PLANT GROWTH: The demand 
for this variety last spring proves 
that it is still the most popular ear¬ 
ly berry yet introduced. I regret¬ 
ted that I was unable to fill all ord¬ 
ers for this variety last spring, 
ier plants for the spring orders as 
lave to disappoint you. 
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.

Plants received yesterday in fine condition and wonderful, nice 
plants. I will say to any one who want nice plants and quick service 
to get them from you. I am not an amateur. Have been growing 
berries 48 years. Many thanks. W. C. Karsner.
