TRIED - FAIRFAX - PROVEN 
A Worthy Mate for the New Dorsett 
Fairfax, like Dorsett, is also an origination of the United States Department of Agriculture and is thought to 
be a cross between Premier and Royal Sovereign. Introduced at the same time as Dorsett, it has received wide 
acclaim for its exceptional QUALITY as well as its many other good points. 
Experts who have tested Fairfax place it at the very top of the list for quality. Berries average larger in size 
than Premier and in color are a deep, full red. Fairfax is a little more firm than Dorsett, and is fully as firm as 
Blakemore, making it a wonderful long-distance shipper. The foliage is a very dark green, exceptionally free 
from disease and vigorous in growth. The fruit stems are very stocky and erect, holding the berries well off the 
ground. The Fairfax is very productive, running second only to Dorsett in extensive crop tests. Although fruited 
for a number of years, no frost damage has been noted during that period. It has established a reputation for 
producing bumper crops of early berries of such quality as to bring premium price on every crate. Unbeatable 
for the home garden, as it has an eating quality that places it in a class by itself. 
Fairfax berries picked at the proper time are 
a bright red with a light green cap and prominent 
yellow seeds which make them very attractive. 
Flowever, as they become riper they get to be 
darker in color which may work against this va¬ 
riety as a shipping berry on markets demanding 
a real light berry. On home markets, or for ship¬ 
ment to distant markets where the darker type 
berries are acceptable, commercial growers are 
finding Fairfax a really worth-while variety that 
will produce well, ship well, and sell at top prices.
