Vigorous Grower, Good Plant Maker, Heavy Producer 



Howard's Supreme was originated by A. B. Howard Sons, 

 Belchertown, Mass., who also originated the Premier ^Howard- 

 17 J . Since introduction by E. W. Townsend Sons in 1931, it has 

 been an outstanding money making variety in most of the large 

 berry growing sections and especially in the Northern states. 



Howard's Supreme ripens about the same time as Premier. 

 The quality of the fruit is of the best, being sweet and having 

 very little acid. In yield it outranks any variety on our list, 

 producing at the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Station 

 Farms, Mount Carmel, Conn., Spring 1932, at the rate of 15,110 

 quarts per acre. The fruit is exceptionally large and of dark red, 

 very firm, sweet and a good shipper. Fruits over a long season, 

 fully as long as Premier. Howard's Supreme being an imperiect 

 flowering variety and a heavy producer, should be well pol- 

 lenized by plantmg with equal rows (2 rows each; such varieties 

 as Premier, Aberdeen, Fairfax or Dorsett. 



Plant as many Howard Supreme as you can buy. Y-ru simply 

 can't go wrong with this wonderful, dividend-producing berry.
