Premier is a strawberry cultivar listed as a good June bearing type for South Dakota home fruit gardens. In the surviving South Dakota Fruit Garden sources, it appears alongside Dunlap and Howard and is noted as "Minnesota 1922." The sources link it with Minnesota and that date, but do not explain whether this refers to introduction, selection, or publication history. [S1] [S2]
The available sources are recommendation oriented rather than descriptive. They present Premier as a cultivar worth planting in a cold climate fruit garden and place it within hardy strawberry recommendations in South Dakota extension guidance. [S1] [S2] The packet does not give a fuller fruit description, parentage, breeder, season beyond its June bearing class, or detailed notes on flavor, plant habit, yield, or disease. [S1] [S2]
In Pomologica's broader cold climate record, Premier appears as an early twentieth century named strawberry preserved in prairie extension literature as a practical garden choice rather than a heavily described cultivar. Its importance here is simple: it was remembered as one of the standard June bearing strawberries suitable for northern growers, and it carries the surviving historical tag "Minnesota 1922." [S1] [S2]
