Dorsett 
Has Every Desirable Strawberry Feature 
Dorsett gives every promise of becoming the most profitable strawberry ever 
introduced. Experiment stations in Mich., Ill., N. Y., and Washington, D. C. do 
not hesitate to say that it is superior to Premier in size and quality. Com¬ 
mercial growers like Dorsett because it makes more profit. It does so because 
its firmness, big size, fine flavor and wonderfully bright color are just what 
both the wholesale buyer and the housewife want. Originated 
by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture at Washington, and tested 
since 1923, it has proven superior in these points: 
1. Ripens as early as Premier. 
2. Average yield much more than Premier. 
3. Very vigorous grower, making almost as many plants as 
Blakemore —assuring good crops even in poor seasons. 
4. Firmer berries than Premier—firm as Blagemore—fine 
shipper. 
5. Light red, glossy berries that buyers want and pay more 
for —sells best on every market. 
6. Flavor superior to any other strawberry unless it is Fairfax. 
7. Size well above average —larger than Premier. 
Like Dorsett, Experiment stations say that Fairfax is much superior to Premier, particularily 
in firmness and it is generally judged slightly better than Dorsett in excellent flavor. Originated 
by U. S. D. A. in 1925. 
Fairfax Differs from Dorsett in These Ways: 
1. Called the most deliciously flavored of all. 
2. Even firmer berries. 
3. Berries are larger—even larger than Dorsett. 
4. Color dark red, turning darker after picking. 
5. Does not make quite so many plants, but 
still better than Premier. 
6. Not quite so productive as Dorsett but will 
average as good or better than Premier. 
WHICH TO PLANT? These descriptions 
show that both are wonderfully fine berries. 
Both are of superior size and flavor, making 
either desirable for home gardens. The 
lighter, more attractive color of Dorsett may 
make it more profitable for the general market and most re¬ 
ports seem to prefer it. But the somewhat larger size and 
exceptional quality of Fairfax are to be considered. 
Low Price—I 00 for $1.00; i 000 for $5.75 
Large fields of GEM fruited in this section last fall and we know that in 
this new everbearer we have a really fine fall berry for good size, fine flavor 
and unusual firmness. It produces enough and more new plants in good 
and poor seasons to insure big fall crops. This is something other fall bear¬ 
ers do not do. 
Size—Flavor—Firmness 
1. Size—every berry well above average—from first to last picking 
2. Flavor—a true strawberry flavor—something most everbearers don’t have. 
3. Firmness —remarkably firm—only everbearer* that reaches market in 
really first class shape. Firmness and flavor are its big points. 
4. Productiveness —GEM produces so many plants for an everbearer that 
some should be cut for best crops of biggest berries. 
MICHIGAN EXPT. STATION SAYS —“Gem is certainly a wonder as far 
as plant making is concerned and it certainly bears well. It has done the 
best for us of any of the everbearers during the past season.”
