J. H. Shivers Plant Farms, Allen, Maryland 
9 
A field of Premier as fine as anyone can offer, regardless of price. 
PLANT GROWTH: There is 
very little I need to say about this 
variety which so far has been 
favorably tested in every state and 
in Canada. From the people I have 
talked with in the different states, 
I find it still holds first place. I predict that the demand for Premier 
plants will still be heavy. 
Premier not only does well over a large territory but it will grow 
on nearly all types of soil, producing a good growth of plants that is 
as near frost proof as any variety yet originated. 
SIZE, QUALITY AND PRODUCTIVENESS: The berries are a med¬ 
ium red in color, have a medium size green cap that will stay green 
throughout the season under favorable conditions. I still think a 
a quart of Premier berries that have been grown right and picked well 
has a very handsome appearance and is attractive as any variety in 
its box. The quality will compare well with most other varieties. It 
is moderately firm and looks well. Good for local market or long 
truck shipments but do not advise it for ice shipments. 
If you are going to set strawberry plants this spring I am sure 
you will still plant some Premier. I have the plants that are grown 
and shipped to you under my own supervision. If you want good 
plants, good service, moderately priced, I have both so I hope to re¬ 
ceive your order to convince yom
