PREMIER 



EARLY SPRING VARIETIES 



PREMIER (Howard 17) (Per) 



Premier, or Howard 17, is the best and most popular early variety 

 ever introduced, and no variety, either early or late, was ever 

 introduced that attained such great popularity in so short a time, 

 for Premier is grown and is a success in all parts of the country. 



Here are just a few reasons why it is so popular: 



1. It is the first large early berry to ripen — size and earliness — 

 a combination that brings in the money. There are a few, and 

 very few, varieties earlier than Premier, but none of them can com- 

 pare with Premier in size and quality. 



2. It is productive, bearing an enormous crop of fruit. No 

 variety will produce more, and holds up well in size until the last 

 picking. 



3. It is a sure cropper, nearly always producing a bumper crop, 

 even when other varieties are killed by frost, being almost frost- 

 proof.
