I spaced my Fairfax plants about five to six inches apart which accounts for such fine big- berries.—Mr. Chester A. Kuhns, Carroll Co., Ind. Connecticut Fairfax is the most attractive berry we have grown. "While not as heavy a producer as Premier they cropped very heavily for us in 1935. The berries were very large and made us many new friends. Dorsett were grown beside the Fairfax and on very rich land. They made a very thick and crowded set of plants in the row and were probably over-fertilized. The yield was very dis- appointing.—Mr. George S. Hart-Pharos Farm, Hartford Co., Conn. Illinois My Fairfax and Dorsett berries brought an average of 22c1 per quart this year and I couldn't supply the demand. Had lots of compliments on the quality and flavor of the berries as well as on their fine appearance. They were very large in size. Some of my buyers said they were not strawberries, they were tomatoes. Both pro- duced a heavy crop but Fairfax somewhat the heavier. I expect to continue growing both va- rieties, but Fairfax mostly.—Mr. Charles Allgire, Saint Clair Co., 111. Oh IO Our Dorsett and Fairfax berries were very productive this year. They ran from large to very large in size. In general appearance none were better, not even Chesapeake, and they brought top price on the market. In the wet sea- son we had this year Fairfax and Dorsett kept better than Premier which had plenty of bad berries. Dorsett, Fairfax and Chesapeake will be our three main crop varieties.—Mr. John Bockreth, Allen Co., Ohio. From 500 Dorsett and 500 Fairfax plants set in 1934 I picked over 1300 quarts of berries, more from Fairfax than Dorsett. The quality of both was very fine. Received an average price of 12y2<l- per quart. Will order more Dorsett
