DORSETT AMAZING CROPS OF BEAUTIFUL BERRIES WHEN CLIMATE AND CONDITIONS ARE RIGHT As many as Premier! And such berries! They are larger, firmer and far better in quality than Premier. In fact, Dorsett is the most delicious of all berries except Fairfax and some think it even equals Fairfax. The berries are very beautiful, too-—-a bright rich red, which darkens very little on holding. Our records show that Dorsett has been the most profitable early berry we have ever had, al- though Blakemore is grown more generally in this section. Where Dorsett is to be shipped some dis- tance it should be kept picked fairly close and shipped direct to market. Dorsett is not a favorite with auction buyers at shipping point, but where it is well grown it sells with the best on either wholesale or retail markets. Dorsett prefers a climate not too severe. From the latitude of North Carolina and Tennessee to Southern New England, or slightly further North in protected locations, Dorsett is superb. Under severe conditions of frost and cold, Dorsett just can't "take it" like Premier, Fairfax and Catskill. Dorsett too vigorous? Individual plants of Dorsett from a well set row are not always as robust as Fairfax and some others, but when set early under even fairly good conditions, Dorsett makes a truly remarkable growth. Too many plants are likely to be made. If they are limited to four to eight plants per square foot of fruiting row, it will be easier for Dorsett to set a crop and the berries will be larger, prettier and better in quality. Why not include some Dorsett in your order this year? You may be one of the lucky ones who can grow it at its best. Price list, page 35,
