A LEADER 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 



Note these Features 



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 w^onderful 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 

 favorably with Dorsett and Premier. It 

 probably wall 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— TYiQ 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 during dry seasons. 

 It will make a good fruiting bed in most all 

 types of soils and climates, and is being 

 planted by berry growers over a wide area 

 of the U.S.A. 



Size of Frwii— Large to extra large and being 

 very uniform. Makes an attractive package 

 which has always brought top market prices.
