Whiteside Co., 111., Mar. 5, 1949. I am enclosing an order with this for some more Fairfax berry plants. You, no doubt, 
have received orders from friends of mine for this same berry plant. They are good enough to talk about. Some of my friends 
have sampled my berries and they are fine. Dick W. Bos 
Marion Co., lnd., Feb. 15, 1949. On our first bearing of last Fairfax plants I purchased from you we had 105 quarts of 
jumbo size beautiful berries. Mrs. J. A. Gilson 
Harrison Co., Ohio, March 17, 1949. I have been getting my berry plants from you for sometime and find you to be an 
honest firm and I have confidence in you. I always have more orders for Fairfax berries than I can possibly fill. 
Oval Richter 
McKean Co., Penna., March 21, 1949. From 50 Fairfax plants I ordered from you about two years ago, the first year I 
picked over 100 quarts. They bore early and late. Wonderful! j ohn 
UICCIAM A DV Leading berry in Florida and popular

will do well on almost all soils, but will do better than most on 
the lighter soil types. The berries are medium in size, dark red 
in color, rather tart quality and attractive in appearance. It is a 
very good shipper, and is also a favorite with the "cold pack" 
or "juice" man. Price list, page 31.

and northern states for many years. It is an extremely vigorous 
grower, making lots of plants which are very productive. Berries 
are medium in size, a bright rich red clear through, and of good 
quality. One of the best for canning. The hardiness of Dunlap 
plants makes the variety a favorite where the cold winters injure 
weaker kinds. Canada, Maine, Iowa, Minnesota are among the 
places where Dunlap is appreciated. We have some good plants 
but the supply is rather limited. Price, list, page 31. 
if I iiaqp Strictly a berry for a part of the south — 
rVLV^rMmVjKC the lower part of the Gulf states, Florida, 
and the Eastern coast area of Georgia. A cross of Klondyke and 
Blakemore, light in color, uniform in shape, attractive in appear- 
ance, and firm enough to ship anywhere. In the regions indi- 
cated Klonmore is much better in quality and is said to be more 
productive than Blakemore, Klondyke or Missionary. Perhaps a 
southern shipping berry of high quality will result in greater 
consumption and better prices for southern berry growers. It is 
worth trying in the region indicated. Price list, page 3 1 . 
TENNESSEE 
SHIPPER 
Originated at the Tennessee Experiment Station a 
few years ago, it is a cross of Missionary and Blake- 
more, the plants making an ample fruit bed with a 
very vigorous growth, setting less plants but larger 
stronger ones than Blakemore. The plants are quite 
productive and berries very attractive. Tennessee 
Shipper is probably the firmest variety grown and the 
berries rate high for commercial freezing and pro- 
cessing. In Tennessee and Kentucky it is making a 
great record and is well worth trying in regions where 
Blakemore is widely grown. Reports indicate that with 
some growers it is replacing Blakemore. We like it so 
well here in Maryland that we have planted two acres 
for fruiting in addition to our plant stock. Tennessee 
Shipper is a variety patented by the University of 
Tennessee. We can sell you Tennessee Shipper 
plants with the understanding that you may grow all 
you choose for your own use but not for sale to 
others. Price list, page 31.

seedling released in 
1941. It makes a 
vigorous growth, 
berries are firm, 
light, similar to 
Blakemore in ap- 
pearance, but 
larger and of much 
better quality. May- 
time is the earliest 
of all varieties and 
where tried has 
generally done well 
in the middle states 
from the Atlantic 
Seaboard as far 
west as Missouri. 
Well worth trying.
