Surprise your Neighbors 
—just as F. A. Howard did 
iHE most deliciously flavored of all berries is the wild 
strawberry that grows in June meadows. 
Eight years ago a New England scientist determined to increase the 
size of these fragrant miniature red drops of lusciousness. 
For three years he worked patiently, cross-fertilizing the wild plants 
and garden berries of the largest size—until finally, he produced what 
has been called the most surprising strawberry ever grown, F. A. 
Howard’s “Wild Wonder.” 
Newspapers throughout the United States illustrated and described it. 
Plant breeders came to see it. With ordinary field cultivation one thou¬ 
sand baskets of glorious fruit were grown on one eighth of an acre. They 
sold, at sight, in the Boston market, for double the price of any other 
strawberry. 
Like the wild strawberry, the fruit is borne on high spray-stems. Many 
of the berries are six inches in circumference. The plants seem to grow 
equally well on gravelly inclines or in muddy soil. They are vigorous, 
and yield enormously throughout a long season. 
Only a dozen plants can be spared 
for each purchaser. They are 
strong and long-rooted. If planted 
now, this quantity will provide you 
enough fine young plants 
for a good-sized patch, 
this Fall. The price for 
the dozen is $5.00. 
Each berry is the delici¬ 
ous wild strawberry of 
your boyhood—marvel¬ 
ously flavored and fra¬ 
grant. Grown to giant 
size. Send check or
