Monroe Co., N. Y., Jan. 25, 1946. Thank you for your 

 1946 catalogue and in it I notice that the Fairfax is 

 King. This caused an outburst of laughter in our home, 

 so amusing I decided to tell you about it. My ten year 

 old son, George, is called that by his friends, only he 

 is recognized by a sailor hat instead of a crown upon 

 his head. If was the Fairfax berries harvested from 

 plants purchased from you that brought him his glory. 

 I have been setting out a bed of your plants for 

 several years, the Catskill rank second in my estima- 

 tion. The summer of 1945 we gathered 165 quarts 

 from an original planting of 125 plants. We live in 

 the suburbs and are just a block away from the main 

 highway. It got to be a familiar sight to see my son 

 pulling .a red cart, loaded with trays of berries. He 

 always had a dozen or more of his "gang" forming a 

 grand march behind him singing, "Here comes the 



King, the Berry King." It would only take him an 

 hour to sell my surplus berries to passing motorists 

 from Rochester. In this easy manner he earned $30.00 

 for a two weeks stay at a boys' camp and enough 

 more to take care of his spending money throughout 

 the school year. This comes at a time of the year that 

 does not interfere with his school work and it is so 

 much easier than shoveling snow or delivering papers, 

 such as the other youngsters do. He always filled his 

 boxes nicely and put a fan-shaped one such as you 

 describe on top. He received 50c a quart and had 

 many repeat orders. Incidently, the berries in just a 

 few years have paid for the lot we purchased t9 plant 

 them on. We expect to gather 500 quarts this season. 

 Enclosed please find a list of friends who I know will 

 be happy to receive your catalogue.

Just because Fairfax is the supreme Garden Berry — don't overlook it as a Money- 

 maker. Fairfax has what it takes to bring Repeat Orders — and to command Profit- 

 able Prices. 



We have the finest lot of Fairfax plants we have ever grown. Let some of them 

 go to work for you. Price list, page 31. 



TENNESSEE SHIPPER 



A new variety (Missionary X Blakemore) originated 

 at Term. Aqr. Exp. Sta. An early, pointed, attractive 

 and veiy firm berry introduced as a shipper. With us 

 it is a very vigorous grower, making less plants but 

 larger ones than Blakemore, quite productive, and very 

 good looking. We like Tennessee Shipper very much 

 but the berries with us run a little too small to com- 

 pete with Midland. In Tennessee and Kentucky it is 

 making a great record. Well worth a try in regions that 

 have Blakemore and Aroma as leading kinds. Rated 

 very high as a berry for freezing. Tennessee Shipper 

 is a variety patented by the University of Tennessee. 

 We can sell you Tennessee Shipper plants only with 

 the understanding that you are not to propogate them 

 for sale to others. Price list, page 31. 



^I^^^^AMMCC A new berry originated (Mis- 

 sionary X Premier) by the U 

 S. D. A. Very early very free grower and very fine 

 quality. Considered the best home garden berry the 

 southern states have pver had. The picture shows the 

 berries rather long and pointed fairly light and very 

 attractive. Suwannee is the lead-off kind in Dixie 

 Garden Collections (page 5). It should not be left out 

 of any southern states berry garden! Price list, page 31 



MISSIONARY ^®^^^^9 '^^"y *" Florida 

 and popular in other south- 

 ern states. Missionary will do well on almost all soils, 

 but will do belter 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. Piice list, page 31. 



SOUTHLAND '^"*^*^®'' ^^^^ quality early 

 berry for the south. Very 

 strong robust plants, very productive, berries large, 

 round, light in color and very attractive. Has done well 

 in many sections of the south from North Carolina to 

 Texas. Price list, page 31. L. /
