duction. Plants extreme-

YELLOW FREE PLANTS, as this is 
very important to you. 
DORSETT 
No other introduced variety except 
Fairfax has the fine dessert quality of 
Dorsett. There are some differences of 
opinion as to whether Dorsett or Fairfax 
is the best in quality, but there is little 
difference in opinion as .-to the fact that 
the two varieties stand head and shoulder 
above the general run of leading commer- 
cial sorts as far as quality is concerned. 
Dorsett berries average very large in 
size, being about as large as the Fairfax.

Fairfax 




Blakemore 
We feel that Dorsett is firm enough so © 
that, coupled with its other outstanding 
“qualities it will become a leading com- 
mercial variety. Dorsett berries are 
rather light in color, being fully as light . - 
as Premier, and holding their light color 
about as weil as Blakemore. This proba- 
bly will be a big factor when marketing 
Dorsett on the wholesale markets where 
buyers are accustomed to considering 
dark color a definite sign of over-ripe- 
ness. Berries are. beautiful in appear- 
ance, the light color, bright green cap, 
large size and attractive shape make them 
very desirable and should appeal to eae 
buyers. Perfect flowering. 
FAIRFAX 
Fairfax is considered better in quality 
than Premier even much better than any 
of those varieties which have been con- 
sidered at the very peak in quality. We 
have never seen a healthier growing plant 
nor plants that would maintain this vigor 
better than these new berries, Fairfax 
and Dorsett: In this respect they are 
fully as good as Premier and Blakemore, 
having a dark green, almost black foliage 
which seems to almost radiate vigor. 
Fairfax berries average very large, much 
larger than Premier and _ considerably 
larger than Blakemore. Fairfax berries 
are very firm, they are equal or superior 
to Blakemore, and firmer than Premier. 
Fairfax berries picked at the proper time 
are a bright red with a green cap and 
prominent yellow seeds which make them 
very attractive. Perfect flowering. For 
prices see page 8
