FAIRFA 



The 

 finest 

 Garden 

 Berry 



For quality we feel that Fairfax is without equal. Few can forget the taste treat 

 which Fairfax provides and where ever a customer can buy strawberries by variety 

 name Fairfax is a favorite. The berries average large in size, many of the first berries 

 being fan shaped, with later ones round and sometimes quite pointed. The berries 

 are firm, being as solid as Blakemore, and have a bright red color when they first 

 ripen. They darken on holding, sometimes becoming almost purple, which is not 

 favored on wholesale markets. The size, beauty and quality of Fairfax make it an 

 outstanding berry for retail markets where quality as well as appearance is con- 

 sidered. Fairfax berries should be picked closely, especially in commercial settings. 

 If picking is neglected the bright red berries mixed with the dark berries which 

 have been ripe for several days present a mottled appearance. 



Fairfax is a moderately heavy producer but yields of up to 8,000 quarts per acre can be 

 obtained under good conditions. Fairfax ripens early in the southern and middle states but 

 becomes midseason or later when it is grown as far north as New York State. Fairfax is well 

 adapted from Virginia northward. Every garden should include this delicious treat. Price list

FAIRFAX FANS 



Washington Co., Ind. March 21, 1962. "Just want you to know how well pleased we were with 

 the Fairfax and Tenn. Beauty plants which we purchased in April, 1960. We never did raise 

 such lovely berries before and the neighbors thought the berries looked just like they were 

 pictured in your catalog." R. ROUTLE 



Jefferson Co., Ohio. Jan. 14, 1962. "I would just like to express my thoughts of your wonderful 

 plants. I have never seen such beautiful and healthy plants in my life and they produce 

 remarkably well. I never have to worry about selling the berries; usually I do not have enough 

 for all my customers. So I am placing my order again this year for the Fairfax and Catskill. 

 They are like money in the bank, which it is at the end of the season." CHARLES H. ONEACRE, 

 JR. 



DORSETT 



Dorsett is a high quality berry which has 

 many good points and a few bad ones. 

 Dorsett ranks about with Premier in plant 

 growth and production. It is superior to Pre- 

 mier in attractiveness and firmness. The qual- 

 ity of Dorsett is much better than Premier, in 

 fact is surpassed only by Fairfax. The bad 

 points of Dorsett are that it is susceptible to 

 frost injury and it is hard to make all the 

 blossoms set fruit. To help overcome these 

 things avoid frosty sites, don't over-fertilize 

 the row making it too dense, and don't let 

 the plants become too thick in the row. 



Certified virus free plants of Dorsett are 

 not yet available but our present stock grows 

 freely and makes an excellent fruiting row.

SENATOR DUNLAP 



A fine old variety that has been grown 

 in the middle and northern states for many 

 years. As one of our customers for many 

 years from Washington County, Minn., writes: 

 "After about 60 years of raising strawberries 

 we are still looking for one to replace the 

 Dunlap. We know there are better berries 

 and we have tried dozens of others but they 

 do not seem to click with our winters and 

 soils." It is an extremely vigorous grower, 

 making lots of plants which are very pro- 

 ductive. Berries are medium in size, a bright 

 rich red clear through and of good quality. 

 One of the best for canning. Canada, Maine, 

 Iowa and Minnesota are among the places 

 where Dunlap is appreciated. We have a 

 limited number of good Dunlap plants this 

 season. Price list page 32.
