• A fine early berry, without doubt the most popular 
l"©nni©r Standard Strawberry in the Northwest today. It does 
well over a wide range of territory and on almost any soil, although it 
pays well to fertilise liberally for heavy yields. A very heavy producer, 
bearing over a long season. The berries are good average size, a med- 
ium red color and show up well in the package. It is firm enough to 
ship moderate distances and the quality is better than most other va- 
rieties 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 this spring. Order early.

“We got 759 16-quart crates, or 12,000 quarts, from our planting of Premier 
this year. I measured the bed and found it was 150 square rods, which is less 
than one acre.” (Signed) SHELLEY AABY. 
Nokomis 
q Is rapidly becoming popular on account of heavy yield, early season, good color and excellent 
Deaver 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 espe- 
dally for sandy soil as it appears to do better on sandy soils 
than on heavy clay. Plant “CERTIFIED” Beaver, 
rv I A very substantial and dependable medium-seas- 
LsUniap on sort 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superseded by such varieties as Premier and Beaver. 
Medium to late in season. Originated by the 
Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm and de- 
scribed as follows: “A good plant-maker, hardy, very produc¬ 
tive, especially valuable for home use and local markets. Fruit 
very large, medium red; 
flesh light red, fine tex¬ 
ture, flavor sweet; quality good.” Nokomis has not come into general 
planting 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 on the vine or to the local stores. We do not recommend 
it for shipping nor as the most fancy quality fruit, but it is recommend¬ 
ed 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 “CERTI¬ 
FIED” Nokomis for your late berry. Even under unfavorable condi¬ 
tions 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, (Signed) H. JANTZEN.
