PREMIER 
Scjut £ewiy 1/o*i Can Plant 
BIG CROPS FOR THIRTY-TWO STRAIGHT YEARS 
Most popular berry in all the Premier territory. This includes all 
he middle and northern states, as far south as Virginia and the high 
altitudes of North Carolina and Tennessee; west across the Mississippi 
valley and north into Canada. The more severe the climate the more 
secure is Premier leadership. During the last few years various state 
experiment stations and the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture have developed 
and listed thousands of new seedlings out of which eight or 10 excel- 
lent new varieties have finally been selected. In the territory indicated 
Premier is the one variety that these new selections have to beat. Some 
of them, in certain parts of the area, are replacing Premier to some 
extent but in the over-all picture Premier is still the Number One berry. 
As a matter of fact, Premier is either the parent or grandparent of prac- 
tically every single one of today's leading new varieties.
