COOPER 
The Biggest and Best Strawberry Ever Introduced 
We predict that this wonderful new variety will be grown in every garden 
and field. When its wonderful qualities become known to the public, it will 
become the most popular variety of strawberry ever grown. The past season 
in particular convinced us more strongly than ever of the exceptional qualities 
of this new variety. Both on our farms jmd that of the originator, the Cooper 
has made enormous yields. Quality fine and flavor delicious. One of our 
customers writes that the Cooper seems to be a new race of strawberries owing 
to the wonderful growth they have made. We believe he has, hit the facts, 
squarely, as we have never seen a variety that could compare with Cooper in 
manner of growth. 
Where Did We Get It 
Cooper is a chance seedlinf? discovered by Mr, B. F. Cooper of Cassopolia, Michigan. Its oripin 
is unknown as Mr. Cooper had never (?rown strawberries previous to the diLscovery of this new 
variety. The oriRinal plants were found fcrowinK beside an old stump, as Mr. Cooper's farm is 
not located in a fruit prrowinjr section. The oriRin of the plant is a mystery. 
The exceptional yield of the plants and lar^e size and fine quality of the berries interested 
Mr. Cooper and he has been jrrowinK them extensively for several years. He has worked up 
an excellent trade and srocerymen from Dowagiac and Niles, Michigan, drive to his farm and 
pay him a bipr price when they can get common varieties delivered to their stores for much less. 
Cooper is a tested variety. You are taking no chances when you order them. Read the testi- 
monials on bottom of page 21, 
To fully appreciate the qualities of this wondei-ful variety you must grow them yourself. 
The first time we saw them was during the beiTy season of 1910. The sight we saw' wae 
immense. We were amazed. We had never seen such wonderful berries. But the flavor was 
the greatest surprise of all. In all our years of berry growing we had never eaten anything 
so sweet and luscious. Order Coope^r this season. A trial will convince you. See purchase 
agreement on back of order sheet.
