HOWARD'S 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 superior in a few 

 localities, but has shown 

 the same high quality, and 

 superiority over the best lead- 

 ing varieties in all the straw- 

 berry growing sections of the country. Mr, Howard, its 

 originator, has stated that it has surpassed the Pre- 

 mier, Howard 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 quality is the most out- 

 standing point. Color, a dark red to the center, and 



fruits a very long season, beginning just after Q 

 Premier, being just a few days later than Premier, ^^ 

 both in starting to ripen, and finishing. Produced on 

 our own fields the past season, 12,000 quarts per acre, 

 while the Premier produced 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. 

 Howard's 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.

 Let me tell you that the Howard's Supreme deserves the name 

 you have given it, as it is Supreme over all that I have ever 

 grown. Large delicious berries and plenty of them.
