In 1932 when first introduced Dorsett had tremendous vigor and productiveness. The berries were large, very attractive, light in color, firmer than Premier and superb in quality, equalled only by Fairfax. Dorsett's one weakness is its in- ability to set a heavy crop under unfavorable conditions, due partly to the fact that it is a poor poUenizer and partly to its susceptibil- ity to frost injury. Frosty sites had to be avoided. This fact alone prevented Dorsett from replacing Premier in many sections. Three or four years ago Dorsett apparently became infected with virus trouble which reduced its vigor. Dorsett popularity reached its lowest ebb. In 1949 we obtained some plants from the University of Maryland certi- fied by the U. S, D. A. at Beltsville as being virus free. This stock from the first has had the original vigor of Dorsett stock and this year has made strong splendid looking plants. Growers who have known and liked Dorsett in previous years might find it well worth trying again. At its best it is hard to find a better variety than Dorsett.
