SPRING VARIETIES 
Early 
BOUQUET—Bouquet makes a limited number of large vigorous 
plants bearing a heavy crop of large, good quality berries whose uni¬ 
form shape and size and bright red color make them attractive indeed. 
Its chief fault is its lack of adaptability to all soils and conditions. With 
us Bouquet has been an outstanding berry with an exceptionally long 
picking season and outyielding Premier in some years. Ripens shortly 
after Premier. 
CATO—Introduced by the New York Experiment Station. Yields 
a heavy crop of large, dark red, sweet berries of excellent quality. Long 
picking season. Plants vigorous. Excellent for home use and local 
market. 
DORSETT—Dorsett is at its best a little farther South and with 
us it does not equal Premier or Fairfax in yield though excelling both in 
attractiveness with its very large bright red beautiful berries. The 
berries do not darken but hold their bright attractive color long after 
picking. In quality it is above average being excelled by Fairfax alone. 
Since Dorsett is a vigorous grower setting a heavy row of plants it re¬ 
sponds well to thinning or spacing of the plants. It ripens just after 
Premier. 
FAIRFAX—This grand berry surpasses all varieties we have 
fruited in firmness and in quality. With us Fairfax ripens a few days 
after Premier and equals or excells Premier in yield. The berries are 
very large, glossy, dark red in color with a tendency to become more so 
as they ripen. Though some consider this dark color a fault, we find 
that, as soon as our customers are acquainted with the superb quality 
of this wonderful berry, its dark color becomes an asset as they can 
distinguish the Fairfax berries from other varieties and are willing to 
pay a premium for them. Fairfax has one of the longest fruiting sea¬ 
sons of any variety. 
PATHFINDER—A cross of Premier and Aberdeen developed by 
the N. J. Experiment Station. We find the yields to be good and the 
berries large, medium .red in color and uniformly conic shaped. They 
are moderately firm and of good quality. It is reported that Pathfinder 
does better on wet and heavy soils than most varieties and is resistant 
to the red stele disease. 
PREMIER—As the leading commercial variety, Premier owes its 
popularity to its wide adaptation to soil and climate, its extreme earli¬ 
ness and to its heavy yields of large uniformly well shaped, bright red rea¬ 
sonably firm berries which hold their size well to the end of a long pick¬ 
ing season. With us Premier withstands drought better than most va¬ 
rieties. Quality good. Plants vigorous and disease resistant. 
New varieties come and go but Premier still remains the most 
popular variety grown. You will make no mistake in planting it.
