FAVORITE FOR A QUARTER CENTURY IN PENNSYLVANIA. 

 NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND STATES 



Because PREMIER has been proven as nearly frostproof as a strawberry can be 

 it has been a favorite in the Northeastern States and in high altitudes since it was 

 introduced 30 years ago. No other variety has been as universally accepted be- 

 cause PREMIER has never been known to have a crop failure over a wide range of 

 soil and climatic conditions. 



Coupled with Catskill, which is a midseason ideally adapted to PREMIER areas 

 (see page 17), the PREMIER grower can now enjoy profitable fruiting over an un- 

 usually long season. As with all varieties, it pays to get the very best plants. 

 RAYNER BROTHERS have specialized with PREMIER for 21 years. 



Growth — Vigorous, makes good fruiting bed in all types of soil, 

 very disease resistant. 



Size — First berries average very large, will run down toward the 

 end of the season as so many berries are set on each plant. 



Firmness — Berries firm enough for truck shipment but will not 

 stand long refrigeration. 



Frost Resistant — PREMIER blooms so profusely on short stems 

 under foliage that frost cannot damage all blooms, and has never 

 failed to make a crop. 



Quality and Flavor — Good in North and Northwestern States, not 

 the best in Southern sections. 



Productiveness — PREMIER is the early leader, under general 

 conditions.
