quart. A record breaker— six berries filled a quart box— for which |io.oo was paid 
at our field lueetiug, June 15th, 1901. Make a fortune by growing giant strawber-

dred ami eighty Ooiii I’aul plants one single picking. The Ooin Paul is the larir"st

The Fairfield Strawberry. From New jersey. This variety is claimed 
to be very early and a great money maker. The most productive here on spring 
set plants. 
In the Sptinj^ of 1901 our attention was called to a new seedling strawberry 
grouing^ on I . Johnson s farm, and just as it was coninieiicing to ripen we made it 
a point to go and see the berry and plants. We were very much pleased with it and 
thought It a berry worthy of general distribution, and a valuable addition to the al- 
ready long list of Strawberries. But Mr. Johnson and I could not agree as he had 
long enjoyed a monopoly of this variety, he had let no one have any plants and the 
fruit was paying him much better than any of some dozen or twenty kbid’s grow- 
ing as he does from 2 oto 3 oacresofberries-andnotuntilthe 2 othof Deceiiiber 
1901, did we induce Mr. Johnson to give the plants general distribution And we 
have the introdncing of the berry. — Jntroducer. 
The Originator says: I have grown this berry for several vears, starting with 
one plant only, and have never seen any berry nearly its equal fo'r Earlincss, Larae 
Size, Productiveness, Color, Quality and Firmness. Out of about fifteen kinds 
covering twenty (20) acres this was far ahead of any as a money-maker Compari- 
son of prices with other berries cannot be made very well as they were all done ex- 
cept the very last picking when the others began to pick. It has a very strong fol- 
iage and has never shown any sign of rust. Has a large, perfect blo.ssoin It has 
been grown on light and heavy soil and seems to do well on either. It roots very 
deep and withstands dry weather better than most other kinds. This also enables 
It to bring a large crop to perfection and hold the size lip well at the last pickings 
and I believe the berry vyill average about twice as large and double the quarts that 
Michael s F.arly will, aside from being three to five days earlier.

I take pleasure in recommending “Fairfield,” your early strawberry as I am a 
shipper of berries and find that this variety sells well, stands shipping good and 
comes early enough to command best prices. H. B. Bamforp

I have seen Fairfield .Strawberry grown for two years; would .say that they are 
the earhest of the early; they are of good color, a good, hardy shipper and a splen- 
did table berry. Ai.ONzo Camfueel

My son has fruited the Fairfield alongside of the HolTnian and Michael’s Farlv 
and several other early berries, and they are from two to four days earlier than "any 
berry I ever saw. lliey are the largest early berry I ever saw; robust and very pro- 
ductive. The berries are of good color and an excellent shipper. They are perfect 
blossoms and the plant is a good runner. Yours truly, Peter Iohnson
