Finest Quality of all late Berries — Just as Good as Fairfax. 
FAIRPEAKE 
Fairpeake is strictly a quality berry. Some varieties, such as Premier, Cats- 
kill, Temple, Sparkle and Tennessee Beauty, are quantity producers mainly. 
While Fairpeake, like Fairfax, produces the finest quality eating berries in the 
world, it is not a heavy producer. However, we expect Fairpeake to become 
much more widely grown after its superb quality becomes more generally 
known. In our opinion the limiting factor in the use of Fairpeake is that it does 
not make plants freely except under favorable conditions. The plants that are 
made are big, healthy and robust but often not enough of them to produce a 
satisfactory yield. For the first year or two our Fairpeake fields made more plants 
than Chesapeake. However, our own later results, together with reports from 
other growers, indicate that it makes no more if as many plants as Chesapeake. 
This is especially true when compared to the free-growing strain of Chesapeake 
which we have had for the last few years. 
In productiveness Fairpeake is just about the same as Chesapeake, perhaps a little heavier in 
total crop produced wherever fruiting beds are equal. The berries of Fairpeake will average very large 
in size, just as large as Chesapeake. (See picture above J Fairpeake berries are very beautiful, not quite 
as evenly shaped as Chesapeake but just as pretty and with a somewhat more glossy skin. In firmness 
Fairpeake ranks high. It is firm enough to ship well. However, a berry of such high quality will 
probably be sold mostly in local or nearby markets where the extra quality will be more quickly 
recognized and an extra price obtained. 
Fairpeake is recommended for about the Premier territory. Its hardiness has not been fully proved 
but it is okay so far. It blooms so late the blossoms are really "hard to get." Like other late varieties 
Fairpeake should have a rich moist soil to get a good fruiting row and to bring out its wonderful 
possibilities. 
In home gardens and wherever quality is the first consideration Fairpeake should certainly be 
tried. Large commercial plantings should be avoided until smaller tests indicate how Fairpeake will 
behave under your conditions. Wherever Fairpeake fulfills its possibilities plantings will increase 
without any urging from us. Price list, page 31.
