Fairfax originated from a cross made by the author in 1923. It was selected in 1925 and introduced in 1933. Although stated to be of unknown parentage, it has been thought to be a cross of Royal Sovereign × Howard 17. Dorsett and Narcissa, known to be of this parentage, were also introduced in 1933. The writer later raised additional seedlings of this cross, and also crossed both parents with many other varieties. Considering this later experience, I do not now think that Royal Sovereign was a parent of Fairfax.
