ALLEN’S BOOK OF BERRIES—1922 
Missionary, A Very Popular Shipping Berry 
Medium Early Varieties 
Dr. Burrill. We are still listing this variety separate^ but our 
observation for several years is that it is just the same as Sen¬ 
ator Dunlap. A very vigorous grower and heavy cropper. Ber¬ 
ries medium size. Fairly good shipper. Excellent for canning 
and fine for table use. Perfect blossoms. Good pollenizer. Price 
list page 23. 
Early Jersey Giant. A very large medium early berry of 
highest quality. Conical in shape, deep red in color. Large 
green caps which make fruit very attractive. Blossoms perfect. 
Berries large and firm and delicious in quality. Good for fancy 
trade. Price list page 23. 
Howard No. -17. After fruiting this the past season we pro¬ 
nounce it to be the same as Premier. If there is any difference 
it was so slight that we could not detect it. Long before we 
fruited it, the foliage and habit of growth was so like Premier 
that we thought then it must be the same. This year, with the 
late freeze cutting the yield severely on all other varieties, our 
Howard 17, like the Premier, came through with a full crop. We 
picked and packed them together and they were identical as to 
yield, size, quality, season of ripening, and other points. 
Our stock of this variety is from the introducers stock, so we 
are sure we have it straight. Read our description of Premier— 
that fits Howard 17 as it was with us last year, the first time 
we have fruited it. We shall keep our stock separate from 
Premier so those who want to try both can do so. Whether dif¬ 
ferent or the same, you can’t go wrong in planting either Pre¬ 
mier or Howard No. 17. As early berries no other variety on 
the market can compare with them. Price list page 23. 
Klondyke. The leading market berry of the Southern States. 
The reasons it is so liked are many. The plant is a vigorous 
grower and quite healthy. It bears a good crop and the berries 
are medium too large in size, ripen evenly all over and are 
rather light in color and most important of all, are firm enough 
to ship hundreds of miles and still go in market in perfect con¬ 
dition. Not a home-garden, or local market berry, but one of the 
best for shipping.
