Dorsett and Fairfax 



Size Makes the First Sale — Quality Brings Them Back 



"Dorsett berries large and uniform in size. 

 Fairfax extra large in size. Some weighed two 

 and one-half ounces — too large to crate." — Harry 

 E. Benson, Carroll Co., Ohio. 



"Had berries measuring six inches around. 

 Largest I have ever grown. One-half larger than 

 Premier." — Mr. E. G. Hall, Monroe Co., Ohio. 



"Our Dorsett and Fairfax were good sized, 

 marketable berries down to the last picking. 

 The first picking was extra large, a customer 

 finding one that measured IV-l" in circumference. 

 They were easy to sell. My mistake was in not 

 getting more plants." — Mr. Roland Horney, 

 Logan Co., 111. 



'"My Dorsett and Fairfax berries were the 

 largest I ever saw and the flavor was delicious. 

 The demand for them was so great I could not 

 supply all my customers." — Mr. Batie Watts, 

 Jessamine Co., Ky. 



"I had five Fairfax berries that laying side by 

 side measured more than 12 inches. I have sev- 

 eral that measured three inches in diameter, 

 and one which measured 12 inches around the 

 outside. Dorsett did not have as many unusually 

 large ones but there were many that measured 

 2h" to 3" in diameter. Most of them brought 

 me 40<? per quart. I am indeed pleased." — Mr. 

 H. W. Miller, Kosciusko Co., Ind. 



"Your files are probably full of reports of 

 large berries grown on vines that you sold, but 

 still I want to add this one. Among many berries 

 that were over 6 inches in circumference grown 

 on Dorsett vines bought of you there was one 

 that was 9V2 inches in circumference one wav 



and 1V2 inches the other and it was just fine in 

 flavor.— Mr. A. P. Marty, Baltimore Co., Md. 



"People are beginning to learn that there is a 

 difference in strawberries as well as other fruits. 

 After our customers tried Dorsett and Fairfax 

 we could not supply the demand." — Mr. Otto 

 Gant, Ross Co., Ohio. 



"The pickers all wanted Dorsett to take home. 

 No more Premier." — Elmer J. Schrock, Douglas 

 Co., 111. 



"Best in this county for quality. All other 

 kinds were turned clown for the Dorsett." — Mr. 

 G. Eulitz, Cumberland Co., N. J. 



"Fairfax is best of all in quality. Dorsett not 

 far behind. They are both easy to sell." — Mr. 

 R. E. Dewey, Jefferson Co., Mo. 



"Both Fairfax and Dorsett far superior in 

 quality to Premier, and our sales records show 

 that they are more profitable than Premier as 

 well."— Mr. Fred B. Edgell, Harrison Co., W. Va. 



"My pickers always wanted to pick first in the 

 Dorsett and Fairfax on account of the fine 

 flavor. I have five varieties but Dorsett and 

 Fairfax beat them all in flavor. As people get 

 acquainted with these two berries they buy them 

 and pay a little more in preference to any other 

 strawberries." — J. H. Sandy, Augusta Co., Va. 



"Our Dorsett and Fairfax this season gave us 

 the largest crop of quality berries we have ever 

 grown. We had no trouble to sell them whole- 

 sale or retail. Obtained 20^ to 25c per quart for 

 many of ours on Lancaster market when others 

 were selling 7c to 10C^ per quart." — Mr. H. Wil- 

 bur Heller, Lancaster Co., Pa. 



FAIRFAX — Size, quality and appearance make them easy to sell.
