DORSETT 



Greatest Yield-Highest Price-IVIost Profit per Acre 



DORSETT has given us these things more often than any other early 

 variety. At its best Dorsett is as productive as Premier, and the 

 berries are larger, firmer, more beautiful and far better in quality than 

 Premier. That is indeed high praise for any variety, and Dorsett is 

 worthy of it. 



Dorsett tastes better than any other variety except Fairfax. 

 The berries are beautiful — a bright, rich red which remains fairly 

 light even after the berries get quite ripe. 



Dorsett ranks high as a shipping berry where 

 berries are kept reasonably well picked. 



Dorsett has as parents Royal Sovereign, from 

 which it gets its hig^li quality, and Premier, the 

 source of its productiveness and liealtliy foliage. 



Dorsett's only serious fault is its inability to 

 consistently set big crops of fruit under adverse 

 conditions. Sometimes this happens when Dor- 

 sett runner plants become too thickly set in the 

 row. Other times because late frosts or freezes 

 catch them in blooming time and they just 

 can't take it like Premier. The remedies are 

 to take advantage of the unusual vigor of Dor- 

 sett by training runners until a very wide 

 well spaced row (4 to 8 plants per square foot) is 

 formed and then to cut off the surplus. This will 

 give a maximum yield per acre. Also sites known 

 to be subject to late frosts should be avoided. 



Where Dorsett will behave, no variety could 

 be finer. It might well be called the middle 

 states early berry. Although there are many 

 good reports on Dorsett from states as far south 

 as Georgia, Dorsett's best territory is from the 

 latitude of North Carolina and Tennessee to 

 southern New England and New York. With 

 overhead irrigation or specially favored sites to 

 ward off late frost injury, Dorsett makes wonder- 

 fully fine crops " 'way up north." 



Dorsett is so good that no grower can afford 

 to pass it by without finding out if he can grow 

 it at its best. It's a dandy when it's right. 



Our fields are well supplied with tiptop Dor- 

 sett plants and we hope to have your orders.

"People buy my Dorsett and Catskill as fast as 

 we get them picked." — Mr. Ambrose 

 Schneider, St. Charles Co., Mo. 



•'My Dorsett berries were the talk of the 

 whole town. Everybody was asking about 

 the big, beautiful berries that had such 

 a delicious flavor. We had quantities of 

 them of which it took only 25 to- fill a 

 quart basket. My only regret is that I 



^oi^ didn't set 5,000 instead of 500." — Mrs.
