Right here we want to brag a little. We honestly believe our Premier plants this year are the best to be found anywhere. The field of plants we used for setting in 1941 was rigidly inspected and found free from red stele, spring dwarf and other injurious insects and diseases. It was so vigorous that runner plants had covered the ground almost solidly. As would be expected, we have this year from this stock the best beds of Premier of anybody in this section. In spite of the very severe drought, we have several acres of plant beds just as good as the one pictured here. With the drought the individual plants may not be quite as pretty as usual, but this stock has proved its ability to "take it" and come through like a Champion. IT'S SAFE TO STICK WITH ALLEN'S PREMIER. If Premier has a weakness it arises from the fact that it sets so many berries. Normally they are medium to large in size, but in very dry years, especially in places where beds are densely set, the plants cannot size up all of the tremendous crop which it produces. This same factor of great productiveness may be a big asset in sections where weevil or other insects claim a part of the crop. Furthermore, it is when this tremendous productiveness of Premier finds conditions of soil fertility and moisture favorable, that Records are made for yields and to make beds like these in such a dry year. PRODUCTIVENESS, PREMIER ZJhere'j the cAndwer Here is a letter from Mr. Arthur R. Garner, of Washington Co., Pa. It is typical of many we receive from Northern States, and explains exactly why we sell more than twice as many Premier plants as any other variety. Mr. Garner writes: "I am certainly proud to say that from the 2,000 plants I ordered from you in 1939 I produced one of the best berry patches in my n
