Carroll Co.. Ind., Apr. 19. 1948. "Enclosed find order for Premier and Fairfax 
plants. If Premier are not available send Midland, but we sure want the Fairfax 
as they,* are fops to eat. We certainly have had lots of nice berries the last few 
years. In 1946 we picked over 300 quarts from 150 plants, one row each of 
Fairfax and Premier."- Carey Oyler. 
Mercer Co.. Ky.. May 24, 1948. "The strawberry plants bought from you are 
growing beautifully. I will want several thousand next year. I want to grow 
fancy berries for a local market and would like to know the length of time each 
variety will continue to bear. I am very much impressed with the Fairfax and 
Fairpeake."— r. S. Johnson 
Dodge Co.. Nebr.. Feb. 21, 1948. "Just to tell you I am well satisfied with your 
plants. Redstar and Fairpeake are fine, but Fairfax is my main crop and customers 
crowd."— O. E. Henning 
Wake Co.. N. C, Dec. 29, 1947. "Before I gave the Fairfax a trial I changed 
varieties several times. Now every time I get one of your new catalogs I first 
turn to the last page. List Page, to see if you have anything as good as the 
Fairfax. Since 1893 I have grown strawberries in five different localities in this 
state. It is fortunate that a variety of such excellence as Fairfax is adapted to a 
variety of soils." — C. L. Newman 
Fairfax is widely adapted in the section where Premier thrives (see Page 
8 ) . It is generally superior to Premier in the southern 
part of the "Premier territory" and perhaps not quite so 
rugged in the "roughest" of the northern areas. Never- 
theless, we frequently get letters from growers who find 
Fairfax very hardy and very productive, even as com- 
pared with Premier, Catskill and other varieties of 
"eskimo" hardiness. Price list, page 31.

The Big Grin 
TENNESSEE SHIPPER 
A new variety (Missionary X Blakemore) originated 
at Tenn. Agricultural Experiment Station. An early, 
pointed, attractive and very 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 compete 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 propagate them for sale to others.

KLONMORE 
Is strictly a berry for a part of the south — the lower 
part of the Gulf states, Florida, and the Eastern coast 
area of Georgia. A cross of Klondyke and Blakemore, 
light in color, uniform in shape, attractive in appear- 
ance, and firm enough to ship anywhere. In the 
regions indicated Klonmore is much better in quality 
and is said to be more productive than Blakemore, 
Klondyke or Missionary. Price list, page 31. 
SENATOR DUN LAP 
A fine old variety that has been grown in the 
Middle and Northern states for many years. It is an 
extremely vigorous grower, making lots of plants, 
which are very productive. Berries are medium in 
size, a bright rich red clear through, and of good 
quality. One of the best for canning. The hardiness 
of Dunlap plants makes the variety a favorite where 
the cold winters injure weaker kinds. Canada, Maine, 
Iowa, Minnesota are among the places where Dunlap 
is appreciated. Of this variety we have the largest 
and best stock in years. Here's the place to get your 
Dunlap plants. Price list, page 31. 
MISSIONARY 
Leading berry in Florida and popular in other South- 
ern states. Missionary will do well on almost all 
soils, but will do better 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. Price list, page 31. 
MAYTIME 
U. S. D. A. seedling released in 1941, is vigorous 
in growth and similar to Blakemore; berries firm, light, 
good quality. Earliest of all varieties; has done well 
in Maryland. Missouri, Pennsylvania and other areas. 
Well worth trying. Price list, page 31.
