The Originators of the Howard 17 or Premier and the Howard's 
Supreme desire to say to the Strawberry Growers of America in 
answer to the many inquiries of how dees the new seedling Saprem 
compare with the Premier or 17, THAT I CONSIDER MY HOWARD'S 
SUPREME A MUCH BETTER AND FAR MORE PROFITABLE STRAVZERRY THAN THE 
PREMIER OR 17, leading my Premier or 17 in seventeen points of 
marked superiority. This ig a big statement for the reason that 
the Premier or 17 has itself achieved such 4 phenomenal succecs 
as to become the outstanding Americen Strawberry. 
If this berry led in just one or two of the seventeen points 
of comparsion it would be a better berry than the Howard's 17 or 
Premier, but when the statement is made that it exeells in all 
the seventeen points of supremacy it seems almost too good to be 
true, but such are the facts made clear by comparative teats at 
the various 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 hundreds of 
letters from leading Horticulturists throughout the 
country, congratulating us on being chosen by the 
originator, Mr. Howard, as the introducers of this 
most wonderful variety.

Howard’s Supreme Is Not Over-Rated 
MR. KATSMIRE, of Blair County, Pa., stated: 
I came all the way down to get.a look at this berry that 
you are recommending so highly. I find that you have not 
told half the truth about it. And when I go back home I 
will find my ownself in your place. It is simply impossible 
for anyone to correctly describe such a wonderful variety 
as this. When you stated in your Catalogue that it pro- 
duced more fruit than Premier did, I very much doubted 
that statement. At least I did not think Premier did as 
well for you as it has done for us. But I find you correct. 
No Premier piants could possibly produce such loads of ber- 
ries as I see before my eyes. And when it comes to qual- 
ity, Premier is not in it.
