Heavy Cropper—Excellent 
Quality—Good Shipper. 
Dorsett is one of the new berries originated by the 
United States Department of Agriculture. It is an off' 
spring of Premier—is extra early, self pollenizing, and 
a heavy cropper. In the few short years since it was 
introduced Dorsett together with Fairfax has stepped far out ahead for 
home use or for market. 
The plants are strong and healthy with a deep root system. They 
have the vitality to set a heavy crop and carry it through to maturity 
with good size and finish. 
Dorsett is a marvel for firmness of flesh and skin—not easily bruised. 
The color is a clear bright snappy red that does not darken even after 
being held several days or shipped long distances. This firmness and 
high quality of the berry and the rich bright color have established 
Dorsett as a money-maker on the market. 
In comparison with common Strawberries Dorsett sells at 50c to 
$1.00 per crate higher and brings repeat business. Dorsett is in the 
“stream-lined” class. Plant Dorsett this spring. See prices on inside 
front cover. 
Beaver 
Fairfax 
A wonderful berry—large- 
deep red to the center. 
Beaver 
Beaver is rapidly becoming popular on account of heavy yield, 
early season, good color and excellent shipping quality. The fruit is 
firm, and red clear through, making it especially good for canning, 
as it retains its color in the can. The flavor is not as high as Dorsett 
and Fairfax but the heavy yield and other good qualities make it a de¬ 
sirable Strawberry to plant. Beaver is recommended especially for 
sandy soil as it appears to do better on sandy soils than on heavy clay. 
Fairfax is another of the outstanding Strawberries originated by the 
United States Department of Agriculture. Early fruiting, self polleniz- 
ing, and a heavy cropper. Ranks alongside of Dorsett in value and pop¬ 
ularity. 
Fairfax is an exceptionally vigorous plant with large dark green 
healthy foliage and a deep root system. It is a good plant maker—holds 
up well through the fruiting season. In comparative tests it has pro¬ 
duced over 11,000 quarts per acre in a very wet year and over 5,000 
quarts per acre in a very dry year. 
The quality of Fairfax is excellent. Equal to Dorsett and some think 
even a little better. This high quality of Fairfax together with the 
“red to the center” color and firmness of berry makes it a ready seller 
on the market where it brings a premium of 50c to $1.00 per crate. 
Fairfax is also in the “stream-lined” 
class. Plant freely of Fairfax this spring.

Dim la ft Dunlap is a very substantial and de- 
L/ U n I a p pendable medium-season sort that has 
had in the past, wide popularity. Berries are medium 
size, bright red clear through and of good quality. It 
still has many friends, although it is being largely sup¬ 
erseded by the newer varieties. 
Li -,l _ Mastodon is the largest of the old 
JVlaStOOOn everbearing Strawberries. The 
berries are bright red, good quality, and the plants 
prolific if the soil and conditions are good. Mastodon 
is the most satisfactory and dependable of the older 
sorts. 
PfPfnidl 1 Premier is a fine early berry. It does 
well over a wide range of territory 
and on almost any soil. The berries are good average 
size, a medium red color and show up well in the pack¬ 
age. It is firm enough to ship moderate distances and 
the quality is better than most other varieties now gen¬ 
erally grown. 
{»*£**■** Gem is one of the newer everbearing Straw- 
berries that are attracting attention. In our 
experience fruiting it in the summer of 1935 it pro¬ 
duced more berries than Mastodon, but the berries 
were not as large. We recommend it for limited trial.
