When grown in the Southern and Middle 
States, Fairfax is an early berry, being only a 
day or two later than Premier and Dorsett in 
this section. Farther North this difference is 
greater so that in New York and New England 
it becomes almost a midseason berry. 
Fortunately Fairfax does well in all sections 
of the country, except far South. It is not quite 
as hardy as Premier, but many growers in 
Maine, Vermont and other Northern States 
rate Fairfax as the best ever, both for home 
use and for fancy markets. As far South as 
North Carolina and Tennessee, Fairfax is a 
winner. U. S. Market reports show that for 
several years Fairfax berries from the great 
North Carolina shipping sections have topped 
all others in price. 
Listen to these brief comments from growers 
in widely scattered states: 
North Carolina —‘‘Fairfax is the finest of all for 
me.” Mr. Harvey L. Smith, Columbus Co. 
Massachusetts —“We are noted for our sweet 
berries and the Fairfax are splendid.” Mrs. 
Dorothy Cota, Franklin Co. 
Kentucky —“I have grown strawberries for 25 
years. Never found anything to equal Fair¬ 
fax.” Mr. Louis Goble, Boyd Co. 
Vermont —“Fairfax are the best berries I ever 
saw.” Mr. F. C. Smead, Windham Co. 
There need he no hesitation about 
planting Fairfax for home gardens or 
for any market where quality is ap¬ 
preciated. Price list, page 85. 
Fairfax. The berries are beauties!
