A variety originated by the United States Depart- 
snt of Agriculture. A cross of Premier and Royal 
Sovereign. This royal blood makes it a brighter red 
than Premier, gives it a longer fruiting season and 
flavor and eating qualities even superior to the Pre¬ 
mier. 
Actual tests have proven that Dorsett will almost double 
the yields of Premier. 6,640 quarts per acre is the record 
of Dorsptt. It’s a large sized berry which ripens a little 
earlier than Premier and continues its bearing over an ex¬ 
tremely long period of time. Order quickly as our supply 
of this new, reliable, heavy fruiting variety is limited. 
Fresh Ones Too—From Your Own Garden 
By planting an assortment of these hardy fine varieties, including 
Gem, Mastodon and Wayzata, you can have fresh strawberries from 
your own garden from early spring until freezing weather. First to 
come on in the spring are Fairfax and Dorsett; Senator Dunlap and 
Blakemore should be your main crop varieties. Gem, Mastodon and 
Wayzata give you big crops in May and June and large supplies of 
berries in August, September, October, and November. Planting 
some of all of these gives you fresh strawberries almost the year 
around. 
Carefully Selected Fruiting Strains 
My Strawberry plants are selected and propagated from the high¬ 
est yielding plants that have fruited true to name and have pro¬ 
duced extra quality fruit. You get these extra quality and extra 
select fruiting strains at no additional cost to you when you order 
Earl May’s Selected Fruiting Strains of Strawberry Plants. 
When to Plant 
Plant your berries just as early in the Spring as you can get into 
the ground. That is the one best time to set them out. You can 
plant them on low ground; they like light soil. For garden planting 
set the rows 2 feet apart, plants 1 foot apart in rows. 
You folks in the South can get your Strawberry Plants early in 
February and March. Usually we are able to take care of orders up 
until the first of May. Order early so we can ship early. 
Different kinds of Strawberries do not mix so June bearing varie¬ 
ties, such as Dunlap or Everbearing varieties like Mastodon can be 
planted together. All varieties I offer you are perfect flowered and 
do not need any other kind planted with them to produce fruit. 
Fresh Dug—Shipped Separately 
I send you only fresh dug plants. Strawberries are not shipped 
with other nursery stock. They are sent by themselves in open-end 
packages carefully packed to reach you in first class condition. •
