MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
FAIRFAX (Perfect)—For those of you who want a sweet 
berry above everything else, we offer the Fairfax variety. It 
is a very large and dark red in color and a very delicious 
flavor. 
With us it does not make as good a row of plants as our 
other varieties nor does it yield the quantity of berries that 
the Howard does. However, with plenty of water or on fairly 
damp soils, it will produce more plants. 
The fruiting season begins about a week after Howard. 
For really sweet berries, plant Fairfax. 
ABERDEEN (Perfect)—-This variety seems to be a fine 
running mate for Howard No. 17. It is somewhat later than 
the early berries and produces a large very bright berry until 
late in the season. It is a prolific plant-maker with clean 
healthy foliage standing well off the ground. We have tried it 
on different soils and wherever planted seems to be at home. 
I have seen this variety planted on fairly heavy soil. It 
was bearing very large, bright berries well after most berries 
were gone. It seems to give quality berries after Howard No. 
17 and Dorsett have gone by. 
CATSKILL (Perfect)—This is a very fine variety. We 
recommend it especially for commercial growers. It is a mid- 
season berry and produces a very good crop of berries with 
fewer pickings needed to harvest the crop than with some other 
varieties. The berries are practically all large. Very few small 
berries are found.

The 3500 plants arrived in good order yesterday. They are 
entirely satisfactory, and I want to thank you for sending such

Those are very convenient crates that you used this year.

skill, and (5,000 Premier) same as I had last year. 
I had wonderful results last year with my berries, best I 
have ever had ard my new bed this year is far better than last 
year.
