DRESDEN 
Dresden was a crop failure with me last year, and I plan to 
eliminate it after this spring. For those of you who plant Dresden and 
get good results, I will have a few plants available. 
DORSE ET 
Dorsett is an old favorite, and since its introduction in 1933 has 
become one of the leading early varieties in the East. Dorsett is a 
vigorous plant maker doing best on a moist soil, but on a too rich 
soil will produce too many plants to give a good yield. The fruit is 
large, of medium light red color, being slightly firmer than Premier. 
MIDLAND 
A new early variety released in 1944 for introduction by the 
United States Department of Agriculture. Midland is recommended 
for trial from Virginia to Southern New England. It is a vigorous 
grower, making plenty of plants, quite productive and ripening early, 
about with Premier. The berries are of excellent quality, better than 
Premier but not as good as Dorsett and Fairfax, being quite tart. 
Slightly raised bright red and yellow seeds, with shiny skin makes the 
berries very attractive. This seems to be one of the coming varieties. 
MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
FAIRFAX 
This variety is outsanding for its high quality and large size, 
but is rather shy in production, especially when grown in a matted 
row system. Fairfax is very dark in color but because of its excellent 
quality is finding favor as a special market berry and for home use. 
I cannot recommend this berry for commercial planting but it is 
ideal for a home garden, or for a roadside stand catering to a high 
class trade.
