Still the leading early berry. 
4-504 — A standard of excellence 
with all growers, and the earliest 
worthwhile Strawberry of the older 
varieties. A great money-maker, for it 
yields its fruit crop at a time when 
strawberries are in great demand and 
sell at fancy prices. Premier is as 
nearly frost-proof as any strawberry 
can be. It is unusually healthy, being 
free from leafspot and other diseases. 
Its deep, heavy roots enable it to with- 
stand dry weather and mature a full 
crop of big berries when many varie- 
ties are a complete failure. Large, 
bright red, firm berries of fine texture 
and flavor. 
PRICE: 25 for $1.25; 50 for $2.00; 
100 for $3.00; 250 for $6.50; 500 for 
$9.50; 1,000 for $17.00; 2,000 for 
NO. 50 $32.00; 5,000 for $70.00.

Premier 
4-506 — This berry was originated by John 
Haley of Southern Michigan. It is a cross 
between Premier and Washington. The best 
medium to late—10 days to 2 weeks 
later than Premier. In our 50 some years 
of growing strawberries, Robinson is the 
largest berry we have ever seen — 30 
berries will fill a quart. In fact, one of 
our Montana customers says some of her 
Robinson measure 6 to 6% 
inches in circumference and in- 
quired how much bigger they 
have grown, and one of our yg 
Michigan customers states he @ 
may elect to sell his berries by * 
the dozen — or yard, for just 18 
of the giant Robinson berries 
filled a quart container, and that 
they averaged “six berries to 
the foot.” This variety has been 
grown commercially for the past 
nine years in Michigan; has pro- 
duced a wonderful crop of fruit 
every year under most unfavor- 
able conditions — farmers netted over 
$1,000.00 an acre from this variety. 
Berries are extremely large, and 
honey-sweet. Color is decidedly a car- 
dinal-red, and this berry may be offered 
under this name. Berries have a firm, 
tough skin, making it an excellent ship- 
per to distant markets. 
Excellent plant maker on any soil. 
Premier and Robinson, two of the best 
varieties, will give you berries over the 
entire season. 
Price: 25 for 95c; 50 for $1.65; 100 
for $2.75; 250 for $5.85; 500 for $8.75; 
1,000 for $16.00; 2,000 for $30.00.
