U.S.D.A., No. 613 
Fruiting Season Covers a Long Period— 
About the Same as Dorsett 
Fairfax Flavor 
Preferred 
Many of our customers and friends while 
visiting our commercial fields during the 
past fruiting season were asked for their 
opinion as to which of the two, Dorsett or 
Fairfax, had their preference, considering 
flavor alone. While the result was close, 
our records at the end of the season show' 
ed Fairfax a slight winner. 
Originated by the Department of Agriculture 
about the same time as Dorsett, and introduced 
to the public by our Company in 1933. 
A variety ranking close to Dorsett, has to be 
good. Fairfax, in our commercial plantings, 
holds that position. 
Technical Description of Fruit 
We receive each year hundreds of such letters from

^ "Fairfax Exceeds All Expectations" 
Writes One of Our Customers 
West Bridgewater, Mass. 
Fairfax has exceeded all my expectations. In fact it 
has lived up to all the claims made for it in all of the 
many advertisements. It is a good yielder, berries large 
and held up well off the ground, and in flavor is supe¬ 
rior to anything I have ever raised.
