to withstand frosts like the regular stock. 

 We now believe that it has that ability in 

 full measure, as the following experience 

 by a grower way up north will testify: 

 Ontario, Canada., Feb. 18, 1955. "The 

 plants I have had from you for the last 

 two years have done exceptionally well. 

 The virus free stock was outstanding. The 

 Premier was lighter in color and somewhat 

 softer but yielded very heavy and the 

 frost damaged several other varieties but 



did not damage the virus free Premier." 

 JOHN E. COOPER. 



Our present stock of Premier is nearly 

 all grown from the extra vigorous, virus 

 free sources. Your Premier orders will be 

 filled from this stock unless you specify 

 on your order sheet that you prefer non 

 virus free Premier.

MIDLAND 



HOWARD 17 



Midland has the qualities to rate as a 

 great strawberry. If it produced plants 

 more freely it would be a great straw- 

 berry. Stocks free from virus are restor- 

 ing the original vigor and runner making 

 ability of Midland. We have very few 

 Midland this year, because we wanted 

 only virus free stocks. We have one short 

 acre of Midland plants. The picture be-

Premier is also sold as Howard 17, 

 which was the original name. The va- 

 rieties are identical in every respect. It 

 is a "pippin" no matter which name you 

 use. Price list page 32. 



Dorset! is a high quality berry which 



.as many good points and a few bad 



nes. Dorsett ranks about with Premier 



1 plant growth and production. It is 



jperior to Premier in attractiveness and 



rmness. The quality of Dorsett is much 



etter than Premier, in fact surpassed only 



Y Fairfax and Fairpeake. The bad points 



; Dorsett are that it is susceptible to frost 



jury and it is hard to make all the blos- 



)ms set fruit. To help overcome these 



ings, avoid frosty sites, don't over- 



rtilize the row making it too dense, and 



m't let the plants become too thick in 



9 row. 



For several years most stocks of Dorsett 

 5re weakened in plant growth by a 

 ^us disease. Certified virus free plants 

 Dorsett are not yet available but our 

 ssent stock is either free from virus or 

 Thly resistant to it. For the past several 

 ars we have grown beautiful Dorsett 

 is. At its best Dorsett is one of the 

 st productive and profitable of all va- 

 les. Those who can grow it at its best 

 1 find it hard to beat. Price list page 32.
