FAIRFAX 
Fairfax has won the same place in the garden that Premier has in 
the commercial field. 
A Premier cross, Fairfax resembles this parent rather ciosely i= the 
general appearance of its foliage. The leaves have the same cupped ‘2a- 
tures, are just a little darker in color. The plant is larger, however, in 
every way. The crown is very heavy, the roots are large and long. The 
leaves are wide and stand far above the ground. The blossoms are large, 
the fruiting stems high and heavy. 
Fairfax berries are smooth, big, fancy, dark red beauties, 
just the kind you like to show to your friends in the field, the 
kind you like to take from the locker or freezer for Christmas 
dinner. Very well adapted to freezing. 
The seeds are large and rather prominent, bright yellow, and en- 
hance the appearance of the dark red fruit. The taste of the berry is 
not often excelled, about the last word in strawberry ‘flavor. Quite firm, 
too, for reasonable handling. Just the kind of berry you want for your 
own use or for fancy local trade. If you are setting Premier for com- 
mercial purposes, try to have a few Fairtax for your own table. 
While the Fairfax berries are larger and sometimes more attractive 
in appearance and tastier to some people, not nearly as many berries 
will be set, and the total yield is not high.
