FAIRFAX and DORSETT 
Two Brand New Varieties of 
Superior Quality 
Developed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
Selected from thousands of seedlings, and tested for 
several years. 
Both Fairfax and Dorsett far surpass in quality any 
varieties known to growers in this country. Flavor of 
the finest, coupled with the vigorous, healthy and produc¬ 
tive growing habits, and the large, beautiful berries will, 
we believe, make them the leading early Strawberries, 
even displacing Premier in many places. 
The berries of Dorsett and of Fairfax differ in some 
ways. Fairfax berries are very firm. They are a bright 
red when picked at the proper time; can be left on the 
vines for several days without picking and still be of 
good quality, solid and firm. If this is done, berries will 
be somewhat darker in color, which may be a disad¬ 
vantage on the market, making Fairfax more of a home 
market and garden variety. 
Dorsett berries are also firm; firmer than Premier, 
and are a beautiful light red in color. They hold this 
color well, and for this reason, together with their at¬ 
tractive shape and extra fine quality, will undoubtedly 
become the leading commercial variety. 
Commercial growers who have tested all 
kinds say that if they were limited to one 
variety, Dorsett would be their 
choice. 
Dorsett. 
Both Dorsett and Fairfax ripen at the same 
time as Premier, and are very heavy produc¬ 
ers. The introducers report a yield of 400 to 
500 16-quart cases per acre. The plants are 
vigorous and healthy in manner of growth, 
and are frost resistant. 
Those Strawberry growers who are con¬ 
stantly looking for something better should 
get started with these two varieties. Since 
Premier was introduced many years ago, 
these are the only varieties we have 
found which can take its place. Our 
lanting stock was secured direct 
rom the introducers, and you can be 
certain of obtaining guaranteed true- 
to-name plants from us. 
Fairfax.
