RIES 
Page 10—Earl E. May Seed Co., Shenandoah, Iowa 
A variety originated by the United States Department 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 Premier. 
Actual tests have proven that Dorsett will almost double 
the yields of Premier. 6,640 quarts per acre is the record 
of Dorsett. 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.

Almost the Year Around 
Delicious, Sweet, Fresh Ones—From Your Own Garden 
This has been a great year for strawberry production. Those who 
had a nice planting of these fine, hardy varieties had all the delicious, 
fresh strawberries they could use. You can have fresh berries from 
your own garden from early spring until freezing weather simply 
by planting an assortment of these best of all varieties. 
The earliest ones in the spring are Fairfax and Dorsett. Senator 
Dunlap and Blakemore are the two leading main crop varieties. 
Mastodon, Gem and Wayzata give you big crops in MaV and June 
and large quantities of berries in August, September, October and 
November. Plant some of all of these and have 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—Spring is Best 
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-find 
packages carefully packed to reach you in first class condition.
