Premier — The finest ear 



foliage resisted the rust. Under those conditions there were three berries that stood 

 out above the rest of the field. Premier and Chesapeake were vastly better than 

 any other berries, and Big Joe considerably better than any except Premier and 

 Chesapeake. . , 



Summing it all up we would say that if you are going to grow strawberries, 

 you can't afford to leave out Premier. If you can make some money with other 

 varieties you can make lots of money with Premier. Price-list page 35. 



HOWARD 17 (PREMIER) 



This berry is identical with Premier. We recognized this fact several years 

 a^o and we said so in our catalog. It is now admitted by all growers of any stand- 

 ing who have tried them both out, although many held for a long time that there 

 were some differences. We believe Howard 17 to be the best berry m the world, 

 without any doubt. We sell many plants under the name Howard 17 and many 

 under the name of Premier. The variety has received more advertising under the 

 name of Premier, but there seems to be little doubt that Howard 17 is the original 

 name, and many growers, especially in New England, prefer to use the name How- 

 ard 17 partly because they seem to feel that Mr. Howard has not received all the 

 credit due him for originating this wonderful variety. For fuller description, see 

 under Premier, pages 18-19. Price list, page 35.
