COOPER 
The Biggest and Best Strawberry Ever Offered 
We are offering this wonderful new variety this season with the honest 
conviction that it is destined to become leader supreme of the Strawberry 
family* It is the most beautiful, largest and heaviest yielding variety we have 
ever seen and we have tested hundreds in our more than forty years experience 
in the Strawberry business. Cooper is a chance seedling discovered by Mr. 
B. A. Cooper of Cassopolis, Michigan. Its origin is unknown as Mr. Cooper 
had never grown Strawberries previous to the discovery of this new variety. 
Mr. Cooper's farm is not located in a fruit growing section but since the dis- 
covery of this variety some years ago, Mr. Cooper has grown this variety ex- 
tensively, as there was a ready market for his fancy large berries. 
One of our friends in Niles, Michigan, who had been buying berries of Mr. 
Cooper, for home use, told us about the large, fancy berries. We finally became 
interested and during the Strawberry season of 1919 we visited Mr. Cooper's 
farm. The sight we saw was well worth the trip. We were amazed. We had 
never seen such large, fancy fruit. In appearance they were similar to large 
over-grown Dunlap — BUT THE FLAVOR was the greatest surprise of all, 
we had never bit into anything so SWEET and LUSCIOUS. 
Mr. Cooper followed the hill system of culture, and the plants were a sight 
indeed, several crowns to a plant, 10 to 20 fruit stems and every stem literally 
loaded with the wonderful large berries. We could not find any small crippled 
fruit, in size they varied from BIG to LARGE and LARGER. 
We want everyone who gets our catalog this season to buy COOPER, the 
STRAWBERRY SUPREME. We will guarantee them to be the largest and 
fanciest strawberry you have ever grown. We are offering them at a reason- 
able price. We are offering them only by the hundred as we want to supply 
every reader of this catalog. We control this wonderful new variety and you 
cannot buy them elsewhere. Price, 75c for 6; $1.25 per doz.; $2 per 25; $6 per 100.
