plants; on most other varieties you will have only 
one or two stems to pick off. 
(3) The berries are beautiful in appearance, 
having a bright, glossy, red color. A berry that 
looks good in the box or in the crate. The only fancy 
berry that is a market berry, all the other fancy 
berries are poor yielders. 
(4) Howard berries are of large size and hold 
their size well throughout their long bearing season. 
A very easy berry to pick as it has no green points. 
We have one of the best strains of Howard 17 in 
New England, as we use only the best plants in our 
breeding beds. 
The Howard should not be allowed to set too 
many plants, as after heavy rain they do not dry off. 
Berries will be soft and there will be some rot. Keep 
plants well spaced. This gives them a chance to dry 
off after rain. 
We set out more Howard 17 plants than all oth- 
er varieties combined and still we get sold out on 
them every year. To make sure of getting the plants 
you want, send your order in early. Don’t wait until 
late in the season. Send a smal] remittance with 
your order, balance when you want plants shipped.
