On this page we present to you a 
true picture of our heavy rooted, 
hardy northern grown, new land Fair¬ 
fax plants. These plants were dug and 
this photograph was taken October 
26, 1934. Just a sample of the sturdy 
plants we have to offer our customers 
for 1935. 
FAIRFAX 
New berry of outstanding quality 
—more productive than Premier and 
finer berries. Introduced by the U. S. 
Dept, of Agriculture. Released 
for the 
first time 
3 years 
ago. 
Fairfax is a cross of Royal 
Sovereign and Premier (or 
Howard 17). The most out¬ 
standing characteristic of the 
Fairfax is its quality. It also 
compares favorably in other 
ways with the best of other spring bearing varieties. 
SIZE OF BERRIES. Berries of Fairfax average very large, even 
slightly larger than Dorsett, larger than Premier and Blakemore under 
similar conditions. 
FROST RESISTANT. Although Fairfax has been fruited for a num¬ 
ber of years and it begins blooming early no frost damage has been noted 
during that period. 
PRODUCTIVENESS. In a test plot Fairfax produced at the rate of 
5,110 quarts per acre, while Premier under similar conditions produced 
4,520 quarts; but we want to bring out the fact very strongly that not 
only the amount per acre is in favor of Fairfax, but also the percentage 
of fancy berries. 
VIGOR, HEALTH AND FOLIAGE. To produce a satisfactory crop 
of berries, a variety must have a healthy foliage. In that respect Fairfax 
is outstanding, having a thrifty, healthy, upstanding dark green foliage. 
COLOR, APPEARANCE AND QUALITY. The berries are bright 
red with yellow seeds, very attractive. No berry (except Dorsett) can 
equal Fairfax in quality. It is impossible to describe it; to be appreciated 
it must be eaten. By all means test this wonderful new variety in your 
locality and reap the profit. Be the first to supply your neighborhood 
with this winner. 
PRICES REDUCED. We were compelled to return money on many 
hundreds of orders last year, being sold out the latter part of the season. 
While we have a larger acreage of Fairfax, we have our prices substantially 
reduced. Do not be disappointed. Order early and have your plants 
reserved. For prices, see page 31.
