Bountiful Ridge Small Berry Plants Are Superior 

PREMTER 
LEADS ALL STRAWBERRIES IN 
NORTHERN PRODUCING AREAS 
AN OLD FAVORITE AND POSSIBLY THE WORLD’S GREATEST STRAWBERRY 
FROST-PROOF, PRODUCTIVE AND DEPENDABLE 

Premier, America’s Most Popular Berry. 
DORSETT 
THE BERRY SUPREME 
One of The Best of The Recently Introduced Berries. 
Proving the Ideal Commercial Berry, Combining 
Vigorousness, Productiveness and Quality. 
Released for introduction by the U. 8S. Department of 
Agriculture spring of 1933. The Dorsett surely makes a 
worthy companion for the Fairfax as each of them seem 
to have their advantages. The foliage of Dorsett re- 
sembles that of Blakemore to some extent, apparently 
not being as vigorous as Fairfax but equally as resist- 
ant to diseases. The foliage and fruiting stems are 
more erect than Premier and it is a free plant maker. 
The fruit is usually conic in shape. The color is bright 
red similar to Blakemore. The berries will average 
much larger than Blakemore although not quite so large 
as Fairfax. The flavor of Dorsett is not equal to Fair- 
fax but superior to other Early berries and can be 
classed among the best. The Dorsett is not as firm as 
the Fairfax but is equal to Premier so should be a good 
commercial variety because of its productiveness, at- 
tractive color, and excellent quality for an early berry. 
STARBRIGHT 
(U. S. D. A. 2120) 
FIRMNESS, BEAUTY, HIGH QUALITY, SIZE MAKES 
STARBRIGHT ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTAND- 
ING BERRIES OF RECENT INTRODUCTION 
Starbright is a cross of Fairfax and Chesapeake and 
has been under test since 1933 and during the last two 
years has dominated all other berries ripening between 
Fairfax and Chesapeake. The plants are vigorous and 
healthy with strong crowns. Makes much better fruit- 
ing beds than Chesapeake. The berries are large, hold 
up well all through the fruiting season. Berries have 
bright glossy color, lighter color than Fairfax, are very 
firm and have very high quality. Where beauty and 
quality is a principal factor on your markets you 
should try Starbrigbt. Reommended for planting from 
Virginia to southern New England and central western 
area.

No strawberry ever introduced has brought the re- 
turns to the grower that the Premier has, and it still 
stands unchallenged as a real money-maker. It has a 
record very hard to equal as an early market berry, and 
we cannot say too many good things about it. Consid- 
er these important facts about Premier and you can 
readily understand why we say this about it. Until the 
introduction of the Blakemore it had no equal as a va- 
riety that would adapt itself to most all soil and eli- 
matic conditions, whether the soil was sandy, clay 
loam or rocky, whether it was planted in North Car- 
olina, Mass., or Ill., you always had an abundance of 
new plants that were thrifty and disease free. The land 
did not have to be rich. Of course, it will do better on 
good soils, but even on comparatively poor soil Prem- 
ier always makes a showing for you. It can be con- 
sidered almost frost-proof. 1t has never failed in a crop 
in this section since it was introduced. The berries av- 
erage large and hold well under heavy crops and 
unfavorable seasonable conditions; it ripens over a com- 
paratively long period, from two to three weeks: the 
berries have an attractive bright red color and unusual 
quality that is only surpassed by Chesapeake and possi- 
bly Red Gold. It is moderately firm and will carry 
well to markets up to three hundred miles and further 
if handled properly. It is the best of the tried and 
proven early varieties. As an assurance of next year’s 
income, plant an acre or more of Bountiful Ridge grown 
PREMIER this spring.

to be the same as Premier. 
FAIRFAX 
ARISTOCRATIC RIVAL OF THE DORSETT 
They Are Truly Magnificent—Examples of Pro- 
duetiveness and Wonderful Quality 
Released for introduction by the U. 8S. Department of 
Agriculture spring of 1933 we predicted the Fairfax to 
be a great success and it has fulfilled our prediction. 
It has proved all that has been claimed for it and no 
grower of strawberries can afford to be without them. 
The foliage and fruit stems extend well above the 
ground which tends to give clean fruit and make the 
fruit more uniform. The Fairfax ripens about the same 
time as Premier, and its fruiting season extends over 
a long period. The quality of the Fairfax is equal to 
the best of our older varieties. The berries are large 
to very large, of a bright red color at picking time. 
Like the Bellmar it turns dark after being picked for 
several days but retains its flavor and firmness. The 
polisas should be planted for both home and commere- 
ial use. 

One of the many fine strawberry fields in the great 
strawberry sections of Columbia and Dutchess County, 
N. ¥., grown from Bountiful Ridge plants. Good plants 
properly grown, dug and handled, plus careful cultivat- 
ion is the keynote of success. Beds such as these should 
and will produce heavy crops of fine large fruit.
