page 

 28. Growers who (?an make Dorsett do 

 what it is capable of, really "have 

 something." No commercial growers 

 or home gardeners should pass Dor- 

 sett by without a trial. It may be the 

 best berry for them. Our Dorsett plants 

 this year are unusually strong and 

 well rooted. Price list, page 35.
