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.

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.
