 PREMIER OR 17, leading my Premier or 17 in seTenteen pointe of 

 marked superiority. This ia a big statement for the reaeon that 

 the Premier or 17 has itself achieved such a phenomenal suooess 

 as to become the outstanding American Strawberry. 



If this berry led in Just one or two of the seventeen points 

 of oomparaion it would be a better berry than the Howard's 17 or 

 Premier, but when the statement is made that it azeells In all 

 the seventeen pointe of supremacy it seems almost too good to be 

 true, but such are the facta made dear by comparative teats at 

 the varieua State Experiment stations everywhere.

While this variety was not formally introduced to 

 the public until 1931, it has been grown by the orig- 

 inator, and many of the leading experimental sta- 

 tions throughout the country, since 1909. 



Wherever grown, and by all who have been fortu- 

 nate enough to see and taste it, there has never 

 been anything but praise. We have received hun- 

 dreds of letters from leading Horticulturists 

 throughout the country, congratulating us on being 

 chosen by the originator, Mr. Howard, as the intro- 

 ducers of this most wonderful variety. 



Howard's Supreme Must Be Seen Fruiting 

 To Be Appreciated 

 MR. GEO. M. HOOKER, of Syracuse, N. Y., stated: 



I have driven over three hundred miles to get a look at the 

 "Howard's Supreme." I feel that I am well paid for thf 

 After reading the articles in the leading farm papers I had 

 expected to find an excellent variety. But I have read no 

 reports that have done it justice. It is a truly marvelous 

 variety. I have never seen such loads of fruit borne on 

 plants. I have never seen berries before that equalled tht 

 of this one. And I have never tasted a berry so good to eat 

 in all my life. And I have been growing the best varieties I 

 could get hold of for forty years.
