FAIRFAX 



Dependable New Early Variety 



Originated by the United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture and is destined to 

 become a favorite berry after it is better 

 known. Those who have had the privilege 

 of eating this berry are wildly enthusiastic 

 about it and say its eating qualities are far 

 superior to any other strawberry. Ripens 

 same time as Premier. 



Produces Bumper Crops 



Fairfax is a heavy plant maker and pro- 

 duces bumper crops of large berries. It is 

 one of the most productive strawberries 

 grown and is establishing a record-breaking 

 sale in the markets. 



Supreme In Quality 



Color is a deep full red, its rich sweet 

 flavor brings buyers back for more. Fairfax 

 berries are exceptionally firm, making it an 

 ideal shipper. Superior to all for home use, 

 equal to any for commercial planting. 



BIG JOE 



Best Midseason Berry Grown 



It is a worthy companion for Dorsett, Fair- 

 fax and Premier, the best early berries, and 

 Chesapeake the best late. When grown for 

 local or nearby markets where the shipping 

 distance is not too great. Big Joe is one of 

 the best moneymakers. 



Large Yield — Fancy Fruit 



Big Joe is a heavy producer of large bril- 

 liant red berries of extra fine flavor and is 

 firm enough to withstand long shipments. 

 The plants are good growers and heavy 

 yielders. This variety succeeds on all types 

 of soil but does extra well when given good 

 cars and fertility. Be. sure to include some 

 Big Joe in your planting this spring. 



FAIRFAX 



Aberdeen, Midseason. A strong, vigorous grower, 

 under favorable conditions a very heavy yielder. 

 Fruit is only of fair quality, being somewhat acid. 

 Berry is larger than average, and fruit is light in 

 color which makes up a very attractive crate. 



PREMIER 



King of the Early Berries 



Too well known to need much description. 

 The standard early berry by which all other 

 varieties are judged. Holds all records for 

 Big Crops and Big Profits. Premier has 

 filled more crates, made more dollars and 

 brought joy to more strawberry growers than 

 any other variety ever grown. 



Adapted to All Soils — Heavy Yielder 



It thrives on most any type of soil and is a 

 rampant plant maker. Premier fruits extra 

 early when berries are selling at a high 

 price. It is a big yielder of big bright red 

 berries of fine flavor. For home garden, 

 local market, or for shipping moderate dis- 

 stances it has outclassed all the older 

 varieties. 



PREMIER 



LATE STRAWBERRIES 



Aroma. Clean, healthy, hardy growing plants, 

 does well on most soils. Fruit large, deep 

 red, excellent quality for home use or mar- 

 ket. 



Gandy. The favorite late berry in many 

 localities. Large size and handsome appear- 

 ance make it command highest prices on 

 the market. Not quite as productive as 

 some of the other berries, but its appear- 

 ance and quality offset this. Good for 

 either home use or commercial plantings. 



LUPTON. A good late variety, large, hand- 

 some, attractive berry commanding good 

 prices on the markets. It is similar to 

 Chesapeake in many ways and is not quite 

 so particular about its soil requirements. A 

 favorite in many localities. 



Wm. Belt. An extra good quality late berry 

 for home use or market. Its flavor is ex- 

 traordinarily good, the berries are medium, 

 to large size, ideal for home use.
