■■II Bunting Plants 80 Per Cent of Fruiting Acreage 
to Dorsett 
Because Dorsett in our judgment has proved the best berry to grow for general commercial purposes, 
we are fruiting this season 80% of our acreage to Dorsett exclusively. 
Medium Qrade Soils Preferred 
Commercial growers will find that Dorsett under certain conditions, where the soil is fertile, will produce 
plants too thick and which curtails the fruit yield. This, however, can be easily overcome by allowing 
the plants to spread over the matted row of space, rather than hold them back with the cultivator, thus 
making a thick matted row. We advise thinning out during the month of November where the rows are 
thickly matted, allowing sufficient air space to penetrate the rows. Do not allow them to come into 
bearing in very thick matted rows, in order to get the maximum fruit yield that you are entitled to. 
Technical Description of Fruit 
Form: Blunt conic, sometimes round to long conic; sffie large except toward end of season; pubescence 
on pedicel adpressed; calyx slightly reflexed in mature berries, large; berry including apex ripens uniform* 
ly; color bright red; seeds greenish, yellow or reddish, slightly sunken; flesh light red; texture medium 
firm, without cavity, juicy; shipping quality fair; flavor mild sub*acid, aromatic; dessert quality very high. 
Dorsett Excellent Qarden and Commercial Variety 
In many instances a variety that is extensively planted for commercial purposes, is not desirable for your 
garden. That isn’t true of Dorsett, because it is by far the most highly flavored Strawberry that we 
have ever tested. 
Commercial sorts are not as generally palatable as those recommended for garden planting, because 
the best shipping berries are usually very acid. With Dorsett we find a combination of good shipping 
quality, and best of flavor. Strawberry growers today find that both Dorsett and Fairfax have excellent 
shipping qualities, unsurpassed flavor and good palatable fruit. 
Prices: For selected plants, 25 for 30c; 100 for 70c; 250 for 
#1.45; 1000 for #4.50; 5000 for #20.00. 
To Buy the Best is Good Economy.
