This variety is also an origination of the U. S. Depart' 
ment of Agriculture. Berries are exceptionally firm. They 
are a bright red when picked at the proper time; can be 
left on the vines for several days without picking and still 
be of good quality, solid and firm. If this is done, berries 
will be somewhat darker in color, which may be a dis- 
advantage on the market, making Fairfax more of a home 
market and garden variety. However, some markets prefer 
a darker berry, especially when of such fine quality as 
Fairfax. 
Fairfax ripens several days after Dorsett and Premier, 
darker red in color. Flavor of the finest, coupled with the 
vigorous, healthy and productive growing habits, and the 
large, beautiful berries, undoubtedly makes this one of 
the leading midseason Strawberries.

This variety was introduced by the New York Experi- 
ment Station. It is a cross between Premier and Marshall 
and has been known to outyield the famous Dorsett and 
Fairfax. Makes a fine, vigorous 
plant growth; fruit stems are 
thick and grow upright, leaves 
are exceptionally large. Late 
ripening. Good quality berries 
average about the size of Fair¬ 
fax, and hold their size well to 
the end of the picking season. 
This splendid variety was 
awarded a medal by the Massa¬ 
chusetts Horticulture Society 
in Boston even before it was 
named.

Developed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Berries 
are very firm, firmer than Premier, and are a beautiful light 
red in color. They hold this color well, and for this reason, 
together with their attractive shape and extra fine quality, will 
undoubtedly become the leading commercial variety. Com¬ 
mercial growers who have tested all kinds say that if they 
were limited to one variety, Dorsett would be their choice. 
Large, beautiful bright-red berries of the finest flavor. Very 
productive. Vigorous and healthy plant maker. Early as 
Premier. Very frost resistant.
