Fairfax 
BLACK STRAWBERRY 
This berry is so dark that we call it 
black. Wonderful sweet flavor. These 
almost black berries are large, nearly 
round, and of the finest quality. One of 
the finest for canning and jams because 
of its sweetness. We have only a few 
plants so please order early. 12 plants 
for 40c; for larger amounts see page 8. 
No other introduced variety except Fairfax 
has the fine dessert quality of Dorsett. There 
are some differences of opinion as to whether 
Dorsett or Fairfax is the best in quality, 
there is little difference in opinion as to 
fact that the two varieties stand head 
shoulder above the general run of leading 
commercial sorts as far as quality is con¬ 
cerned. Dorsett berries average very 
large in size, being about as large as the 
Fairfax. We feel that Dorsett is firm 
enough so that, coupled with its other out¬ 
standing qualities it will become a leading 
commercial variety. Dorsett berries are 
rather light in color, being fully as light 
as Premier, and holding their light color 
about as well as Blakemore. This proba¬ 
bly will be a big factor when marketing 
Dorsett on the wholesale markets where 
buyers are accustomed to considering 
dark color a definite sign of over-ripe¬ 
ness. The berries are beautiful in ap¬ 
pearance, the light color, bright green 
cap, large size and attractive shape of 
the berries make them very desirable and 
should appeal to many buyers. Perfect 
flowering.

FAIRFAX 
Fairfax is considered better in quality 
than Premier, even much better than any 
of those varieties which have been con¬ 
sidered at the very peak in quality. We 
have never seen a healthier growing plant 
nor plants that would maintain this vigor 
better than these new berries, Fairfax 
and Dorsett. In this respect they are fully 
as good as Premier and Blakemore, hav¬ 
ing a dark green, almost black foliage 
which seems to almost radiate vigor. Fair¬ 
fax berries average very large, much larg¬ 
er than Premier and considerably larger 
than Blakemore under similar conditions. 
Fairfax berries are very firm, they are 
equal or superior to Blakemore, and firm¬ 
er than Premier. Fairfax berries picked 
at the proper time are a bright red with a 
green cap and prominent yellow seeds 
which make them very attractive. Perfect 
flowering. 
AMBROSIA 
V (Late to very late) 
Start bearing late and help to bridge the gap 
between regular varieties and everbearing. 
The Ambrosia is the best late strawberry that 
we have ever seen, it has been known that 30 
berries will fill a quart box. Wonderful for 
long distance shipping. Ambrosia are bright 
red, fresh looking berries that will please you, 
wonderful flavor, small seeds, flesh is firm and 
solid. Plants grow very large and husky, often 
measuring 12 inches tall with very large leaves. 
Perfectly hardy sort, perfect flowering, we con¬ 
sider this a late standard sort. Prices on page 8.
