   given 
  good

  planted 
  on 
  good 
  

   soil. 
  It 
  will 
  not

  seeming 
  to 
  do 
  best

   soil 
  and 
  heavier 
  soils 
  where 
  there 
  is 
  plenty 
  of 
  moisture. 
  It 
  will 
  

   thrive 
  on 
  well-tilled 
  new 
  land. 
  Like 
  the 
  Premier, 
  it 
  is 
  about 
  

   frost-proof 
  and 
  bears 
  abundantly, 
  the 
  plants 
  having 
  large, 
  healthy 
  

   foliage. 
  The 
  berries 
  are 
  large 
  and 
  attractive, 
  being 
  superior 
  in 
  

   quality. 
  These 
  points 
  of 
  merit 
  enable 
  it 
  to 
  command 
  the 
  highest 
  

   price 
  possible 
  for

  berry 
  is

   other

  good

   of
