The Greatest Early Berry on The Market 



PREMIER 



(Howard 17) 



No Other Standard Variety Will Make As Much Money 

 For The Strawberry Grower 



Premier has taken first place with the most successful straw- 

 berry growers throughout the country. The demand for this 

 variety is far greater than any other variety on the market. 

 This demand is steadily increasing as new growers find the 

 good qualities of this berry. 



Premier Fruit Is Perfect 



We have never yet had a report from our customers stating that they ever lost their crop 

 by late frosts or freezing. Not only a frost proof variety bus one of the greatest drouth resisters 

 owing to their large and extra long roots. If there is any moisture within a foot of the top soil 

 thev will surely get it. Other varieties will dry up from drouth when Premier planted beside 

 them will show little or no effect. 



Heavy Producers 



As a long distant shipper it has no equal. Not only does it carry well but commands the 

 very top market prices. Its uniform size and color always attracts the attention of the very best 

 trade. On this page you will notice a Premier berry taken from actual photograph; note the cap 

 which stands out prominent; this is a dark green and never shows any sign of rust or wilting 

 after picking. The Premier is an extra early fancy berry, one that every grower should plant. 



If your land is not netting you $500.00 per acre, then plant it to Premier. Everyone who 

 has grown the Premier has given it the name of being the heaviest producer of high quality ber- 

 ries that they have ever grown. Our files show that it is an every day occurence to make from 

 $1,000 to $1200 per acre clear. One of our customers who was at our nurserier this summer 

 stated that from one acre he sold over $1650.00 worth of berries. Another customer writes: If 

 your land is not producing anything but taxes to plant it in Premier and you will make the best 

 investment you ever made. 



Set Our Quality New-Ground Plants 



Townsend's plants are grown on light new ground soil, producing an abundance of_fiberous roots and 

 making a heavy fruit crown. It certainly will not pay to set small runted plants as this quality plant will 

 tell when picking time comes. One acre set with Townsend's New Ground Plants are worth several acres 

 set with low vitality stocky 



Largest Growers of Premier Plants In The Country 



For the past eight years we have made a specialty of growing this variety, and have grown and sold pro- 

 bably more of this variety than any other concern in the country. The demand on us for these plants is so 

 enormous that it seems impossible for us to grow enough of them. Our stock this year runs into several mil- 

 lion, and we have never had finer quality plants to offer you than we have this year.
