• ANOTHER RED-STELE RESISTANT VARIETY PROMISING 

 HIGH PRODUCTION AND GOOD FREEZING QUALITY 



FAIRLAND is the latest introduction of the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture. Tested as U.S.-3205, this Aberdeen - Fairfax cross promises to merit the 

 wide acclaim that has been accorded Temple, a cross of the same parentage. 



FAIRLAND is proving adaptable in Premier growing areas as far north as Ver- 

 mont and Michigan and south to Virginia, west to Oklahoma and Missouri. Tests 

 have shown FAIRLAND more productive than Temple, Catskill and Premier in 

 some areas. 



We are privileged to offer FAIRLAND in limited quantities this year, and we 

 would suggest trial plantings throughout the areas to which adapted. 



Very Vigorous — Produces runner plants very freely. Large leaves deep green and cupped. Healthy 

 foliage is usually free of leaf spot and scorch. 



Frost Resistant — Flower stalks are short so that the flowers are well protected against frosts by 

 the leaves. 



Bed-stele Resistant — Tests show it may be considered sufficiently resistant to the disease in all 

 except the most adverse conditions. 



Briglit Red Berries — Size up with Premier; ripen uniformly with glossy finish and yellow to red 

 seeds complete its beauty. Dessert quality good with slight tartness and aroma. 



Good Freezer, Shipper — Not up to Midland in freezing quality, but far above average. A bit less 

 firm than Temple.
