be misled into paying fancy prices for this variety, but let us reserve yours now at one of the lowest prices

The most outstanding variety at the present time. Has 
been tried and tested for the past 15 years and has never 
failed to produce a wonderful crop of fruit regardless of 
climatic conditions. With the twelve weeks of drought we 
had last summer, Premier was the only variety that came 
through with a good fair crop, bringing a fancy price on all 
markets—$2.50 to $3.50 a crate for the first pickings, averaging 
gross net of five to seven hundred dollars per acre. You 
surely cannot go wrong in 
planting this grand old va' 
riety—it is one of the best. 
Premier is so well known, firm and of 
such excellent quality, that buyers 
everywhere are willing and anxious to 
snap up every available quart of bet 
ries, paying a premium price for this 
fancy, early fruit. 
Premier ripens extra early, bears 
rich bright red berries; of very best 
flavor. Practically frostproof on ac' 
count of its heavy foliage. 
Our stock of Premier is from the 
original, heavydruiting strain, beat 
ing our true'to-name guarantee.
