Just the berry to grow for your own use and to treat 
your friends. It is not a market berry for the North. 
It may be all right for the South and West. The

At its best on heavy or medium heavy land. For best 
results should not be allowed to set too many plants.

that will take the place of the Marshall and First 
Quality as a home berry. Better in quality than 
either of these two varieties and far more pro¬ 
ductive.

to offer Dorsett to our customers this year.
