“Strawberry plants arrived on 14th in splendid condition. 
Thought it might be of interest to know, as this is perhaps one of 
your longer shipments. 
They are without exception the finest strawberry plants I ever 
saw and I appreciate that fact, as well as the wonderful packing.”

Alpine, California.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
FAIRFAX: A new strawberry originated by the 
United States Department of Agriculture. For the 
home garden, local market and roadside stand, we 
believe Fairfax has no equal. It tops the market in 
price. The plants are strong and fully as productive 
as the best of our old varieties with larger, firmer 
berries of far better quality. Fairfax is a perfect berry 
and does not require other varieties for pollination. 
Berries ripen medium early, two or three days later 
than Premier. Well grown Fairfax are beautiful in 
appearance—the berries are a rich red color and if 
allowed to remain on the plants, take on the deep 
rich color of polished mahogany. 
Plants are grown on our own farms where soil con¬ 
ditions are ideal for the production of thrifty plants, 
free from disease. Fresh dug No. 1 plants : 25 plants, 
50 cts.; 50 plants, 85 cts.; 100 plants, $1.40, 
Prepaid. 1,000 plants, $9.00, Not prepaid’ (500 
at 1,000 rate.)
