Premier—Has Not Missed a Crop in Over 20 Years remier Premier was introduced in 1915. It has so many good qualities that it spread in popular favor very rapidly, soon replacing most other early berries except in the far West and far South. Premier is still recognized as the one early berry which any new variety has to surpass in order to become established. For sheer hardiness and persistence in producing a crop every year regardless of conditions no variety, early or late, ranks with Premier. It is a sure cropper, widely adapted and tremendously productive. At their best Dorsett and Fairfax will equal Premier in productive- ness and surpass it in quality, size and appearance of the berries. However, Premier will produce satisfactory crops under severe conditions that have cut the production of both Dorsett and Fairfax. We think growers who raise strawberries regularly should try out Dorsett and Fairfax with cultural practices suited to those varieties. The possibilities of them are too great to overlook. However, we think growers who have made money consistently with Premier should continue to grow it for their main crop until others prove superior by actual test. Premier is a grand old variety, well worth the high place given it. Vigor and Health of Plant Growth The foliage growth of Premier is very healthy, [n most localities it makes an ample growth for i good fruiting bed. In fact in some places it ^ets entirely too thick; in others it does not make ;nough plants. It has been suggested that the .vide adaptability of Premier is apparently re- ated to its rather limited production of runner nants, and those produced early in the season, improvement in yield and grade of Premier )erries from proper spacing of plants (see page .4) will probably not be as marked as with freer growing- varieti
