Fairfax 
FAIRFAX 
It is considered by most everyone 
who has tasted them to be by far a 
better flavored berry than Premier, 
and other good flavored berries. FAIR¬ 
FAX, like DORSETT, was introduced 
by the United States Department of 
Agriculture, and is supposed to be a 
cross between the Premier 
and the Royal Sovereign. The 
foliage, like that of Dorsett, 
is of a very good quality. 
Good foliage means a good 
fruiting berry. 
Fairfax is also a very pro¬ 
ductive berry, having pro¬ 
duced at the rate of 5120 
quarts per acre. The size of 
the berries averages large. 
They will average with the 
Ambrosia, and that is go¬ 
ing some. Fairfax is a little 
more firm than Dor¬ 
sett, and is fully as 
firm as Catskill. 
This makes it a won¬ 
derful shipping berry. 
The color of the Fair¬ 
fax is dark red, with 
yellow seeds, and a 
nice green hull, mak¬ 
ing a beautiful com¬ 
bination. You should 
by all means try 
some Fairfax this

6640 Quarts to the Acre 
This new variety was originated by the United States Department of 
Agriculture. It is a cross between the PREMIER and the Royal Sovereign, 
an English variety. 
Dorsett is one of the finest berries known, and one of the heaviest 
producers, having produced at the rate of 6640 quarts per acre in the 
East. The foliage is a very dark green and holds this fine color way 
through the fruiting season. Dorsett berries average very large in size, 
even a little larger than Premier. Color is of light red, and will hold 
this light red color long after picking. This probably will be a big factor 
when you market them on the wholesale markets, as that is what the 
wholesale fruit buyers are looking for in the past few years. Light red 
berries always appear to be in better shape than do dark red ones. 
Be sure to try a few of the plants this year. Dorsett is now the leading 
berry for all purposes.

Large Berries 
A quart of huge Dor¬ 
sett Strawberries grown 
by Harry Wakeman of 
Bangor is exhibited by 
Sid Smith of Breeds- 
ville. State Fruit In¬ 
spector, on the Twin 
City market. 
The berries average 
between 1 '/ 2 and 1 7 /s 
inches in diameter and 
are a solid red fruit 
said to have as rich 
qualities as the Dunlap. 
A truckload of the ber¬ 
ries shipped from Anna, 
III., to Duluth, Minn., 
a distance of over 800 
miles, held their color, 
shape and taste excep¬ 
tionally well, according 
to Mr. Smith. 
In all sections except the far South growers can plant 
Catskill with confidence of good results. As a sure cropper 
it ranks with Premier, and is just about as productive. Ber¬ 
ries will average larger than Premier. Catskill is about six 
years old, and in all this time we have not known them to 
fail a crop. The berries are large, 
firm, bright red, and make a fine 
looking package when picked. They 
are plenty firm enough to stand ship¬ 
ping, and the quality is up with most 
of them. Being that Catskill is such 
a heavy bearer it is used in a good 
many places for combination midsea¬ 
son and late. Berries are borne on 
long upright fruit stems, which makes 
it the easiest picking berry of them 
all. It is past the experimental stage, 
so we advise all our customers to go 
to it, as you cannot make a mistake 
in setting Catskill.
