PREMIER (Howard 17). A Great Favorite 
Early. Perfect Flowering 
This grand variety hardly needs description, for nearly every 
one who has grown strawberries knows its merits. It posibly has 
made more friends than any other variety. It has succeeded 
over a wider range of territory than any other variety. Premier 
has the ability to withstand late frosts at blossoming. This is 
one reason why it is so popular in the Northern states. 
Premier produces an abundant crop of moderately firm, med¬ 
ium sized, delicious berries. The color is a bright red. Its des¬ 
sert qualities are of a high standard. It will withstand shipping 
moderate distances. 
’ The foliage is healthy, and makes an abundant bed in fertile 
soils. It could be thinned profitably. 
We have a very limited supply of exceedingly fine plants, so 
if you want Premier, better get your order in early.
