PAYMASTER «= 
A New Leader in Spring Strawberries 












The Result From a Cross of Two Leading Varieties 
Several years ago we started out to develop a Straw- 
berry that would be as good as the Premier in yield, 
but with a hardier plant, more runners, and a berry 
that would not go to pieces when cooked. 
After crossing different varieties without getting 
what we were after, we crossed the Gem everbearer 
on the Premier. There were over 3,000 seedlings that 
grew from this cross, and from the start there was 
one that was outstanding. We selected this from 
the others and grew it in a fruiting row and found 
that it was just the Strawberry that 
we were after. It’s our Paymaster. 
JUST WHAT WE WERE AFTER 
This new Strawberry, the Paymaster, 
proved to be just the berry we were 
after, a variety that would yield 
like the Premier, but would be more 
resistant to diseases, produce more 
runner plants under average condi- 
tions, and not cook to pieces like the 
Premier in canning, etc. We were 
very fortunate to get just the berry 
we were after. It's our Paymaster.
