■^■^**^”***^* ” plant maker, in fact, sometimes it sets too 
many plants. It holds up well through the season and is remarkably 
free from disease. Not as high in quality as Premier but more firm 
and more attractive in the box. It ships well, sells well and cans 
well. There have been some unfavorable reports on Blakemore in the 
North but it is believed these adverse reports may have come from 
fields where the plants were allowed to grow too thick. On account 
of the splendid fruit, firm, dark red way through, and excellent 
canning qualities, we recommend Blakemore for liberal trial.

Combining Greater Vigor — Yields Improved Quality 
Close observers predict these new varieties, especially Fairfax and Dor- 
sett, will supersede all other early strawberries. 
Since Premier is one of the parents of these 4 new varieties and is well 
known to most strawberry growers, the best way to give you a clear picture 
of the qualities and worth of these new varieties is to compare them with 
Premier. 
is more vigorous than Premier and holds up better through 
the fruiting season. It is fully as healthy and free from 
disease. Considered just as productive as Premier under normal weather 
conditions, and more productive in dry seasons. The berries are larger and 
firmer and the quality much superior to Premier. Fairfax is a very attrac¬ 
tive dark red. It is a moderate runner maker but better than Premier. 
Those who appreciate quality berries and 
want to get started with the best should 
plant Fairfax and Dorsett.

Fairfax. 
compared to Premier is just as free from 
disease, and is a better plant maker. It is 
more vigorous than Premier and able to hold up the size of 
the fruit better through the season. It is a little heavier 
fruiter under normal moisture conditions and bears consid¬ 
erably better than Premier under dry conditions. The berries 
are bright red, larger and firmer and more attractive than 
Premier and command $1.00 to $1.50 per case more than 
Premier on the market. One of the exceptional features of 
Dorsett as well as of Fairfax is the exceptional quality of 
the fruit. They are quality berries and command top price 
on the market. It is freely predicted that when plants are 
more plentiful, Dorsett and Fairfax will be our leading com¬ 
mercial as well as home berries. Supply very limited this 
spring; order early. 
Dorsett. 
Q 11^^ —another new strawberry originated by the U. S. Department of 
Deilmar Agriculture; more vigorous than Premier. Not quite as productive, 
but better in quality and firmness of berry. The fruit is very attractive in appearance 
and in a moist year has produced 
as high as 10,000 quarts per acre. 
Bellmar brings a good price on 
the market and will prove to be 
a money-maker.
