  FARMER'S 
  FRIEND 
  

  

  Nanrv 
  I 
  f^f^ 
  ^ 
  seedling 
  of 
  our 
  own 
  with 
  unknown 
  parentage. 
  It 
  has 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  characteristics 
  of 
  the 
  

   1^ 
  jr 
  1^*5*5 
  Premier 
  and 
  Aroma. 
  We 
  have 
  tested 
  it 
  thoroughly 
  here 
  in 
  the 
  Nursery 
  and 
  its 
  main 
  points 
  

  

  of 
  merit 
  are 
  its 
  unusual 
  thriftiness 
  and 
  resistance 
  to 
  all 
  diseases; 
  its 
  ability 
  to 
  crop 
  under 
  most 
  trying 
  conditions; 
  

   its 
  resistance 
  to 
  frost 
  injury; 
  its 
  productiveness, 
  and 
  its 
  superior 
  quality 
  to 
  all 
  other 
  Early 
  berries 
  we 
  have 
  tested. 
  

   It 
  starts 
  ripening 
  a 
  week 
  before 
  Premier 
  and 
  continues 
  to 
  give 
  an 
  abundance 
  of 
  berries 
  for 
  nearly 
  a 
  month. 
  The 
  

   berries 
  average 
  large 
  to 
  very 
  large, 
  most 
  of 
  them 
  having 
  a 
  double 
  cap. 
  It 
  is 
  shaped 
  like 
  the 
  Premier 
  and 
  pro- 
  

   duces 
  its 
  berries 
  near 
  the 
  ground 
  like 
  Premier. 
  The 
  berry 
  is 
  not 
  firm 
  enough 
  to 
  ship 
  to 
  distant 
  markets 
  but 
  we 
  

   believe 
  it 
  will 
  compare 
  favorably 
  with 
  any 
  early 
  berry 
  lor 
  nearby 
  markets 
  and 
  home 
  use. 
  We 
  have 
  beds 
  of 
  the 
  

   Nancy 
  Lee 
  that 
  are 
  four 
  years 
  old 
  and 
  still 
  producing 
  an 
  abundance 
  of 
  fine 
  berries 
  each 
  year. 
  We 
  have, 
  found 
  no 
  

   other 
  berry 
  to 
  equal 
  it 
  for 
  canning 
  and 
  preserving. 
  It 
  seems 
  to 
  retain 
  the 
  rich 
  red 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  berry 
  and 
  that 
  de- 
  

   licious 
  strawberry 
  taste 
  that 
  makes 
  the 
  strawberry 
  one 
  of 
  our 
  most 
  popular 
  fruits. 
  We 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  have 
  our 
  

   strawberry 
  growing 
  friends 
  try 
  the 
  Nancy 
  Lee 
  and 
  tell 
  us 
  what 
  they 
  think 
  of 
  it.

  ^° 
  strawberry 
  ever 
  introduced 
  has 
  brought 
  the 
  returns 
  to 
  the 
  grower 
  that 
  the 
  Premier 
  has, 
  

   * 
  rCIIUCr 
  anc 
  i 
  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 
  

   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, 
  Massachussetts 
  or 
  Illinois, 
  you 
  always 
  had 
  

   an 
  abundance 
  of 
  new 
  plants 
  that 
  were 
  thrifty 
  and 
  disease 
  free. 
  The 
  land 
  did 
  not 
  have 
  to 
  be 
  rich. 
  Of 
  course, 
  it 
  

   will 
  do 
  better 
  on 
  good 
  soils, 
  but 
  even 
  on 
  comparatively 
  poor 
  soil 
  Premier 
  always 
  makes 
  a 
  showing 
  for 
  you. 
  It 
  

   can 
  be 
  considered 
  almost 
  frost-proof. 
  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 
  only 
  surpassed 
  by 
  Chesapeake 
  and 
  possibly 
  Red 
  Gold. 
  It 
  is 
  moderately 
  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 
  assurance 
  for 
  next 
  year's 
  income, 
  plant 
  an 
  acre 
  or 
  more 
  of
