Dorsett is a garden strawberry cultivar promoted in 1937 as an extra early, self-pollenizing berry for northern planting. The Fruit Growers Service Co. catalog describes it as a newer strawberry from the United States Department of Agriculture and as an offspring of Premier. [S1]
The catalog describes Dorsett as a heavy cropper with excellent quality and strong shipping value. Its plants were strong and healthy, with deep roots and enough vigor to set a heavy crop and carry it to maturity with good size and finish. [S1]
The fruit is described mainly by its market traits. Dorsett had firm flesh and skin, did not bruise easily, and kept a clear, bright red color after several days or after long-distance shipping. The source says its firmness, quality, and rich color made it valuable for market growers. It sold 50 cents to $1.00 per crate above common strawberries and brought repeat business. [S1]
Dorsett was promoted for both home and market planting. The catalog says it had moved ahead for either use, and its 1937 price list shows it offered among certified strawberry plants in the same nursery section. [S1]
No direct hardiness zone evidence is given. Its cold-climate relevance comes from its inclusion in a catalog for hardy fruits for northern planting and from the surrounding strawberry section for northern growers. [S1]
Dorsett is treated here as a Fragaria garden strawberry cultivar. The only parentage directly given by the source is that it was an offspring of Premier. The available evidence gives no sibling, descendant, or species-level pedigree. [S1]
