HOWARDS SUPREME 

 ( imperfect ) This new 

 introduction is right- 

 ly named, because it 

 stands supreme over 

 the most promising new 

 standard varieties. It has 

 not only proved itself su- 

 perior in a few localities, but 

 has shown the same high qual- 

 ity, and superiority over the best 

 leading varieties in all the strawberry growing 

 sections of the country. Mr. Howard, its originator, 

 has stated that it has surpassed the Premier, How- 

 ard 17 in seventeen ways. This fact, alone, is proof 

 enough of its worthiness. Howard's Supreme is a 

 strong vigorous grower on all soils and in all 

 climates. Stands at the top of all varieties in 

 productiveness. Fruit large to extra large in size, 

 firm enough to be classed as one of the very best 

 shipping varieties. Quality unequaled, in fact qual- 

 ity is the most out-standing point. Color, a dark 

 rei to the center, and fruits a very long season, 

 beginning just after Premier, being just a few days 

 later than Premier, both in starting to ripen, and 



finishing. Produced on our own fields the past sea- 

 son, 12,000 quarts per acre, while the Premier pro- 

 duced 8,500 in alternate rows along side of it. Fruit 

 averaged from fifty cents to a dollar per crate over 

 Premier during the whole season. 



Howards Supreme, being an imperfect bloomer, 

 and a heavy producer, should be well polinized by 

 planting equal rows (two rows of each) of such 

 varieties as Premier, Aberdeen, Jupiter, Fruitland 

 or some other extra good perfect flowering sorts of 

 its season. If you have not planted Howard's 

 Supreme, try some this season. We are sure that 

 you will not be disappointed. 



Howard's Supreme Leads Them All 



Gumboro, Delaware, 

 November 2nd, 1932. 

 I had better than three acres of Howard's Supreme to fruit 

 on my farm the past season, and can frankly say that it led 

 all other varieties I had fruiting, notwithstanding the fact 

 I had varieties that have been the leaders for years such as. 

 Premier, Big Joe, Chesapeake, Lupton and Gandy. It out- 

 yielded them all, and was the best in QUALITY.
