Medium Early Varieties 



Dr. Burrill. After fruiting this for several years we find it 

 to be just the same as Senator Dunlap. A vigorous grower and 

 heavy cropper. Berries good size, good shippers, and good keep- 

 er. Excellent for canning and delicious for table use. Perfect 

 blossoms. Fine pollenizer. Price, $6.00 per 1,000. 



Early Jersey Giant. A very large medium early berry of 

 highest quality. Conical in shape, deep red in color. Large 

 green caps which makes fruit very attractive. Blossoms per- 

 fect. Berries large and firm and delicious in quality. Good for 

 fancy trade. Price, $8.00 per 1,000. 



Howard No. 17. As we have never fruited this variety we 

 quote from the introducer. "Plants strong and vigorous. It 

 keeps green and healthy after yielding the largest crop. Berries 

 ripen medium early and continue for a long time, though the bulk 

 of the crop is produced in the first two weeks when prices are good. 

 First berries are wedge-shape, soon becoming conical, never rough 

 or misshapen. Berries very large, beautiful and of highest qual- 

 ity, holding size well to end of season. Berries grown in strong 

 stems, easy to see and easy to pick with no dirty berries. Good 

 shippers." After testing many varieties for years Howard No. 

 17 is claimed by the Connecticut Agricultural College to be the 

 best of all. We can only say that it is a very healthy and vig- 

 orous grower and gives promise of living up to the claims of the 

 introducer. Price, $10.00 per 1,000.
