| he INTRODUCING this variety, which is possi- 
bly the best variety of strawberries, of the 
standard class ever offered the public, we deeply 
appreciate the honor of being selected by Mr. 
Howard as being the introducers and sole dis- 
tributors of this grand variety which is sure to 
mean millions of dollars in extra profits to the 
strawberry growers throughout the country. 
In practically every case where HOWARD'S 
SUPREME has been tested (and it has been 
grown by a good many Experiment Stations from 
10 to 15 years), it has proven not only equal to 
Premier, but in practically every instance has 
proven better in every respect. HOWARD’S 
SUPREME can only be appreciated when seen 
growing and fruiting. 
Some of its outstanding features: 
In plant growth it is truly a wonder. 
healthy, vigorous grower. 
strong fruiting stems. Foliage simply beautiful. 
Season early to late, being a long crop variety 
that holds size well throughout the season. 
In size it is large to extra large, most berries 
Strong, 
Plants upright, with 
being of a uniform size and shape. In color it is 
a deep red through and through. In quality it is 
equal to any variety on the list. Some of the 
Horticulturists who have grown it for years claim 
that it is equal to Marshall. In firmness it is 
classed as the very best. 
Will equal Premier (Howard 17) in produc- 
tiveness, and in many states has proven from 
15 to 25 per cent more productive than Premier. 
For further descriptions we refer to Mr. How- 
ard, the originator, and several of the leading 
Horticulturists of the different states. 
We were very fortunate in having our stock of 
HOWARD’S SUPREME grown under irrigation 
this year. We have a fine stock of these plants, 
as will be seen from illustration on back page. 
Everyone who receives this catalog—that is 
interested in Strawberries—should place order 
for at least 25 to 100 plants of this variety; also 
same amount of Jupiter, for we consider this pair 
the greatest introduction ever made to the straw- 
berry world. For Prices, see page 30.
