In quality Premier berries are good but not the best. They are far better to 

 eat than the Southern shipping berries, Blaken\ore, Klondyke and Missionary, 

 but not as good as Fairfax, Dorsett or Starbright. Where well grown Premier 

 berries are very attractive and sell well on most markets. 



Both in quality and attractiveness Premier gets better as it is grown farther North. In New York, 

 New England and other northern regions where Premier is at its best, the quality rates as high. On 

 the markets they will show up well enough to hold their own with other early varieties. 



Throughout the years Premier has proved to be the most pvofitabie of all varieties for the 

 North. It can be depended upon because the crops are so certain and so large. Premier, more than 

 anything else, has taken much of the "err" out of b-err>y growing in the North. Price list, page 31. 



Nassau Co., New York. Feb. 17, 1942 

 For the past ten years I have been grow 

 ing strawberries. Two years ago 

 you recommended Catskill and 

 Premier. I bought 8,OCX3 of your 

 plants mostly Catskill and Pre- 

 mier. We had one Held from 

 our own plants, 5,CXX) set. From 

 these 13,000 plants we got 

 14,000 quarts which sold for 

 $2,300. We made $1,100 profit. 

 I have read all your recommended 

 ways of growing and marketing 

 berries and have followed them at a 

 profit to me. Dorsett grows too thickly 

 here. Catskill is the best. We got 2c per quart 



more for Catskill as they were very 



large and fancy looking, good keepers 



and good quality. The pickers 



worked overtime when we worked 



on the Catskill as they made 



more money than when picking 



other kinds.

 1942. Had 1,000 Premier plants

 ries are setting fine. Am very well 

 satisfied with them.
