THE NEW FAIRMORE Fairmore A Fairfax-Blakemore Cross Produces A Great Early Berry Large Size—Good Quality—Firmness and Parentage Recommends Fairmore for Extensive Trial by Berry Growers of the Central and Southern Areas. The Fairmore is a cross between Fairfax and Blake- more, and both of these being Premier crosses we find much of the heavy producing habits and fine quality of the Premier predominating in the Fairmore. Tests so far reveal it will produce heavier per plant than the Blakemore and Missionary. The berries are large, very firm, and have brought a premium on the N. C. markets so far. The berries ripen early, about with Blakemore. When introduced it was not recommended for berry dis- tricts north of Norfolk, Va., but tests have proven it can be grown much farther North and having so much Premier parentage we recommend it to be tried thor- oughly in Southern Ohio, Penna., and New Jersey berry sections. THE PLANT SUPPLY FOR FALL 1943 and SPRING 1944 General conditions combined with labor shortage resulted in greatly reduced plantings by plant nur- series in the spring 1943. Again lack of rainfall and unfavorable growing condition during May, June, July and August in many plant sections has further reduced the plant prospects. A careful survey indicates not more than 50% normal supply will be available for spring 1944 and pos- sibly this figure is high. This indicated shortage will mean many disappointments to the late buyers. We are pleased to say, however, that our plants are making up in a satisfactory manner as this is written and we expect to have about the same supply as
