PREMIER T/ie frost Proof Berry For many years Premier has been the most popular and widely planted variety in all the northern and northeastern states. Premier was introduced in 1915 and very quickly took the lead. The immense popularity of Premier is due to its ability to produce SURE CROPS AND BIG CROPS. Until very recently nearly all of the records for high yields and high profits in its area were made by Premier. Today Premier's leadership is being challenged by Catskill, Empire, Sparkle and Robinson with several other new varieties coming along. The best territory for Premier extends from the high altitudes in Tennessee and North Carolina all the way to Canada. However, it is admitted that Premier berries grown in the southern and middle states are not generally as desirable as those grown farther north. Premier berries are very attractive in appearance and are popular in most northern markets. While not the best looking nor the highest priced, Premier berries sell well and the volume assures a profit. Premier berries have been favorably accepted by the processors. The quality is good, not as high as Fairfax, Empire and Sparkle but better than Robinson and Blakemore. No variety has healthier foliage. Premier is almost completely free from foliage troubles. This was true even after virus and other factors weakened most Premier stocks so that it was difficult to get a good fruiting bed. Vigorous strains of regular Premier which do a good fruiting bed are still available. However, a large percentage of Premier plants now offered for sale are from the vigorous new virus free Premier stocks. These look slightly different from the regular Premier. Foliage is more vigorous and upstanding and runner production is greater. Berri
