P • Is still unchallenged as the real money maker among early varie- 



1 rGiTIICr ties of strawberries. It has given more general satisfaction than 

 any other variety ever introduced. For the home garden, for local market, or 

 for shipping moderate distances it outclasses them all. For long distance ship- 

 ping. Premier does not seem to be quite as popular as some of the smaller, firmer 

 varieties, but for heavier production of large, high-quality, fine appearing ber- 

 ries, Premier has no ^qual. Premier is the one variety that excels in so many 

 respects that we feel we can talk enthusiastically without danger of exaggera- 

 tion in telling about it. 



Soil. Premier responds wonderfully to good 

 soil and good care, but will do better than 

 other varieties on poor soil and with indiffer- 

 ent care. Where other varieties fail Premier 

 will probably succeed. Where other varieties 

 are good, Premier is better. 



Productiveness. The plants are immensely 

 productive, ripening early and bearing through 

 a long season. No variety yields more quarts 

 per acre. This is especially important where 

 land is limited and the maximum quantity of 

 fancy berries is desired.
