berry is rather dull in appearance. In this locality, it has been 
unsatisfactory as a commercial berry. 
FAIRFAX 
Cross between Premier and Royal Sovereign. A high qual- 
ity berry, very large and the sweetest of any we have grown. 
If you wish to treat your friends to something very special, 
Fairfax is it. The Fairfax berries have a tendency to turn dark 
in holding, but the quality is so fine it more than offsets that. 
They rank near the top for freezing and firmness, along with 
Sparkle. The foliage is beautiful and so are the blossoms, near- 
ly as big as small roses and are very suitable for decorating 
garden borders. 
Try Fairfax for quality, firmness and for quick freezing. 
FAIRLAND 
Fairland (U.S.D.A. 3205) is a cross of Aberdeen and Fair- 
fax. Resistant to red stele diseases. Plants are very productive, 
ranking with Premier and Catskill in yield. Adapted to any 
region where Premier or Catskill is an important variety. 
Berries ripen two to six days after Premier, are bright red 
and somewhat firmer than Premier. Medium to large in size. 
Recommended for freezing and long distance shipping. 
VAN ROUGE 
From the Horticultural Experimental Station, Vineland 
Station, Ontario, Can. Plants are strong and healthy and 
make fine rows of fruit, are good size, bright red color, good 
for canning and considered one of the best for quick freeezing. 
MIDLAND 
One of the best new varieties in years. It is a vigorous 
grower—tremendous yielder. Berries are of high quality, very 
firm, darker than Premier, but not so dark as Fairfax, shiny 
appearance and are good for freezing. 
We think every strawberry grower should give this berry 
a trial. 
TEMPLE 
Temple is a masterpiece of scientific breeding. If in your 
section you have been troubled with red stele or root rot dis- 
ease, this is the berry for you to plant. It will grow and pro- 
duce in abundance on soils infested with red stele. It is a fine 
variety apart from its being resistant to red stele. Berries are 
medium to large, light red and have a brilliant calyx, which 
presents a fine appearance. Produce buyers agree that Tem- 
ple is definitely a good commerical berry.
