- - PREMIER (Howard 17) 



This is the nearest perfect strawberry we have ever seen. 

 Has been tested in every nook and corner of the United States 

 and is good everywhere. 



For home use there is nothing better, and as a market var- 

 iety is the greatest money maker of them all. 



It has been proven that Premier and Howard 17 are one 

 and the same, and that it was originated by the Howards, ot 

 Hampshire County, Mass., and was tested by them tor several 

 years before being put on the market. We think that the right 

 'i.ame should be HOW.^RD'S PREMIER. What do you say? 



I.UI'TON I.ATK (I'lT) 



Is fast buc'omini; the liiti' slandnnl vuricty in New .Iur.tc.v »» " niiiiUi'l. 

 vark'ly. TnkinK Ihf plnc'C of such vni-ictics us Cht'supwikf, (llun Mar.v, 

 Gandy, Ktc. Is a slrciiii;, hardy ki-dwct, very productive, fruit larifi', liriuht 

 red, and firm. Owinc to its extra firnincHS it is not as ijood to the taste as 

 some varieties, but for a show berry on the market and one In stand up for 

 days in transit it has but few equals. 



TOWNSEND'S BIG LATE (Im:i) 



We have selected Big Luto, 

 For the Ford's Mate, 

 It is firm and sweet 

 And hard to beat. 

 When planted together the two 

 Will be surpassed by very tew. 



We consider that Big Late i.s the 

 most perfect of any late pvstdlatc 

 variety we have ever seen. We 

 have "grown and fruited it for 

 many years in all kinds of soil 

 and have never failed to get a big 

 crop of big, red, firm, sweet, de- 

 licious berries. Ls a strong, har- 

 dy grower, plants tall with long 

 fruiting stems that hold the ber- 

 ries well off the ground. Big Late 

 is unsurpassed for quality and is 

 as near frost proof as it is possi- 

 ble to get. Being an imperfect 

 flowering variety, it is not effect- 

 ed by bugs (or strawberry beetle) 

 Big Late and Ford are sure mort- 

 gage lifters.
