NEW INTRODUCTION OF THE DEPART¬ 
MENT OF AGRICULTURE. A cross of Royal 
Sovereign and Premier (or Howard 17). Propagated 
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and released 
three years ago for the first time. 
An eastern nurseryman introduced this two years 
ago, and has this to say about it: “We so thoroughly 
believe in its possibilities that we would not even set 
Premier for fruiting if we had enough Dorsett plants 
available.” 
PRODUCTIVENESS. On a test plot Dorsett pro¬ 
duced 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 Everbearer plants. We are growing both Fairfax and Dor- 
sett on new land, which accounts to a great extent for the extra large size 
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 size 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 REDUCED. We were compelled to return money on many 
hundred orders last year, being sold out the latter part of the season. 
While we have a larger acreage of Dorsetts, we have our price substan¬ 
tially reduced. Do not be disappointed, order early and have your plants 
reserved. For prices, see page 31. 
On this page we present to you a true picture of our heavy-rooted, 
hardy, northern grown, new land Dorsett plants. These were dug and 
this photograph was taken October 26, 1934. Just a sample of the sturdy 
plants we have to offer our customers 
for 1935.
