For A Quarter Century Premier Has Been The Most Dependable 



And Profitable Early Berry 



Is Still As Fine As Ever 



The most popular and profitable early berry in the northeastern and 

 central states. Premier is so well known it is hardly necessary to de- 

 scribe it, and Rayner's high yield Premier are so well liked in all areas 

 where it is grown that for the past 17 years we have had orders for more 

 Premier than any other variety. Which clearly shows the growers ap- 

 proval of Premier as a variety and of Rayner's Premier for highest yield 

 and biggest profit. 



The dependability of Premier and its consistent high yields largely 

 account for this continued popularity. Premier has never failed to make 

 a crop since introduced over a quarter of a century ago, and that is sure- 

 ly an enviable record of performance. For sure results plant Rayner's 

 Premier. We have a good supply of strong, thrifty plants that will really 

 give results. 



Growth — Vigorous, makes good fruiting bed in all types of soil, very 

 disease resistant. 



Size — First berries average very large, will run down toward the end 

 of the season as so many berries are set on each plant. 



Firmness — Berries firm enough for truck shipment but will not stand 

 long refrigeration. 



Frost Resistance — Premier blooms so profusely on short stems under 

 foliage that frost cannot damage all blooms, and has never failed to make 

 a crop. 



Quality and FlaVor — Good in North and Northeastern States, not the 

 best in Southern sections. 



Productiveness — Premier is the leader, under general conditions.

 lJUUIlliailll Southland has Allied a definite need for a home 

 garden or local market berry for the South of exceptionally high dessert 

 quality, beauty and large size. While not sufficiently firm for general 

 planting as a commercial variety, many growers have found Southland 

 more profitable than the regular commercial sorts when properly grown 

 and carefully handled. Southland is a vigorous variety, making a well- 

 spaced bed of medium large plants ; the foliage is dark green and glossy, 

 free from leaf spot and scorch. The fruit is large, uniform and glossy, 

 with depressed seed. Color a medium light red to the center, and this 

 color is retained until very over-ripe. Finest dessert quality and flavor.
