J. W. JONES & SON, FRANKLIN, VIRGINIA ll 
Some Old Some New 
Catskil Has been great, but we are frank to say that it seems de- 
finitely on the wane in popularity. When it does well, it is 
the best midseason kind. If you have continued success with it, of course 
you will plant it. If you are not sure, plant it only in limited quantities, 
is our advice. 
Fairfax One of the older kinds. Grows few plants in most locations. 
Fine quality, in fact unequaled in flavor. It does not seem 
to be doing as well for us, as it did in past years. Plants large and well 
rooted. Early and sells well. 
Fairland If this proves productive enough, it will be very widely 
planted. Surely in plant growth it leaves nothing to be 
desired. Here with us it grows quite as well as Temple, which is the ack- 
nowledged standard of excellence in that regard. It is probably the firmest 
of the newer kinds, and on account of the light color, well carried after 
picking, it should be in fine demand among grocers. In the New England 
states it has, in some cases, produced very heavy crops. In time of ripening 
it is midseason, being just a little later than Premier. We do not hesitate 
to advise all our friends to try it, especially north of the Mason Dixon line. 
We have a very fine strain and a very fine supply of the plants, and 
can supply you in any quantity. 
It looks like strawberries will be in fine demand for many years to come. 
Plan to plant your usual acreage this year. Only those who stick when the 
going is hard reap the harvest.
