PREMIER 



P • This variety is so widely planted there is little need of de- 



r rCmiCr scribing it. For the past ten years Premier has been, and 

 for that matter, still is, the most popular early berry grown, and has no 

 doubt returned the most profit to growers of any berry yet introduced. 

 We expect however, the new Fairfax will some day take its place, but 

 until such time Premier is still leader. 



Premier is a good plant maker in all types of soil, where some other varieties fail, 

 Premier will make an abundant fruiting bed. The plants are strong and healthy and 

 immensely productive, fruit ripens early and bears through a very long season, pro- 

 ducing more quarts per acre than any other standard variety, this is very important 

 as it cuts your production cost per quart, lea\ing a larger margin of profit. 



The fruit is large and attractive, of uniform shape, a glossy, rich red extending 

 clear through the berry, has a bright green cap which stays green to the end of the 

 season and adds much to the beauty of the fruit. The berries have a delicious flavor 

 and are of high quality, are unsurpassed as an early berry for the home garden, roadside 

 or local market and yet they are firm enough to stand shipment to distant markets 

 and arrive in good condition. 



Premier has never failed to make a crop of berries since introduced as due to their 

 hardiness and persistent blooming they are practically frost proof, and in sections 

 where early berries could not be grown because of late frosts. Premier is now grown 

 with great success. 



If, by chance, you have never tried Premier, plant some this year for if you are 

 making money with some other early variety we are sure you will make more with 

 Premier.

The Same Fine Plants and Generous Count

This order means to me that I shall get the 

 same fine plants and generous count I have always 

 got from you for which I am thankful. I am a 

 strawberry booster and I like to notice how your 

 business has grown. The Aberdeen plants you sent

Plants Arrive In Finest Condition 



Dear Sirs: Avondale, Pa., April 4, 1933.

 ever seen. Truly, S. M. Collins. 



Has Grown Berries Since 1857 



Sirs: Ossining, N. Y., May 2, 1938. 



The strawberry plants arrived and are just fine. 

 I have grown strawberries more or less since 1857. 

 When I was 10 years old, my father procured six 

 Agriculturist strawberry plants as a premium with 

 a subscription to a weekly paper. 



Yours for success. H. A. Cornell. 



Over 4,000 Quarts from 3,000 Plants 



Dear Sirs : Germantown, N. Y. 



Two years ago I purchased from you 8,000 

 strawberry plants. They picked 140 buhels (4480 

 quarts). They did so well I am placing my order 

 for 6,000 Premier and 3,500 Lupton plants. I trust 

 I am not too late in placing my order. Will you 

 kindly send them between the 1st and 6th of May. 

 Yours very truly, Clyde Lechtueban.
