Howard is a strawberry cultivar in the genus Fragaria. In the South Dakota Fruit Garden recommendations, it is listed as one of the good June-bearing types, along with Dunlap and Premier. This places it in the standard early summer bearing group, not the everbearing group. [S1] [S2]
The surviving evidence is brief but useful. Howard was recommended for home fruit planting in South Dakota in a guide focused on hardy, dependable fruits for the region. The same section explains that the variety list was meant to sort fruits by climatic suitability, so Howard was included as a cultivar considered satisfactory in that cold climate context. [S1] [S2]
The cited sources give no fruit description, plant habit, breeder, or parentage. They also do not give a release year, though the phrase "Minnesota 1922" appears in the recommendation line and may be a date or source note rather than part of the cultivar identity. [S1] [S2]
In this record, Howard matters as a documented prairie era recommendation: a named June-bearing strawberry preserved in a cold climate extension guide, not a generic variety list. This makes it part of the practical history of northern home fruit growing, even though fuller descriptive detail is still missing. [S1] [S2]
