as PREMIER (Kellogg’s Premier )—Per. 
The money making king of all early varieties. If there has ever 
been a strawberry originated without a fault it is the Premier. We 
have grown it five years on our own farms and have never found a 
berry to equal it. The Premier is surely in a class to itself. Itisa 
universal variety. We have sold plants in every nook and corner of 
the U. S. and have never received a complaint. But everyone who 
have seen the plants growing and fruiting agree with us that they 
have pever seen its equal. 
We describe it is follows: It is a strong polinizer, strong vigor- 
ous grower, and a heavy producer of extra large bright red berries 
of the most delicious flavor, solid red to the center. Hundreds of 
people who have visited our farms and seen and tasted the fruit have 
stated that it was the most perfect berry they had ever seen or tast- 
ed. A berry with the qualities of the Premier, can not but help pro- 
ducing the results required. Therefore as a money maker it has no 
equal. Premier produced for us this year (1920) on our own farms 
at the rate of more than $5,000 per acre. One of our neighbors sold 
for more than $2,500 on three-quarters of an acre of Premier. And 
reports of $1,509 to $2,000 per acre are very common. Premier is a 
prize winner everywhere. And brings the top market price both at 
the loading stations and in the markets. Will equal the Klondyke 
or any other long distance shipper, as a shipping variety. And whenit 
is once sold on your local markets you will find it hard to sell any 
other. Begins to fruit with the early varieties and continues until 
the season is well over for the late sorts. We sold our first plants 
in the South two years ago, and in every section where we had sold 
plants there we were swamped with orders the past season. There 
has never been enough plants to supply the demand, and won’t be for 
several years to come. We sold every plant from our nursery beds 
last season at $10.00 per 1000, and had to return thousands of dol- 
lars for Premier orders. We set 200,000 Premier plants last spring 
for plants this season, and do not expect to be able to fill our orders 
again this season. We have also set a large acreage for fruit, as we 
find the fruit much more profitable than the plants. Even at $10.00 
per 1000, we lost over $1000 per acre last season by selling plants. 
Our Premier berries netted us $9.00 per 32-quart crate which was 
about $1.00 per crate more than any other variety. . 
No matter in what section of the country you are situated we 
urge you to grow Premier, for your main crop of berries, and place 
your order early. 
DR. BURRILL (per). The Million Dollar Strawberry. 
Dr. Burrill is early to mid-season, and is our next favorite va- 
riety to Premier. We have grown and shipped both plants and fruit 
of the Dr. Burrilll for several years; getting our stock from the in- 
troducer. It has always been a paying variety for us. It is a strong 
hardy grower on any soil and a berry that should not be overlooked 
by the new beginners. We describe it as follows: Fruit large to 
extra large in the beginning, decreasing in size as the season ad- 
vances; color dark red through to center, with excellent flavor, and 
considered to be among the very best table varieties. Is wonderful 
productive and a good one to plant with such varieties as Haverland, 
Dr. Burrill and Sen. Dunlap. Is very closely related and indeed it 
would take an expert to distinguish between the two. However, we 
are assured it is a seedling of the Crescent and the Dunlap. One of 
our very best sellers, and you won’t go wrong on planting. We have 
about five million plants this season of Dr. Burrill.
