DORSETT and 
FAIRFAX 
You have heard much of these two, and 
they will probably supplant most early va¬ 
rieties we are now growing, as they have 
been proven successful over a wide area 
and produce the kind of fruit that meets 
with highest prices in all markets. Both 
are of scientific origin by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture, being 
seedlings of Premier and Royal Sov¬ 
ereign, the latter an English variety 
long known for its high dessert qual¬ 
ities. 
Dorsett is somewhat more produc¬ 
tive than Fairfax, but they are both 
heavy producers and the berries aver¬ 
age very large, uniformly larger 
than Premier. Dorsett berries are 
medium light in color while Fairfax 
are medium dark, both are very firm 
making them splendid shipping varieties. In quality these two berries set a new standard. 
Some like Dorsett better, some Fairfax, but both are superior to most any other sort and 
daily bring higher prices in market on this account together with their size and beautiful 
appearance. 
Dorsett 
Strawberries. 
Both Dorsett and Fairfax are practically immune to disease, make very vigorous plant 
growth and maintain their vigor and health of foliage during the entire fruiting season. 
Don’t fail to set Dorsett and Fairfax this year, for they are the coming market berries. 
GRAND CHAMPION 
A. R. KNIGHT 
You will see Grand Champion in very few nursery cata' 
logs this spring, for, while it was discovered and has been 
grown for ten years by a farmer living near New Albany, 
Ind., he kept it for his own use, supplying local markets 
and daily getting better prices than for other varieties ow¬ 
ing to the large size, beautiful color and excellent quality 
of the fruit. 
The writer being in New Albany in the spring of 1932 
and hearing about this wonderful new variety, called on 
the owner and was so impressed that he bought a quantity 
of the plants to be delivered the following spring and, with 
another nurseryman, introduced Grand Champion for the 
first time last season. As you all know, last spring was dis' 
astrous for strawberries. This great strawberry county— 
Berrien—-had as nearly a complete failure as we have ex' 
perienced in fifty years. Under such conditions Grand 
Champion, or any other variety, could not make a repu' 
tation for itself. But it did produce more and better fruit 
than any other variety we picked last .spring and we 
honestly believe it will prove one of the biggest money 
making varieties grown. It ripens a little later than Premier and continues until the late varieties are gone 
—from 35 to 40 days. The outstanding qualities of Grand Champion are its wonderful productiveness, large 
size and handsome appearance of the fruit and the health and vigor of the plant growth. Order 500 or a 
thousand—or more—Grand Champion this year for I really believe they will make you more money 
than any variety you are now growing.
