An Old Favorite And Possibly The World's Greatest Strawberry 
Frost-Proot, Productive And Dependable 
OUR SELECTED PREMIERS ARE THE SURE MONEY MAKERS FOR THE 
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS. 
No strawberry ever introduced has brought the re- 
turns to the grower that the Premier has, and it still 
stands unchallenged as a real money-maker. It has 
a record very hard to equal as an early market berry, 
and we cannot say too many good things about it. 
Consider these important facts about the Premier and 
you can readily understand why we say this about 
it. Until the introduction of the Blakemore it had no 
equal as a variety that would adapt itself to most 
all soil and climatic conditions, whether the soil was 
sandy clay loam or rocky, whether it was planted 
in North Carolina, Mass., or Ill., you always had an 
abundance of new plants that were thrifty and 
disease free. The land does not have to be rich. Of 
course, it will do better on good soils, but even on 
comparatively poor soil Premier always makes a show- 
ing for you. It can be considered almost frostproof. 
It has never failed in a crop in this section since it 
was introduced. ‘The berries average large and hold up 
well under heavy crops and unfavorable seasonable 
conditions; it ripens over a comparatively long period, 
from two to three weeks; the berries have an attractive 
bright red color and unusual quality that is surpassed 
by Chesapeake and possibly Red Gold. It is mod- 
erately firm and will carry well to markets up to three 
hundred miles and further if handled properly. It is 
the best of the tried and proven early varieties. As an

ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MID- 
4 : SEASON BERRIES OF RECENT 
INTRODUCTION 
IT HAS PROVED ITS RIGHT AS A LEADER OF MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
A vigorous grower; somewhat frost resistant, extremely productive, equaling Dorset and Premier; berries very 
large, firm and good quality. ! 
The Catskill is a product of the New York Experiment Station, being a cross between Marshall and Premier. 
It has proven up under test for the past many years and is now recognized as one of the best mid-season berries 
in cultivation. The foliage is healthy in this latitude. It is a good plant maker and has proved to be extremely 
productive. The berries are as large as Big Joe and Chesapeake and of good quality although not rated quite up 
to Premier and Fairfax. We strongly recommend Catskill for this and more Northernly sections. 
New TEMPL 
Seldom does a New Introduction attain the immediate approval accorded the Temple. Large Size 
—Heavy Production—Excellent Quality and resistance to Red Stele combine to recommend it. Has 
been successfully grown and-produced from North Carolina to Southern New York with outstanding 
results. 
Temple berries have proved firm and good 
shippers, leading many local auction markets 
as much as $3.00 per 24 qt. crate. 
1949 AGAIN PROVED A BANNER YEAR 
FOR TEMPLE—GIVE THEM A TRIAL 
The Temple is a U. S. D. A. cross between 
Aberdeen and Fairfax made in 1938 under 
number 84-AF. In 1939 it was selected by Dr. 
Temple and named in his honor. The Temple 
is an exceptionally vigorous variety, makes a 
dense bed of unusually tall plants. The foliage 
is highly resistant to leaf scorch disease. It 
is quite productive and nearly as early as 
Blakemore. The berries are large, blunt conic, 
smooth. uniform and have large attractive 
caps. The dessert quality is good. Thus far 
the shipping tests have shown it to be well 
suited to long distance transportation. From 
our observations of the variety it seems to be 
well adapted to moist fertile soil and has so 
far proven entirely immune to Red Stele root 
rot disease. It has not been injured by cold 
and frosts in seasons when other varieties 
have been seriously injured. Temple is very 
promising and should be given a trial in all 
strawberry producing sections. THE TEMPLE BERRY
