be used for first spring crop where heavy savoying is 
not a factor. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; % lb. 30

Twenty-five Fairfax strawberry plants will set a 40 foot row. 
These will multiply during the summer and next summer should 
furnish enough delicious berries for a small family. 
Plenty of room should be allowed between rows _ 

Ruby Chard has been very favorably received by the home gard- 
ener. It is a strong grower, not susceptible to insects or disease 
and when cooked has a very distinctive flavor.

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. ‘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,
