Our strain of Premier plants is so 

 very fine that we do not have any 

 trouble getting a nice plant bed. With 

 over twenty-five acres to choose from 

 we have for years selected plants from 

 our strongest, most vigorous growing 

 rows for our own setting. If you have 

 been having any trouble getting an 

 adequate bed of Premier, why not try 

 our strain of SELECTED PREMIER 

 PLANTS? 



If Premier has a weakness it arises 

 from the fact that it sets so many 

 berries. Normally they are medium to 

 large in size, but in very dry years, 

 especially in places where beds are 

 densely set, the plants cannot size up 

 all of the tremendous crop which it 

 produces. 



The opinion of Mr. William A. 

 Hoopengardner of Fulton Co., Penn- 

 sylvania, is typical of many good berry 

 growers who have used our Premier 

 plants. He wrote us March 24th, 1939, 

 as follows: *'Here is my order for 2,000 

 Premier strawberry plants. I have 

 been a strawberry grower for the past 

 15 years and find Premier the best 

 strawberries that grow." 



An example of the ability of Premier 

 to stand cold, frosty weather is fur- 

 nished by Mr. Edward Huff of Greene 

 Co., Ohio, who writes: "If it had not 

 been for Premier I would not have had 

 anything last spring. We had a freeze 

 on the 11th of May that just about 

 cleaned out most other varieties. It 

 froze ice one-fourth inch thick, but in 



Mr. Martin Taft and a prize quart of Premier 

 berries 



spite of all this Premier made a fair 

 crop. I bought my first plants of you 

 in 1904 and I have always gotten the 

 best plants I ever saw from you." 



*'Last spring, we sold over $400.00 

 worth of fruit from the 6,000 Premier 

 plants we bought of you," writes Mr. 

 Martin Taft of Erie Co., New York. 

 *'I am sending you a picture of a quart 

 so you can see how nice they are. There 

 are only 9 berries on the top layer as 

 you can see." 



With good soil and ample moisture 

 the crop that Premier produces is a joy 

 to behold and a source of much profit 

 for the grower. We believe it will pay 

 you to order this variety freely. Price

These Premier plants will surely do well
