FAIRFAX = QUALITY 
FAIRFAX — 
Finest 
Quality Ever, 
For sheer eating enjoyment Fairfax is the best strawberry in the world. Again this year we have 
more enthusiastic letters about Fairfax quality than anything else. Typical are these three. 
"Fairfax is indispensable — the best quality strawberry ever introduced." Charles C. Gollow, Isle of Wight Co.. 
Virginia. March 27, 1950. 
"Fairfax wonderful. There couldn't be another berry like it." Emily M. Swogger, Geauga Co., Ohio. March 7, 1950. 
"Fairfax berries were huge, things of beauty to look at and so pleasing to the palate." Mrs. Helen M. Fey, Nassau Co., 
N. Y. Feb. 4, 1950. 
WHAT MAKES FAIRFAX GROWERS SO ENTHUSIASTIC? 
Superb quality of berries — the best in the 
world. 
Finest roadside market berry, because qual- 
ity counts there. 
Highest prices per quart — a taste makes a 
sale wherever a sample is given. 
Beauty of berries catches the eye of con- 
sumer — selling made easy. 
Dark color (objectionable on wholesale mar- 
kets, becomes a mark of quality for retail 
trade). 
Berries are large with first berries very 
large and showy. 
Fairfax berries are very firm, just as solid as 
Blakemore. If not too wet, berries will keep for 
days even after they become almost purple in 
color. 
Excellent for freezing, especially home 
freezing or small consumer package freezing 
where dark color becomes a mark of quality. 
Beautiful foliage growth — most popular of 
all for decorative planting. 
Vigorous plant growth, usually making 
enough for a fine fruiting row without big sur- 
plus of runners to bother with. 
Plants heavy bearers, not always as pro- 
ductive as Premier and Catskill, but 5,000 qts. 
or more per acre not unusual. 
Widely adapted — profitable all through the 
middle and northern states. 
Don't delay ordering your Fairfax plants. You will be a Fairfax booster, too, once you grow and see 
and taste them. We have a less than normal supply but they are big, strong, well-rooted plants.

Westchester Co., N. Y., March 6, 1950. Where I am now 
living, I have only about 10 feet of ground, but I must have some 
of the Allen Fairfax strawberries, the Fairfax two years ago were 
wonderful and are still growing inNew Jersey. 
Mrs. A. M. Gilbert 
Ashland Co., Ohio, March 3, 1950 You may tell your 
customers for me that Fairfax is really and truly tops in straw- 
berries for flavor and my experience has been that it is about 
average in yield with all other varieties. 
W. R. Witt 
Henry Co., Ky., March 7, 1950. Everyone that sees my 
Fairfax and Catskill berries say they are the finest they have 
ever seen. 
John A. Hornsby 
Washington Co., Pa., March 13, 1950. I have been a 
Fairfax grower for many years and they are the best of any 
kind I have tried. 
David Keene 
Upshur Co., W. Va., April 3, 1950. I ordered 1,500 Fairfax 
plants from you in 1947 and I won second prize at the West 
Virginia Central Strawberry Festival in 1948, and set out plants 
from these and won first prize in 1949.
