Surprise your Neighbors 



— just as F. A. Howard did 



THE most deliciously flavored of all berries is the wild strawberry 

 that grows in June meadows. 



Eight years ago a New England scientist determined to increase the 

 size of these fragrant miniature red drops of lusciousness. 



For three years he worked patiently, cross-fertilizing the wild plants 

 and garden berries of the largest size — until finally, he produced what 

 has been called the most surprising strawberry ever grown, F. A. 

 Howard's "Wild Wonder." 



Newspapers throughout the United States illustrated and described it. Plant 

 breeders came to see it. With ordinary field cultivation one thousand baskets of 

 glorious fruit were grown on one eighth of an acre. They sold, at sight, in the Boston 

 market, for double the price of any other strawberry. 



Like the wild strawberry, the fruit is borne on high spray-stems. Many of the 

 berries are six inches in circumference. The plants seem to grow equally well on 

 gravelly inclines or in muddy soil. They are vigorous, and yield enormously through- 

 out a long season. 



Strong and vigorous potted plants will 

 be ready to ship during July and August. 

 The price per dozen is $6. 



Only a small quantity can be spared for 

 each purchaser, but each 

 plant will develop many 

 healthy young ones, so you 

 can have a large and produc- 

 tive patch next spring. Or- 

 ders should be sent promptly, 

 to arrive before the supply 

 runs short. 



Each berry is the delicious 

 wild strawberry of your boy- 

 hood — marvelously flavored 

 and fragrant. Grown to 

 giant size. Send check or 

 money order. Address:
