Two Leading New Varieties 
TRIED and TESTED— 
Premier’s Rivals 
Developed by U. S. Department of Agriculture. Both 
Dorsett and Fairfax far surpass in quality any varieties 
known to growers in this country. Flavor of the finest, 
coupled with the vigorous, healthy and productive growing 
habits, and the large, beautiful berries will undoubtedly 
make them the leading early Strawberries, even displacing 
Premier in many places. We have fruited both 
of these varieties, and find, without any except 
tions, they are the best ever introduced. Will

Berries are exceptionally firm. They are a 
bright red when picked at the proper time; 
can be left on the vines for several days witlv 
out picking and still be of good 
quality, solid and firm. If this is 
done, berries will be somewhat 
darker in color, which may be a 
disadvantage on the market, mak¬ 
ing Fairfax more of a home mar¬ 
ket and garden variety. However, 
some markets prefer a darker 
berry, especially when of such 
fine quality as Fairfax.
