makes it very attractive in the box. It is a good producer 
the first season and bears a good second and third crop 
the second year. In some sections in California this variety 
along with Pride of Montana is grown commercially and 
sells up to 5 cents per box above the price of other varieties 
as a non-acid berry. Empire produces a fair number of 
rather small plants and does well in either hills or spaced 
rows. 
WAYZATA AND ROCKHILL 
These two excellent new varieties are twin sisters. Both 
are heavy producers of large size berries of the finest 
ciuality, being the best of all the Everbearers. When eaten 
fresh off the vines, they have a wonderfully sweet, delicious 
flavor. Wayzata and Rockhill make almost no runners. 
Instead, the plants form a large crown consisting of sev¬ 
eral divisions. The scarcity of runners make it necessary 
to use the divisions for new plants. For this reason these 
“new” plants or divisions do not have a large, full root 
system like other varieties. But these large crowns with 
often only three or four roots, with good care, make a 
surprisingly rapid and vigorous growth. A yield of four 
boxes per plant the first year has been reported for Wayzata. 
DORSETT (Not Everbearing) 
Since Dorsett was first introduced by the U.S.D.A. five 
years ago, it has been the best money making EARLY 
berry in many sections. Dorsett has been equally as pro¬ 
ductive, the berries have been larger, better looking, much 
better quality, and a better shipping berry than Klondike. 
For home gardens or commercial plantings, Dorsett is 
rapidly replacing it. Dorsett is superior in every way. The 
berry is larger, attractive and light glossy red, with a won¬ 
derful flavor all of its own. 
Dorsett is a vigorous grower, and must be given plenty 
of room, the plants spaced or thinned for best results. 
Set plants 24 to 30 inches in rows three to four feet apart. 
Space runner plants 6 to 9 inches apart and keep all other 
runners cut off, and you will get a bumper crop of wonder¬ 
ful berries. 
BLAKEMORE 
(Not Everbearing) 
Another introduction of the U. S. Department of Agri¬ 
culture that succeeds well in the interior valleys of Cali-*" 
fornia. Blakemore is a heavy and persistent producer of 
excellent quality berries for both shipping and canning. 
It produces over a long .season and will bear a good second 
crop where others fail.
