DORSETT 



A VERY PROFITABLE 

 EARLY VARIETY THROUGH- 

 OUT THE EAST CENTRAL 

 AND CENTRAL STATES 



Superb flavor and fine dessert quali- 

 ties to delight any table. Unusually 

 firm, large and highly productive. 

 FAIRFAX ranks high commercially as 

 it is one of the major early varieties 

 successfully grown as far south as 

 North Carolina and in all Central and 

 Northern States. Usually a day or two 

 later than Premier, but exceptionally 

 long fruiting season often as late as 

 Chesapeake. We consider FAIRFAX 

 the best of all home garden berries. 



Sturdy Growth — Plants develop vigorously, 

 free from leaf spot and scorch. Foliage holds 

 up unusually well at fruiting. 



Very Large Size— FAIRFAX large size holds 

 up well through exceptionally long fruiting 

 season. 



Firm Shippers — Firm, even-textured body 

 gives FAIRFAX excellent shipping qualities. 



Very Sweet — The flavor is rich, full-bodied 

 and very sweet with a mouth-watering aroma. 



High Yield — Highly productive. Strong, up- 

 standing stems support heavy fruit yield well 

 off ground. 



Rich Color — High gloss, medium light red, 

 turning darker quite rapidly in advanced ripen- 

 ing stage. However, berries remain firm and 

 retain high gloss and delicious flavor even when 

 overripe. 



Frost Resistant — Can be considered one of the 

 more resistant early varieties. 



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 exer- 

 cised in picking and shipping. 

 DORSETT'S beauty and high 

 production will well repay the 

 grower for the little extra care 

 it may require. 



Vigorous Growth — Highly resistant to 

 leaf diseases. Requires very little fer- 

 tilizer or manure on rich soils. 



Large Size — Holds up well with suffi- 

 cient 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 — Slightly more firm than Premier, but requires careful handling. Highly valued by growers in 

 recommended areas.
