Fairfax (Per.) Early. Fairfax was introduced 
by the United States Department of Agriculture 
from a cross of Howard 17 and Royal Sovereign. 
The berries are extra large and of very fine quality. 
Just the berry to grow for your own use and to treat 
your friends. It is not a market berry for the North. 
It may be all right for the South and West. The 
berry is too dark for our markets and it does not 
give the quantity that the Ploward or Catskill does. 
At its best on heavy or medium heavy land. For best 
results should not be allowed to set too many plants. 
A row with plants spaced seven or eight or even nine 
inches apart would be about right. This is the berry 
that will take the place of the Marshall and First 
Quality as a home berry. Better in quality than 
either of these two varieties and far more productive.

Dorsett. The Dorset! may be all right for the 
South and West. But not for New England. Quite a 
few of the blossoms did not set fruit. What did set 
the berries were small and mostly run to nubbins. 
The Plants are not healthy. We have decided to drop 
Dorsett from our list. When the Dorsett first came 
out we did not like it and said so.

Mr. George Rennie, 
Dear Sir: 
I wish you would reserve for me 1000 Howard and 100 
Gem. The Dorsett did well in spots. But the most of the bed 
run to nubbins. Just as you explained in your catalogue. The 
Fairfax v/as very good. But did not fruit as much as I ex¬ 
pected due to overcrowding. 
Yours truly, 
EDWARD F. INGRAHAM.
