DORSETT 
The New Better Early Berry Surpassing Premier in 
Quality, Production, and Profit 
Dorsett was originated and developed by the United States Depart' 
ment of Agriculture. It is a scientific cross between Premier and Royal 
Sovereign, an old English variety noted for its unusually high dessert 
quality. 
COLOR AND APPEARANCE 
Dorsett berries are a beautiful light red in color. This beautiful color 
is retained even after fully ripened. The berries are beautiful in appear- 
ance, the light color, bright green cap, large size and attractive shape 
appealing to all buyers. 
SIZE 
Dorsett berries are very large, averaging a trifle larger than Premier. 
This size is held well throughout the season until the very last of the 
crop which on account of the tremendous yields tends to run down in size slightly. 
FIRMNESS 
Dorsett is firmer than Premier although not quite so firm as Fairfax and Blakemore. 
It is ideal for long distance shipping as well as for local markets. 
QUALITY 
We have never tested any other variety, except Fairfax, that 
has the fine dessert quality of Dorsett. Even in an over-supplied 
market, the large, fine Dorsetts have consistently brought much 
higher prices than other standard varieties. 
PRODUCTIVENESS 
In test plots Dorsett has consistently outyielded all other 
standard varieties. Even under adverse weather conditions it 
has proven its superiority in yield, quality, and flavor. 
GROWTH 
Dorsett is a healthy, vigorous grower. It sets many runners 
and makes a heavy fruiting row. The foliage is a beautiful dark 
green in color and free from Leaf Spot. Fruit stems are stocky 
and erect and hold the berries well off the ground. 
We thoroughly believe that Dorsett has a great future and 
will in a short time replace Premier, Blakemore, and other early 
kinds. Our stock of Dorsett was secured direct from one of the
