THE BIG THREE MONEY-MAKERS 
PREMIER (Per.) 
Premier is truly a prize-winner, and the BIGGEST money 
maker on the list. This is without any exception the best extra 
early variety ever originated. The plants grow large and are 
wonderfully productive. The berries are big, glossy beauties, 
the largest and most beautiful of all extra early strawberries. 
They are ideal for every use that a strawberry may be used for— 
canning, preserving—excellent for all home purposes, and most 
splendid shippers. We have grown acres of them on our own 
farms that have produced more than 10,000 quarts per acre, and 
have received many reports from our customers that they had 
picked from 12,000 to 15,000 quarts per acre. 
Premier has never failed to net us more than $1,000 per acre 
and as high as $3,000 in 1920. Its heavy production of high quality 
berries makes Premier unusually profitable. It is now the favorite 
extra early strawberry in every section of the country with the 
possible exception of the extreme South. We have the largest 
stock of Premier plants this season that we have ever grown, and

FORD (Per) 
Ford is a mid-season to very late, and as near an universal 
variety as it is possible to get. We have shipped Ford plants all 
over this country from Florida to Maine, and we have our first 
complaint yet to hear in the eight years since we introduced it. 
Practically all State and Agricultural Colleges have tested the 
ford and have given the very highest recommendations. Ford is 
one of the hardiest plants on our list, and easy to grow in all soils 
and climate. Like Premier is as near frost-proof as it is possible 
to get, and will produce a bumper crop of extra large, high qual- 
ity berries when most varieties fail. We received hundreds of 
wires and letters from our customers here in the East after the 
big freeze and frosts, for four nights in succession, during the 
blooming season 1922, that their Ford had came thru in fine shape 
and that they would have a good crop of fruit. In selecting vari- 
eties, the hardiness in bloom have been overlooked entirely too 
much in the past and we urge our customers to read carefully 
Our descriptions on this point. 
In appearance after the fruit is picked it is almost impossible 
to distinguish Ford from the Premier, both in color and shape; 
quality in taste and firmness are the same. About the only differ- 
ence is in plant growth, and the difference in the time of ripening, 
Premier being about ten days earlier than Ford
