A LEADER ON THE Sd/dly. MARKET 



rhe annual rise in sales of Fairfax has been 

 iteady and sensational. No doubt much of this 

 iuccess is due to the tough skin texture and 

 :onsequent good shipping characteristics. Even 

 luring the dry weather and droughts of Spring 

 .936, Fairfax produced crops far above the 

 iverage. The fine, sturdy appearance, ex- 

 :eptional firmness, and high dessert qualities 

 lave made Fairfax famous since its introduc- 

 ion. We earnestly recommend that you devote 

 i good portion of your acreage to Fairfax, 

 ;hus insuring yourself a good crop of straw- 

 >erries, regardless of weather conditions. All 



of Townsend's Select Strain Fairfax are Double 

 Inspected and State Certified, recognized by 

 leading berry-growers as the heaviest yielding 

 strain grown. Let us reserve some of these 

 plants for you. Will ship whenever you are 

 ready to plant. 



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 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 

 favorably with Dorsett and Premier. It 

 probably 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 are 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 Fruit-Large to extra large being 

 very uniform. Makes an attractive package 

 which has always brought top market prices.
