FAIRPEAKE 



TOPS IN FLAVOR 



LARGE IN SIZE 



EVERY home garden as well as farm should have Fairpeake 

 strawberries growing. A cross of the top flavor berry Fair- 

 fax and Chesapeake, an old favorite l?.te variety, we be- 

 lieve that Fairpeake has taken the place of Chesapeake as a top 

 quality late variety, for most growers. We recommend Fair 

 peake for a new top quality strawberry.

RHUBARB 



^McDonald— You'll want some of 

 this new, early producing, red, sweet 

 rhubarb. Originated in Canada, McDon- 

 ald outyields most other varieties. Milder 

 to the taste, McDonald produces stalks 

 two feet tall that are red all the way 

 down. 



^CANADA RED— This colorful rhu- 

 barb, a cherry red along the entire length 

 of the stalk, was originated in Canada, 

 and the stalks are so tender that they 

 need no peeling when cooked. The stalks 

 are extra large and less acid and better 

 flavored than most varieties. 



^ MYATTS LINNAEUS— An early va- 

 riety possessing a tangy flavor making it 

 admirably suited for pies and sauce. Pro- 

 duces big crops of large tender stalks.
