hints on growing straw¬ 
berries are given here. 
DORSETT 
Its Bright Red Color and Rich. Delicious Flavor 
Always Bring Top Market Prices 
Ripening early, with Premier and Blakemore, 
this variety has rapidly come to the top in favor. 
Originated in 1923 by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, 
introduced in 1934, Dorsett 
is now well known and 
widely planted in all 
strawberry sections of the 
United States. In this lati¬ 
tude it does exceptionally 
well. Very resistant to leaf 
spot diseases. Its flavor is 
mild sub-acid, sweet and 
very pleasing. The fruit is 
usually conic in shape, 
bright red in color, some¬ 
what firmer than Premier 
but not as firm as Fairfax. 
FAIRFAX 
A Favorite In Quality, Flavor and Productiveness 
Originated and introduced with Dorsett; now wide¬ 
ly known and planted. Far superior to all other 
varieties we know of in quality, and for home garden 
or local markets it cannot be beat. Fairfax has a 
tendency to become dark when over-ripe (although 
it remains solid and full flavored), and for this reason 
the berries should be kept picked as they ripen. The 
berries are exceptionally large all through the fruit¬ 
ing season, and very firm. Starts ripening about two 
days after Dorsett, and fruiting season covers a long 
period. The plants are large and vigorous. Plant 
Fairfax for its superb flavor, large size and universal 
demand.
