This is another photograph of a tremendous strawberry show where ' 
the judges are at work. When the final decision was passed the sweepstake 
prize and the first and second prizes were handed down to our customers 
who grew their berries with our plants. We would like to tell you more 
but the space is limited. 
FAIRPEAKE 
A cross between Fairfax and Chesapeake and has the good qualities 
of both parents. It has kept the wonderful flavor of the Fairfax and 
the firmness of the Chesapeake. The Fairpeake requires damp rich soil 
same as the Chesapeake, but it is by far a better plant maker than 
Chesapeake. The advantage of Fairpeake is that it is not choicy about 
its soil. It will make enough plants in any type of soil, uphill or down- 
hill. 
LUPTON 
Lupton is a fancy late berry and one of the best shippers known. 
Has a beautiful red color and shows up well when packed in crates. 
They grow well on most all soils, making a good fruiting bed. No Flavor. 
If your soil does not suit Chesapeake, try Lupton. It is a good berry 
but if you can grow Chesapeake we would place Chesapeake first. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT. From October 20th to May Ist. Shipping 
through the winter ta Southern states. Spring is the best time to set your 
sttrawberry plants in the Middle and Atlantic states. The earlier your plants 
are shipped and planted the better they are for they will stand digging, 
shipping and planting much better early than after the growth has started. 
May ist ends our shipping season. We will, however, fill a limited number 
of orders shortly after that date, and with a late season the plants will go 
through in gocd condition, but we do not advise planting this late in the 
season and will fill orders only at the purchaser’s risk after this date. We 
will use every precaution in our power to put the plants through in good 
condition.
