PREMIER 



PREMIER f Howard 17) No variety ever introduced 

 to the public has received as much praise as the 

 PREMIER. No variety has ever been grown in such 

 quantity, and no variety has made anything like 

 as much money for the growers. And while there 

 are now being introduced some marvelous varieties, 

 which are almost sure to take the place of the 

 PREMIER, it is going to be hard parting between 

 growers and their old friend PREMIER. 



PREMIER has paid off thousands and thousands 

 of old mortgages; purchased and paid for new 

 homes, new barns, automobiles, and many other 

 needy things too numerous to mention, and we 

 predict that it will be grown in a large way for a 

 great many years to come. For the past (14) four- 

 teen years we have made PREMIER plants our 

 specialty. We have grown them in larger quantities 

 than any other nursery. We have shipped them to 

 more than fifty thousand different customers, and 

 over and over year after year these customers come 

 back for more. 



While PREMIER is too well known by the leading 

 growers to need a description, however, for the new 

 beginner we will say that PREMIER, and Howard 

 17 are one and the same variety. The variety was 



originated by Everett C. Howard of Belchertown, 

 Mass., and has become known by manv as B 

 ard 17. 



PREMIER begins to ripen early. Covers a verv 

 long season. Unusually large crops of large to 

 large berries, uniform in size and color. Foliage 

 strong and healthy, and not subject to disease. 

 Grows well on any good rich garden soil in any 

 part of the country. 



Last, PREMIER has never been known to miss a 

 single crop from late frost. Blooms seem to be 

 more hardy than most varieties. When you plant 

 PREMIER you plant frost protection also. 



When you send TOWNSEND your order for PRE- 

 MIER plants you get the best it is possible to grow. 



To show our abiding faith in PREMIER, we have 

 grown this year 1932 the largest acreage of PRE- 

 MIER plants that we have ever grown. We have 

 good PREMIER plants, enough to fill every order 

 that comes to us.
