" Certified” Strawberry Plants 
row Better and Bear Better 
Q • A fine early berry, without doubt the most popular standard 
rrCmicr Strawberry in the northwest today. It does well over a wide 
range of territory and on almost any soil, although it pays well to fertilize 
liberally for heavy yields. A very heavy producer, bearing over a long season. 
The berries are good average size, a medium red color and show up w r ell in 
the package. It is firm enough to ship moderate distances and the quality is 
better than most other varieties now generally grown. One outstanding quality 
of Premier is its ability to withstand frost injury at blossoming time. Very 
seldom is the crop injured by frost. We have a moderate amount of “CERTI¬ 
FIED’’ Premier available ths spring. Order early.

“We got 759 16-quart crates, or 12,000 quarts, from our planting of Premier 
this year. 1 measured the bed and found it was 150 square rods, xvhich is less 
than 1 acre.” (Signed) SHELLEY AABY. 
Premier. 
is rapidly becoming popular on account of heavy yield, early season, 
Deavsr good color and excellent shipping quality. The fruit is firm, and red 
clear through, making it especially good for canning as it retains its color in the can. 
The flavor is not as high as Premier but the heavy yield and other 
good qualities make it a desirable Strawberry to plant. Beaver is 
recommended especially for sandy soil as it appears to do better on 
sandy soils than on heavy clay. Plant “CERTIFIED” Beaver. 
PN I A very substantial and dependable medium-season sort 
UUfllap that has had in the past, wide popularity. Berries are 
medium size, bright red clear through and of fair quality. It still has 
many friends, although it is being largely superseded by such varieties 
as Premier and Beaver. 
KlnLnmi^ Medium to late in season. Originated by the Minne- 
nOKOmiS sota State Fruit Breeding Farm and described as 
follows: “A good plant-maker, hardy, very productive, especially valu¬ 
able for home use and local markets. Fruit very large, medium red; 
flesh light red, fine texture, flavor sweet; quality good.” Nokomis has 
not come into general plant- 
Beaver. 
ing because it is too soft for 
shipping and the flesh is rather light red. However, we have found Nokomis to 
be without question the sturdiest, ruggedest, best drought resister of any variety 
now generally grown in the Northwest. It is late enough blooming so it escapes 
early frost. It is deep enough rooted so that in a dry season it holds up better than 
Dunlap, Premier or Beaver. In other words it bears fruit and plenty of it, even 
when others haven’t any. It is a money-maker for those selling fruit on the 
vine or to local stores. We do not recommend it for shipping nor as the most 
fancy quality fruit, but it is recommended as a sure cropper and a real money¬ 
maker for selling berries on the vine or to a local market. Our recommendation 
is to include “CERTIFIED” Nokomis for your late berry. Even under un¬ 
favorable conditions you can be quite sure of Nokomis. 
Eveleth, Minn. 
“From 350 Nokomis we picked 294 quarts besides some we used ourselves. 
The berries are very large, sweet, and juicy. Even the last of the berries ripened 
perfectly. We consider Nokomis an ideal berry for our location.” 
Yours very truly,
