PREMIER 



Premier. The very best of all extra-early varieties. We 

 have never found anything to equal it. Berries are large, 

 beautifully formed, bright red thru and thru. It is deli- 

 cious in flavor and a splendid shipper. We have fruited 

 it three years and consider it the money-making king of 

 all early varieties. It produces a very heavy crop and you 

 Id plant heavily, whether growing for home use, local 

 . ii.et or distant shipment. If Premier has any weak 

 points, we have not found them and we advise all those 

 in sections where early berries are in demand to include 

 Premier, whether setting fifty plants or fifty thousand. 

 We are going to plant heavily of Premier for fruit. That 

 is our recommendation of it. Price $10 per thousand. 

 MEDIUM-EARLY VARIETIES 



Collins. Fruited by us last year for the first time; bore 

 a good crop of good size, large red berries, which were 

 of good flavor and ripened evenly without green tips. 

 Bears thru a long season. Price $12 per thousand. 



DR. BURRILL. Very similar to Senator Dunlap, but 

 possibly a more vigorous grower and heavier cropper. 

 Dr. Burrill bears well, is a good shipper and good keeper 

 — excellent for canning and very delicious to eat on the 

 table. The blossoms are perfect and its long blooming 

 season make it good for planting with imperfect flower- 

 ing sorts. Price $6 per thousand. 



EARLY JERSEY GIANT. A very large, medium early 

 berry of the highest quality. It ripens evenly all over 

 and is conical in shape, with pointed tips. The berries 

 have large, green caps which makes the fruit very showy 

 and attractive. Blossoms perfect. Plants large and 

 strong. The berries are firm enough to ship and with 

 • its handsome appearance, always commands top prices. 

 It is one of the best medium early fancy berries. Price 

 $8 per thousand. 



KLONDIKE. The leading market berry of the south- 

 ern states. The reasons it is so well liked are many. 

 The plant is a vigorous grower and quite healthy. It 

 bears a good crop and the berries are medium to large 

 in size, that ripen evenly all over and are rather light 

 in color and most important of all, are firm enough to 

 ship hundreds of miles and still go in market in per- 

 fect condition. Not a home-garden, or local market berry, 

 but one of the best for shipping. Price $6 per thous- 

 and. 



Lady Corneille. A strong grower which will do well on 

 almost any soil; especially good in California and parts 

 of the south. Blossoms are perfect. Berries are large, 

 conical in shape, uniform in size, and hold up well until 

 the end of the season. It is firm enough to stand long 

 distant shipments in good condition. Price $6 per thous-
