PREMIER— The Great Early Variety 



The Most Popular Early Standard Berry. 



All the good things that can be said about a strawberry can 

 be said about Premier. No strawberry yet introduced has brought 

 the returns to growers thas Premier has and it still stands un- 

 challenged as a real money maker. With the possible exception 

 of Blakemore it stands alone for adaptability to any type of soil 

 or climate, producing enormous yields under most adverse con- 

 ditions. 



Premier makes an abundant plant growth for a good fruiting bed, of 

 strong, healthy plants, which are very productive, fruit ripening early and 

 bearing through a very long season. No variety produces more quarts of 

 fancy berries per acre, this is very important with present low prices which 

 makes it necessary to keep production costs down as low as possible. Fruit 

 is very large and attractive, a bright red with a gi^een cap which stays gi'een 

 to the end of the season and adds much to the beauty of the fruit. It is' 

 almost frost-proof and has never failed to make a crop in this section since 

 first introduced, holds up well even during a very unfavorable season and in 

 extremely wet weather if kept picked closely will come through on the profit 

 side of your ledger. A firm berry that will stand shipment to distant markets 

 in good condition and yet of such exceptionally fine quality that is is un- 

 surpassed as an early berry for home garden or local market. 



To insure your next year's income plant a patch, an acre or five acres of 

 Rayner Brothers' Premier for you are sure to get results whether your 

 planting be large or small. 



Dear Sirs: Bradford Co., Pa., April 25, 1931. 



We received the 2,000 Premier and 500 Chesapeake strawberry plants 

 in excellent condition. They were a fine lot of plants and we thank you for 

 their prompt delivery on the 15th as ordered. The Premier, Senator Dunlap 

 and Chesapeake plants I ordered of you in 1930 are in fine condition this 

 spring in spite of last year's drought. Yours truly, 



Alfred Hulslander.
