FAIRMORE 



This new berry is being tallced about! The rumor is getting around that 



FAIRMORE IS REALLY GOOD I 



In recent tests at the U. S. Horticulturad Field Station at Meridan, Mississippi, the Fairxnore 

 was reported to be outstanding. The pomologisi there said he saw no reason why it should not 

 eventually replace the Klondyke which is now grown almost exclxisively in that section. He added 

 that one of the larger and better growers there had tested Faimnore himsel£ and was so impressed 

 that he expected to set from 10,000 to 20,000 plants of Fairmore this winter. 



In a letter dated June 8, 1942, Mr. Harold M. Gilbert of Tallapoosa Co., Alabama 

 wrote us, '*Last spring I ordered from you 100 strawberry plants including 25 Fairmore. 

 I picked 95 quarts of strawberries tbis spring. The Fairmore proved to be much the best. 

 75% of the berries came from tbem. On my Fairmore plants I believe the leaves are 12 

 inches high now". 



From Arkansas came another report. Mr. C. W. Martin of Jackson Co., Ark. who is 

 enthusiastic about Southland had this to say about Fairmore. **The Daybreak and Fairmore 

 plants you suggested I try turned out as follows. The Daybreak plants died as soon as 

 hot weather set in. The Fairmore did very well and the fruit was superior in quality to my 

 Faurfax. I think Fairmore should be grown in our White County Shipping center." 

 Fairmore is primarily a high quality berry for the Southern and lower middle states, but 

 in one trial in Michigan Mr. C. Fairman of Charlevoix Co. said that "Fairmore proved to be 

 frost proof and a heavy yielder, although it lacked flavor here." 



ABOUT FAIRMORE 



fine start for any new berry. 



FACTS 



1 . It is a cross of Fairfax and Blakemorc 



2. In plant growth it is about as vigorous as Bledsemore — making fewer plants but larger and 

 stronger ones. 



3. The berries are very high in quality, resembling Fairfax in flavor. 



4. While good enough in quality for any market, the firm flesh and tough skin enables Fairmore 

 berries to stand shipment in fine shape. 



5. A deep rich red and prominent yellow seeds makes the berries very attractive. Liike Fairfax they 

 turn dark on holding. 



6. Originated in North Carolina by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and selected for adaption to 

 that climate. Well worth trying all over the South and as far North as Washington, D. C.
