ON THE EARLY MARKET 



COMMERCIAL strawberry growers in most all berry sections 

 are buying more and more Fairfax. The tough skin tex- 

 ture gives Fairfax an unusually fine shipping adaptability. We consider it a really worthwhile 

 early variety that will make good profits for you. During the dry weather and droughts of the 

 Spring 1936, Fairfax withstood the unfavorable growing conditions remarkably well, producing 

 crops far above the average, in some cases 

 even exceeding all previous records for yield. 

 The fine appearance, exceptional firmness, and 

 high dessert qualities have been outstanding 

 in Fairfax since introduction. We most earn- 

 estly suggest that you devote a good portion 

 of your acreage to Fairfax, thus insuring 

 yourself of a good crop of berries, regardless 

 of weather conditions.

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 

 makes 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 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 Fruit— Large to extra large and being 

 very uniform. Makes an attractive package 

 which has always brought top market prices.
