*•» FAIRPEAKE 



(U.S.D.A. 2119) 



NEW LATE 

 From U.S.D.A. 



A cross of Chesa- 

 peake and Fairfax, 

 made in 1931 by 

 Dr. Geo. F. Waldo, 

 selected in 19 33. 

 These top ranking 

 parents have pro- 

 duced in Fairpeake 

 a truly remarkable 

 child. With peo- 

 ple that have test- 

 ed this seedling it 

 has become a fav- 

 orite ; in flavor, 

 which is delicious, 

 by some claimed to 

 be better than 

 Fairfax. Its beau- 

 tiful appearance, 



good size and firmness, combined with its productiveness, give it promise of a great future. 



This new late variety ripens right after Catskill. 



Berries — The berries are of good size, rich red in color, with a tough, glossy skin. Seed are raised, 

 firm texture, good shipping berry. 



Quality and Flavor — Fairpeake is a very sweet berry, with excellent dessert quality, ranking even 

 better than its parents. 



Growth — Fairpeake is resistant to leaf spot and scorch, growth is fairly vigorous, making a good 

 number of runner plants. 



Productiveness — For a late variety Fairpeake is a heavy producer but as it ripens late, coming in 

 right after Catskill, it should be planted in moist soil for best production. 



This is your opportunity to get a new late extra delicious berry, one you will be proud to offer your 

 trade, and which will surely bring you repeat orders. 



A limited supply of plants of this variety means you will have to order early to obtain any this 



spring. 



FAIRPEAKE— Beautiful, Delicious, Productive 



GANDY 



Long recognized as the leading extra late berry, fruit is med- 

 ium large, firm and attractive, slightly acid. Very productive 

 under favorable conditions. For those who have moist, springy 

 soil it is a profitable variety. Should be well fertilized for best results. Blooms very late, es- 

 caping late frosts. Plants vigorous and good plant makers, 

 thinning necessary on rich soil. 



PEARL

As a whole, this variety is very similar to Gandy. Both 

 are of the same season. Pearl is slightly more vigorous 

 and productive. The fruit too, is very similar, averag- 

 ing fairly large, light red, round conic, very uniform, 

 flavor slightly acid but not enough to be 

 objectionable. As is true of all very late 

 berries it is always best to plant them on 

 springy, moist soil. For best results, 

 Pearl should be well fertilized in the 

 spring before the growth starts in order 

 that they may mature their whole crop 

 of fruit. A fertilizer containing a liberal 

 amount of phosphoric acid and nitrogen, 

 and little or no potash, is our recom- 4 

 mendation. As Pearl is a prolific plant^ 

 maker, thinning is sometimes advisable 

 when planted on a rich soil or when 

 weather conditions are very favorable. 



Pearl Is Very Uniform and Attractive
