Dorsett and Fairfax 
Highest Quality—Largest Size of 
any of the early season Strawberries 
Dorsett is the early variety surpassing Premier in 
quality and production. 

Fairfax is supreme in quality—a flavor you can’t 
forget. Berries intense bright red, with waxen luster 
and are outstanding for the home garden and local 
market. 
° (PER.) The Premier is one of the most 
Premier popular varieties that we offer and it 
well deserves all the praise that can be given it. 
1. Premier is the first to ripen. 
2. Fruit large size and deep red color. 
3. Firm flesh and excellent quality. 
4. Heavy yielder and makes thrifty growth. 
5. You can depend on Premier for a good crop when 
other varieties are a failure. 
Catskill An outstanding midseason variety in- 
troduced by the New York Agric. Ex- 
periment Station and well stands at the top as a late 
midseason variety of large size berries, heavy yields 
and a sure cropper. The large bright red berries are 
most attractive even though not as fine a finish as 
some of the early varieties. Quality equal to Premier, 
ripens in midseason and continues through the late 
picking period. 
S arkle This new variety ripens after Catskill, 
p thus extending the strawberry season 
with quality berries to the last. It has all of those 
good characters you want in a variety for table and 
culinary use, so it ranks “‘Tops’’ for home planting. 
The berries are good medium size, most attractive, 
slightly dark red in color, and with a glossy finish 
almost like they were varnished. Sparkle has much 
the quality of Fairfax (one of its parents) and is an 
excellent freezing variety, ranking above most others 
for this purpose. The plants are vigorous and make 
an abundance of runners.

NEW ROBINSON 
(Scarlet Beauty) 
Berries Large as Golf Balls 
Honey Sweet Flavor 
The New Robinson is an early mid-season berry 
following Premier by about 5-7 days. Here is a 
new variety originating in the commercial fruiting 
section of Michigan that is gaining favor by leaps 
and bounds for both home and market. This popu- 
larity is well deserved because of its wide adapta- 
bility and habit of making a better plant row than 
Premier, because of its fruitfulnmess (almost half 
again as many as other standard varieites), and its 
very large attractive berries—which, of course, 
bring. top prices on the market. One large grower 
has acclaimed, ‘‘These (Robinson) berries in all 
respects are the finest we have had in the past 
twenty years.” 
ROBINSON is a berry that rates as “Tops’’ in 
large size, true bright red Strawberry color, and as 
fine quality berry as you have ever tasted.
