The one chief thing that has kept Premier so far ahead of other kinds in popularity for 

 so long is that you can depend on a crop of berries every year. The blossoms are so hardy 

 they can stand more than other kinds, they are so numerous 90% can be killed and still a 

 fair crop is produced. Mr. Charles W. Bandle of Fulton Co., Illinois, writes, "The spring of 

 1946 gave us the worst weather I have ever experienced. March was like the good old sum- 

 mer time. Trees, plants, and flowers bloomed three weeks ahead of time. Fruit trees and 

 strawberries were in full bloom and a blizzard came, the temperature dropping to 20 °F. 

 100% of the Catskill were destroyed and 90% of the Premier. After a tremendous rain Cats- 

 kill turned on the plant growth, nearly two feet high. Premier, however, sent out lateral buds 

 and bloomed again and while they were three weeks later than normal, the crop was very 

 large. From 2000 of your new Premier pants and 2000 in old beds, I sold $1425.00 worth- 

 of berries." 



Premier is the Safest Berry You Can Plant 



If you must have a crop — If you can't afford to miss — If a steady volume of berries is neces- 

 sary to some processing business, if you want the variety that holds more records for yields 

 and profit than any other— PLANT PREMIER. Price list page 31. 



DORSETT 



At its best — there is no better early berry. 



Dorsett is best described by comparing it to Premier. 

 Plant growth — equal or superior to Premier. 

 Productiveness— equal or superior to Premier. 

 Size of berries — average larger than Premier. 

 Firmness of berries — better than Premier. 

 Quality of berries — far superior to Premier. 

 Appearance of berries — prettier than Premier. 



If you are one of the lucky growers who have the conditions to grow Dorsett at its best, 

 there is no need to even consider Premier. The catch is that Dorsett is very particular about 

 those conditions. Dorsett's weakest point is susceptibility to frost injury. Avoid cold frosty 

 sites or frost pockets. Dorsett is a weak pollenizer. Avoid having real thick rows so as to 

 make pollenation easier. For the same reason don't over fertilize Dorsett. Don't let our frank 

 talk run you away from Dorsett if you can grow it. If you do set them use rich, moist soil to 

 help size up the tremendous crop of very beautiful berries you will get if the crop comes 

 through. Dorsett offers rich rewards to those who have the conditions and the know-how to 

 make it do its best. Price list, page 31. 



SENATOR DUNLAP 



A fine old variety that has been grown 

 in the Middle and Northern states for many 

 years. It is an extremely vigorous grower, 

 making lots of plants, which are very pro- 

 ductive. Berries are medium in size, a 

 bright rich red clear through, and of good 

 quality. Or^e of the best for canning or 

 freezing. The hardiness of Dunlap plants 

 makes the variety a favorite where the cold 

 winters injure weaker kinds. Canada, 

 Maine, Iowa, Minnesota are among the 

 places where Dunlap is appreciated. Of 

 this variety we have a very fine vigorous 

 stock, the best in years." Here's 

 the place to get your Dunlap plants.
