FAIRPEAKE At Qood *7o Cat At Qcd>ila*,! 6a*t Mote, lie Said? Already rates a place in the Big Six Group of best varieties for the middle and north- ern states. Fairpeake is about Chesapeake season, possibly a little later. Chesapeake is our own baby we introduced many years ago. Yet we believe Fairpeake will largely replace Chesapeake within a few years. It's a better berry! Plant Growth—Very vigorous, healthy, robust. Makes more plants and larger, stronger ones than Chesapeake but needs little or no thinning. Growth like Fairfax but taller, larger leaves. Productiveness—Much more productive than Chesapeake, about same as Fairfax. Size of Berries—Very large average size—as large as Chesapeake. Appearance—Very beautiful berries. Not quite as evenly shaped but just as pretty as Chesapeake. See crate of Fairpeake berries above. Quality—Just as good as Fairfax. At the very peak. Firmness—Ranks high. Firm enough to ship well. Like other late varieties Fairpeake should have a rich moist soil to bring out fully its wonderful possibilities. Recommended for about the Premier territory. Hardiness has not been fully proved—but it is ok so far. It blooms so late the blossoms are really "hard to ; The thing that lingers in our memory is the marvelous quality of the berries. They really taste like more. We unhesitatingly recommend that everyone, home gardener, small grower or large grower try some Fairpeake. Why not get in on the ground floor with Fair- peake and reach the very peak of quality.
