PREMIER. 



After another year's trial, we still call Premier the money- 

 making king of all early varieties. We have never found any- 

 thing to anywhere near equal it. Premier has no weak points. 

 It is a vigorous grower, doing well on all types of soil. The plants 

 are enormously productive, commencing early and bearing 

 through a long season. They are beautiful in appearance, hav- 

 ing a glossy,. rich red color extending clear through and a bright 

 green cap. which adds to their beauty. The berries are delicious 

 in quality, and firm enough to ship to distant markets. It has 

 no equal either for home garden, local market or as a shipping 

 berry. Another point valuable to commercial growers is that 

 being a fancy early berry a crop of Premier makes it easier to 

 get pickers at the first of the season, and keep them for late va- 

 rieties, than it would be if you had less desirable early berries or 

 none at all. Mr. A. Muchring of Marion County, Mo., says, "We 

 put out 1,000 of your Premier plants several years ago and have had 

 had two crops and when put on the market, these berries attracted 

 more attention than any other sort in town. They were almost 

 twice the size you claim in your catalog." Mr. E. Corville Tol- 

 son, Queen Anne County, Md., says, "Last May I bought of 

 you 50 Dr. Burrill, 25 Premier, 25 Kellogg's Prize, and 25 Ches- 

 apeake strawberry plants. This season I wish you could have be- 

 held them. I gathered from them 182 quarts heaped up of as 

 fine as ever was raised. Had they all been Premier I would have 

 gotten 300 quarts. Dr. Burrill is good. Premier super extra." 

 Mr. J. M. Donaho, Sumner County, Tenn., says, "Two years ago 

 I bought of you 1,000 Premier. It is by far the finest early berry 

 I have ever tried." We have a fine large stock of Premier, but 

 the demand is enormous, some in every order, so we advise order- 

 ing early. Better miss anything else than Premier. See illus- 

 tration, page 13. 



Wants the Same Kind. 



Dade County, Fla., March 16, 1920. 

 Please quote us price on 500 Brandywine strawberry plants, the same 

 kind you sent Mr Hartman of Little River last spring. We just saw his 

 patch yesterday, and we have never seen finer berries grown. He informed 

 us that he had sold $5,680 worth of berries out of two acres, and started to 

 plant the first of November.
