DORSETT 
NEW INTRODUCTION OF THE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF 
AGRICULTURE. A cross of Royal Sovereign and Premier (or Howard 
17). Propagated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and released 
four years ago for the first time. 
PRODUCTIVENESS. On a test plot Dorsett produced at the rate of 
6,640 quarts per acre, while Premier produced 4,520 quarts. 
FOLIAGE. It is vigorous and healthy, upstanding, and has a very 
thrifty appearance. Nurserymen who visited our plant farms last summer 
were amazed at the healthy, upstanding foliage which was noticeable from 
a distance. The plants are large and compare with the Mastodon Ever' 
bearer plants. We are growing both Fairfax and Dorsett on new land, 
which accounts to a great extent for the extra large si2;e of these plants. 
SIZE OF BERRIES. The berries are considerably larger than those 
of Premier; color very desirable light red; beautiful in appearance, light 
red color and dark green cap; large si 2 ,e and attractive shape; will appeal 
to any buyer in the market for fancy berries. 
FROST PROOF. This variety is too new to have definitely established 
itself as frost proof, but in the few years it has been grown there has been 
little frost damage. One of the largest berry growers in the East, who has 
grown extensively Blakemore, Bellmar, Premier, and other leading kinds, 
and also tested the Dorsett, says that he considers the Dorsett the most 
valuable variety he has grown, and if he were limited to one sort he would 
choose Dorsett. .?■ 
PRICES: 25 for 50c; 50 for 65c; 75 for 80c; 100 for 90c; 200 for 
^1.65; 300 for ^2.20; 500 for ^3.00; 1000 for ^6.00. 
On the largest cash fruit market in Benton Harbor, Michigan, Dorsett 
and Fairfax brought 75c to ^1.00 more a crate last season than any other 
variety. 
FAIRFAX 
Fairfax is a cross of Royal Sovereign and Premier (or Howard 17). 
The most outstanding characteristic of the Fairfax is its quality. It also 
compares favorably in other ways with the best of other spring'bearing 
varieties. 
SIZE OF BERRIES. Berries of Fairfax average very large, even slightly 
larger than Dorsett, larger than Premier and Blakemore under similar 
conditions. 
FROST RESISTANT. Although Fairfax has been fruited for a nuni' 
ber of years and it begins blooming early no frost damage has been noted 
during that period. 
PRODUCTIVENESS. In a test plot Fairfax produced at the rate of 
5,110 quarts per acre, while Premier under similar conditions produced 
4,520 quarts; but we want to bring out the fact very strongly that not 
only the amount per acre is in favor of Fairfax, but also the percentage 
of fancy berries. 
VIGOR, HEALTH AND FOLIAGE. To produce a satisfactory crop 
of berries, a variety must have a healthy foliage. In that respect Fairfax 
is outstanding, having a thrifty, healthy, upstanding dark green foliage. 
COLOR, APPlfeARAN^AND QUALITY. The berries are rich 
red with yellow seeds, very attractive. No berry (except Dorsett) can 
equal Fafrffix in quality. It is inipossible to describe it; to be appreciated 
it must be eaten. By all means tpst this wonderful new variety in your 
locality and reap the profit. Be the" first to supply your neighborhood with 
this winner. 
PRICES REDUCED. We were cbpipelled to return money on many 
hundreds of orders last year, being sold out the latter part of the season. 
PRICES: 25 for 50c; 50 for 65c; 75 for 80c; 100 for 90c; 200 for 
^1.65; 300 for ^2.20; 500 for ^3.00; 1000 for ^6.00. 
Both varieties have made good in all parts of the country. The demand for plants is very active and we predict 
a shortage of plants long before the shipping season is over. Protect yourself. Order early and have your plants 
reserved.
