BIG LATE 
THE BIG THREI 
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 
prices are much lower. Every one who has a rod of ground 
should set some Premiers this Spring. (Premier and Howard 17 
are one and the same.) 
NOTE—Premier is particularly hardy in bloom, and is seldom 
affected by late frost.
