PREMIER 
Premier. The very best of all extra-early varieties. We 
have never found anything to equal it. Berries are large, 
beautifully formed, bright red thru and thru. It is deli¬ 
cious in flavor and a splendid shipper. We have fruited 
it three years and consider it the money-making king of 
all early varieties. It produces a very heavy crop and you 
.Id plant heavily, whether growing for home use, local 
• - *vet or distant shipment. If Premier lias any weak 
points, we have not found them and we advise all those 
in sections where early berries are in demand (o include 
Premier, whether setting fifty plants or lifty thousand. 
We are go,ing to plant heavily of Premier for fruit. That 
is our recommendation of it. Price $10 per thousand.
