but the leaves are generally a little 

 larger, more cupped, and a deeper green 

 color. Plenty of plants are made for 

 a good fruiting bed in most cases and 

 on very rich land some restriction of 

 runners may be helpful after a well 

 spaced row has been formed. 



As with Dorsett, Fairfax gets its 

 wonderful quality from its Royal Sov- 

 ereign parent. From Premier, the 

 other parent, Fairfax gets health and 

 vigor of plant growth, productiveness 

 and a large amount of hardiness. 



Fairfax can be grown in all parts of 

 the country. It is not quite as hardy 

 as Premier, but many growers in Maine 

 and other northern states are having 

 fine results with it. One, grower (see 

 page 26) in New York State reports 

 over $1,000.00 per acre last year and 

 says that Fairfax is the one and only 

 berry for him. All through the middle 



states Fairfax is fine. Most growers 

 agree with Mr. W. H. Baird of Grant 

 Co., Ind., who writes, "We have found 

 Fairfax to be a wonderful berry." Each 

 year Fairfax shipped from North Caro- 

 lina to Philadelphia and New York 

 City top in price all other berries of 

 their season. Fairfax ripens only a 

 day or two later than Premier and 

 Dorsett in this section. Farther north 

 this difference is greater so that in New 

 York and New England it becomes al- 

 most a midseason variety. 



Fairfax is a heavy cropper. It is not 

 quite as heavy as Premier and Catskill 

 as a rule, but crops of 5,000 to 8,000 

 quarts per acre are not unusual. We 

 have obtained as many as 10,000 quarts 

 per acre on a small plot. 



Fairfax is so good to eat, so cer- 

 tain to grow and so easy to sell that 

 it should be in every berry garden, 

 profit plot or commer- 

 cial planting. We have 

 lots of fine plants of 

 Fairfax that will please 

 you and help you grow 

 it at its best. Price list,
