_ TOWNSEND’S PREMIER IN 
| PENNSYLVANIA 
For 19 years we have purchased 
| our strawberry plants from Town- 
' sends; mever a crop failure from your 
} - Premier plants. They always produce 
extra-heavy crops, your Select-Strair 
Premier are producing even larger 
fruit, better quality and averaging 
18,750 quarts berries per acre the 
past season off of about four acres. 
We received for this fruit $.20 to 
$.25 per quart, and did not have 
enough berries for our trade, when 
my neighbors who bought some plants 
elsewhere could not sell their berries 
for even ten cents.

There may be others that will supplant

While Premier is well known by the majority of berry growers, for the 
benefit of the new planters we describe Premier as follows: 
Colcr—Medium bright red and very at- 
tractive with its large green cap that 
shows off the berry to advantage when 
placed on the market. 
Size—Under favorable growing conditions 
the berries will run large to extra large 
and very uniform size, holding up well to 
the last picking. 
Firmness—Premier can be classed as a 
long distant shipper where trucks are 
used. For the market gardener its firm- 
ness will be found to be very satisfactory. 
Vigor—Premier is a strong, healthy grower, 
making a good fruiting bed on a wide 
range of soils and climatic conditions. 
Quality—Stands out as one of the best 
flavored berries grown. 
Season of Ripening—In the North Premier 
is one of the first varieties to ripen. It 
can be put on the market from a week 
ee ten days ahead of the mid-season varie- 
es. 
Frost Resistant—-Premier has long been 
noted for its frost resistance and I have 
never heard tell of a Premier crop failure 
due to late frosts. 
Premier and Howard 17 are one and the same variety. The variety was 
originated by A. B. Howard Sons of Belchertown, Mass., and in many 
sections Premier is known by the name, Howard 17.
