FAIRFAX 



THE BEST TO EAT OF ALL STRAWBERRIES 

 The One Essential Berry for Every Good Garden 



Year after year we get more enthusiastic letters from growers about Fairfax — 

 especially Fairfax qucdity — than any other one thing in our whole plant business. Here 

 are some of the things they write: 



"Fairfax quality is unbeatable." 



"A teuly wonderful berry." 



"We like Fairfax best." 



"Our neighbors preferred the Fairfax on account of their size and flavor." 



"We sold Fairfax at 50c per crate more than the other kinds." 



"My CTistomers won't have other varieties since I started growing Fairfax." 



"There's nothing in our garden as popular with the family as those two rows of Fairfax." 



IT ISN'T ALL TALK! Every year since 1932 when it was first introduced an increasingly large 

 percentage of our total sales have been Fairfax. Once known, they are always grown. 



In addition to its superlative quality, there are lots of other good things about Fairfax, which have helped 

 to make it, next to Premier, the most widely grown early berry in all the northern and central states. The 

 plant growth, for instance, is just as healthy as Premier and somewhat more vigorous. It makes larger euid 

 stronger plants but not quite so many of them. Plenty of plants are made for a good wide fruiting row but they 

 do not require much thinning unless the ground is very rich. 



It is interesting to note that when grown in Maryland or Virginia, Fairfax is strictly an early berry, 

 being only a day or two later than Premier, Blakemore and Dorsett. Farther North this slight difference in 

 the ripening date becomes greater so that in New York and New England Fairfax is almost a midseason 

 berry, not much earlier than Catskill. 



Fairfax berries are beauties. When first ready to pick they have a rich medium red color, resembling 

 Chesapeake at their best. They have fairly prominent golden-yellow seeds which help protect the berries 

 and add to their showiness.
