Premier not only does well over. a large territory but 1s will grow ‘on 
nearly all types of soil, producing a good growth of plants that are as near 
frost proof as any variety yet originated. 
SIZE, QUALITY AND PRODUCTIVENESS. The berries are a medium 
red in color, have a’ medium size green cap that will stay green throughout 
the season under favorable conditions. T still think 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.
