Bountiful Ridge Strawberry Plants Are Superior 
) Pp R E; M. I E; R LEADS ALL STRAWBERRIES IN 
NORTHERN PRODUCING AREAS 
An Old Favorite And Possibly The World's Greatest Strawberry 
Frost-Proof, Productive And Dependable 
OUR SELECTED PREMIERS ARE THE SURE 
MONEY MAKERS FOR THE CENTRAL 
AND NORTHERN AREAS. 
No strawberry ever introduced has brought the returns to 
the grower that the Premier has, and it still stands unchal- 
lenged as a real money-maker. It has’a record very hard to 
equal as an early market berry, and we cannot say too many 
good things about it. Consider these important facts about 
the Premier and you can readily understand why we say this 
about it. Until the introduction of the Blakemore it had no 
equal as a variety that would adapt itself to most all soil and 
climatic conditions, whether the soil was sandy, clay, loam or 
rocky, whether it was planted in North Carolina, Mass., or II1., 
you always had an abundance of new plants that were thrifty 
and disease free. The land does not have to be rich. Of 
course, it will do better on good soils, but even on compara- 
tively poor soil Premier always makes a showing for you. It 
can be considered almost frostproof. It has never failed in a 
crop in this section since it was introduced. The berries 
average large and hold up well under heavy crops and un- 
tavorable seasonable conditions; it ripens over a comparatively 
long period, from two to three weeks: the berries have an 
attractive bright red color and unusual quality that is sur- 
passed by Chesapeake and possibly Red Gold. It is moderate- 
ly firm and will carry well to markets up to three hundred 
miles and further if handled properly. It is the best of the 
tried and proven early varieties. As an assurance of next 
year’s income. PLANT AN ACRE OR MORE OF BOUNTIFUL

HOWARD 1%. Conceded by all eminent horticulturists to be 
Premier, America’s Most Popular Berry the same as Premier. 
ie: ONE OF THE VERY GOOD MID- 
SEASON BERRIES 
IT HAS PROVEN ITS RIGHT AS A LEADER OF MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
A vigorous grower; somewhat frost resistant, extremely productive, equaling Dorsett and Premier; berries very large, 
firm and good quality. 
The Catskill is a product of the New York Experiment Station, being a cross between Marshall and Premier. It has 
proven up under test for the past many years and is now recognized as one of the best mid-season berries in cultivation. 
The foliage is healthy in this latitude. It is a good plant mak-r and has proved to be extremely productive. The berries 
are as large as Big Joe and Chesapeake and of good quality although not rated quite up to Premier and Fairfax. We 
strongly recommend Catskill for this and more Northerly sections. 
Yow! TEMPLE 
Seldom does a New Introduction attain the immediate approval accorded the Temple. Large Size—Heavy 
Production—Excellent Quality and resistant to Red Stele combine to recommend it. Has been successfully 
grown and produced from North Carolina to Southern New York with outstanding results. 
Temple berries have proved firm and good ship- 
pers, leading many local auction markets as much 
as $3.00 per 24 qt. crate. 
1952 AGAIN PROVED A BANNER YEAR 
FOR TEMPLE—GIVE THEM A TRIAL. 
The Temple is a U. S. D. A. cross between Aberdeen 
and Fairfax made in 1938 under number 84-AF. In 1939 
it was selected by Dr. Temple and named in his honor. 
The Temple is an exceptionally vigorous variety, makes 
a dense bed of unusually tall plants. The foliage is 
highly resistant to leaf scorch disease. It is quite pro- 
ductive and nearly as early as Blakemore. The berries 
are large, blunt conic, smooth, uniform and have large 
attractive caps. The dessert quality is good. Thus far 
the shipping tests have shown it to be well suited to 
long distance transportation. From our observations of 
the variety it seems to be well adapted to moist fertile 
soil and has so far proven entirely immune to Red Stele 
root rot disease. It has not been injured by cold and 
frosts in seasons when other varieties have been seri- 
ously injured. Temple is very promising and should be : 
given a trial in all strawberry producing sections. THE TEMPLE BERRY
