with tough skin, firm flesh, and flavor. 
In shape, slightly blunted at the point, 
conical, with broad shoulders. Its bright 
green cap curls upward when the fruit 
ripens, making it easy to pick and hull.

crops of large berries. Due to its firm 
flesh and tough skin, Blakemore has prov- 
en a wonderful long distance shipper. It

without bleeding. Retains its bright red 
color long after picking. Will thrive on 
the poorer soils and stand extreme weather 
conditions. Prices, 25 plants 95c; 50 for

PREMIER 
EXTRA EARLY---FROST PROOF | 
Premier is the greatest extra 
early strawberry of all times. 
It ripens ahead of all other var- 
ieties, the fruit is rich in color, 
fine in texture, excellent in fla- 
vor, and of unusual quality for 
shipping. Foliage is 
tough and _ healthy, 
covering blossoms 
and berries and pro- 
tecting them from 
frost and_ scalding 
sun. The plants are 
sturdy, and long root- 
ed, a good drought re- 
sister. While Pre- 
mier ripens early, it 
is very resistant to 
frost and matures its 
heavy crop of berries 
so that they can be 
marketed while prices 
are the highest. No 
other variety will give 
you more pleasure, 
Perfect: flowering: Prices, 25 plants $1.05; 50 for $1.85; 100
