~22 _ ALLEN’s Boox oF Berries — 1929 
HOWARD 17 (Premier) 
This variety is identical with Premier. We said so quite a number of years 
ago, but now all growers of any standing recognize the fact. There also seems to 
be little doubt that this variety was originated by Mr. Howard in New England, 
but that he did not keep all of the plants under his control in the first years of the 
variety. Consequently, it has been introduced both as Premier and Howard 17. 
Most New England growers and many growers in other sections feel that in jus- 
tice to Mr. Howard it should still retain his name. However, under whatever 
name the variety is bought or sold, it is the best early berry in the world. For 
full description, see under Premier, pages 20-21. Price-list, page 35. 
SUCCESS. A very early home garden variety. It makes lots of plants that 
have a vigorous, healthy foliage. Plants are very productive of large, fine-looking, 
high quality berries. They are fine for home use but not firm enough for shipping. 
We are growing this variety again because of the call we have from those who 
know and like it. Price-list, page 35.
