A . ON THE 
The annual rise in sales of Fairfax has been 
steady and sensational. No doubt much of this 
success is due to the tough skin texture and 
consequent good shipping characteristics. 
Even during the dry weather and droughts of 
Spring 1936, Fairfax produced crops far above 
the average. The fine, sturdy appearance, ex- 
ceptional firmness, and high dessert qualities 
have made Fairfax famous since its introduc- 
tion. We earnestly recommend that you devote 
a good portion of your acreage to Fairfax, 
thus insuring yourself a good crop of straw- 
berries, regardless of weather conditions. All 
Season of Ripening—Fairfax ripens about the 
same time as Premier. In some few sections 
two or three days later. 
Quality is an outstanding point with FAIR- 
FAX. Its firmness and wonderful flavor make 
it ideal for commercial marketing or home 
consumption. It is without question one of 
the finest eating berries on the market. 
Production—The yield of Fairfax compares 
favorable with Dorsett and Premier. It prob- 
ably will not set as much fruit as these two 
varieties, however it makes up in yield with 
the size. In the number of crates picked per 
acre it yields with the best. 
Vigorous Grower—The foliage and root system 
of Fairfax is extremely vigorous. Foliage is a 
dark green of strong growth protecting berries 
from hot suns during the harvest season. Its 
root system is long and fibrous which accounts 
for Fairfax giving a good crop of berries dur- 
ing dry seasons. It will make a good fruiting 
bed in most all types of soil and climates, and 
is being planted by berry growers over a wide 
area of the U.S. A. 
Size of Fruit—Large to extra large and being 
very uniform. Makes an attractive package 
which has always brought top market prices.
