PREMIER 
The Best Early Berry 
PREMIER IS FIRST IN POPULARITY in the country, be- 
ing planted on more acres than any other variety. A 
leading variety in the Midwest, all the Middle Atlantic 
and Northeastern states, as far west as Minnesota, and 
as far south as the Carolinas in the higher altitudes. 
THE MOST DEPENDABLE VARIETY for making high 
yields year after year under all kinds of weather; 
adapts itself to all soil and climatic conditions. Prem- 
ier sets so many blossoms under tough, heavy foliage 
that late frosts cannot damage all the bloom; regarded 
by experienced growers and nurserymen as the only 
“frost-proot’ berry. Premier is known as the variety 
that never misses a crop, and consistently makes the 
highest yields of any commercial variety. 
PREMIER IS FIRST ON THE MARKET with a big crop of fine appearing berries, and does it 
under climatic conditions that often kill other varieties. No variety is best in every quality, 
but Premier excells all other varieties for all around superiority. An early variety, it continues 
to bear until most the midseason varieties are about through. 
VIGOROUS GROWTH is characteristic of Premier. It makes a good bed in all types of soil. 
The plants are extremely healthy. The bright red fruit, with healthy green caps and natural 
glossiness makes Premier most attractive. Premier will grow anywhere. Price list, page 28. 
FAIRFAX ovatry or: 
QUALITY OF ALL 
FAIRFAX IS THE BEST HOME GARDEN BERRY. It has 
all the qualities you desire for your table; superb dessert 
flavor, the most delicious of any berry we offer; except- 
ional firmness, and a long fruiting season. 
THE BERRIES ARE BEAUTIES, and average very large. 
The foliage and stems extend well above the ground 
which helps to keep the berries clean. The berries are 
light when they first ripen, but become darker after being 
picked. This does not affect the quality, for the berries 
retain their flavor and firmness. 
THIS IS A HIGH YIELDING VARIETY. The rugged plants 
have beautiful foliage, healthy dark green leaves, and 
often surpass the big yields of Premier and Catskill. 
FAIRFAX HAS A WIDE GROWING RANGE, from Vir- 
ginia and North Carolina, to New England and throughout 
the Midwest. In Maryland Fairfax ripens almost with 
Premier, but comes later, almost midseason, in the north- 
ern states. Price list, page 28. 
CH ES APE AKE THE ARISTOCRAT OF STRAWBERRIES 
FOR BEAUTY AND MARKET QUALITY 
Chesapeake is considered by home gardeners and commercial growers, who know, the 
last word in beauty, color, size, firmness and all around attractiveness in a truly fancy berry. 
Grows best on damp, rich loam, or springy soil, and ripens for market when most late varie- 
ties are through. 
While generally admitted to be a shy plant maker, Chesapeake is now enjoying new 
popularity with users of irrigation. It is nearly frost proof because it blooms late, but in very 
cold climates should be well mulched before hard freezing weather. Chesapeake is truly the 
aristocrat for beauty and shipping quality; the best appearing variety when it gets to market.
