PREMIER 30 ife42A4> wlUt044t a c^icfL j^ulu^! Premier is by a wide margin the most popular strawberry in the middle and northern states. Premier's territory reaches south into the higher altitudes of North Carolina and Tennessee, west across the Mississippi valley, and north into Canada. The more severe the climate, the more secure is Premier leadership. This Premier leadership was gained quickly after it was first introduced in 1915. It has been retained tenaciously in spite of all the wonderful new varieties like Fairfax, Catskill, Redstar, Midland, etc., introduced since then.
