PREMIER STRAWBERRY 
The biggest money maker of June varieties. Undoubtedly the best extra early strawberry in 
existence. Produces a large berry of uniform shape and size, excellent quality, rich color. We 
recommend Premier for all soils, climate and growing conditions. While Premier is an early 
berry, it blossoms late, the blossoms being well covered with foliage so there is no more danger 
of its freezing than a mid-season or late variety. These qualities make Premier one of the most 
valuable market varieties. A good planting should give you the first berries on the market when 
they command the highest prices. 
PRICES—25 for 40c; 50 for 60c; 100 for 85c; 250 for $1.60; 500 for $2.75; 1000 for $5.50.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE 
Soil Requirements—Medium loam, well drained, gently sloping is preferred. Clover or Alfalfa sod, 
or any soil with plenty humus will do. If Timothy sod is used, it should be fall plowed to control 
white grubs. , , _. , . , . , 
Preparation of Soil — Fall plowing is preferred. It early spring plowing is done the soil should be 
worked to a fine texture. Ordinary barnyard manure is the best fertilizer for .strawberries. 
Planting—Only one-year plants should be used. Set them just as early in spring as possible. If 
not ready to set when they arrive, heel them in, opening bunches, placing plants in a trench and packing 
soil firmly around roots to prevent drying out. All surplus leaves should be removed and roots should 
be slightly trimmed off. Cultivation should begin as soon as possible after planting and occasional 
hoeing close to plants should be done. All blossoms should be removed from plants as soon as they 
begin to form. Early in winter after the ground freezes a layer of straw*, marsh hay or any other 
leafy material should be spread over plants at the rate of about two tons per acre. If commercial 
fertilizer is used, we recommend Acid Phosphate, using about 200 pounds to the acre, or a complete 
fertilizer such as’ 4-16-4. Set. plants in rows 3% to 4 feet apart, with plants set from 12 to 18 inches 
apart in row, requiring about 8,000 plants per acre. If more detailed information is desired, write us. 
RASPBERRY CULTURE 
Raspberries should be planted in good soil 3 to 4 feet apart in the row with the rows ft feet 
apart, requiring approximately 2500 plants to the acre. Black raspberries should be set so the bud 
in center of mass of roots is covered only one inch deep. Don’t bury the center bud too deep, as this 
will smother the plant. Red raspberries should be set 1 or 2 inches deeper than they were in the nursery 
row. Cut back all raspberries as soon as planted to within 6 inches or less of the ground. Don t let 
any fruit set the first year. Cut out old canes after fruiting. Spray raspberries in spring, just before 
buds open, with lime-sulphur or Bordeaux mixture.
