IRPEAKE 





*^^%» 



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 

 Fairfax and Chesapeake, an old favorite late variety, we 

 believe that Fairpeake has taken the place of Chesapeake as 

 a top quality late variety, for most growers. We recommend 

 Fairpeake for a new top quality strawberry. 



VIGOR — Strong vigorous grower producing big plants, with 

 large leaves. 



SIZE —VERY. VERY LARGE BERRIES, that are beauties. 



QUALITY — Tops in flavor, produces morethan Chesapeake. 



1RMNESS — Good shipper, sound berry. Like moist soil.

TO WNSEND'S STRAIN OF GANDY 



FAR AHEAD OF OLD STRAIN 



IN YIELDS AND QUALITY 



IN THE early days of Gandy, just after it was origin- 

 ated in New Jersey several years ago, its production 

 was not quite as good as has been expected. How- 

 ever, we soon remedied this situation by Townsend selec- 

 tion of our heaviest producing plants and using them 

 for propagating stock. As a result, the productive 

 capacity was more than doubled within a very short time. 

 The news of our sensational success spread like wildfire 

 and today our extensive planting of Gandy is one of the 

 largest in the United States. The fruit has always been 

 of good quality and now is really excellent. The quality, 

 size and shipping qualities have always met with in- 

 stantaneous success wherever Gandy has been introduced. 

 Berries are of wonderful quality, large to extra-large 

 in size; bright red with dark double green caps. Ripen- 

 ing usually takes place about two weeks after Premier 

 and Dorsett.
