5,000. They bri^ig extra money and satisfy. What we think is this. Premier 
100%; flavor common, but sell well in any market. Dorsett 75%; flavor fine. 
Fairfax 65%; flavor great.” 
Mr. E. R. Sigmon, of Illinois (whose letter is printed more fully on page 
28), picked 1,536 quarts of Premier from 1,000 plants set. That rate is at least 
10,000 quarts per acre. Two Pennsylvania growers report other fine yields. 
Mr. Howard Henry of Northampton County says, “I had 1,000 Premier and they 
surely have done wonderfully. We picked 38 crates not counting the berries 
for home use and I am still picking (July 8, 1940). I’ll get two crates of nice 
berries today.” Mr. John E. Hunter of Cambria County reported, “On a meas¬ 
ured plot 40 x 160 feet, Allen’s Premier and Fairfax produced 1,000 quarts for me.” 
All over the North berry growers have found Premier their most depend¬ 
able berry. From Cumberland County, Maine, Mr. Sydney B. Thomas writes 
of a wonderful crop of Premier which he says “has already proved itself.” And 
from Ohio comes words of Mr. Earl Osman. “Have been setting out the Premier 
for six years and find none that can equal them”. 
For beginners as 
well as those who 
are “old hands at 
the business” Pre¬ 
mier can be de¬ 
pended on to pro¬ 
duce big crops of 
berries. As quoted 
from Maine in the 
preceding para¬ 
graph, “Premier 
has proved itself.”
