(Bisexual : Extra Late.) 



NEW STRAWBERRY.— The latest of all, and one of 

 the best of all lates. It is truly a superb sort and 

 should be planted by every one desiring to extend 

 ;he strawberry season to its utmost limits. It is not only 

 i handsome fine berry, equalling the good old reliable 

 ate Gandy in size, quality and delicious flavor, but it 

 ripens from ten days to two weeks later. When the 

 3-andy is at its best, the berries of the ' Michigan only 

 begins to show color. In form it is "bluntly conical, 

 sxceptionally uniform in size and shape, and of a 

 bright rich crimson color. The plant is a strong 

 aealthy grower, with luxuriant foliage and exceed- 

 ingly productive. Its extreme lateness in ripening, 

 large size, great productiveness and fine quality, ren- 

 ier it of the highest value, 

 [t is unexcelled for canning 

 by reason of its fine quality, 

 md firmness.

 exhibition berrv and for home use it is peerless — it 

 captures the prize wherever exhibited almost without ex. 

 ception. It is the first of the extra large varieties to ripen, 

 and although of great size the fruit is rarely ever missha- 

 pen The color is a rich glossy crimson that everyone ad- 

 mires— the surface color running well into the flesh, and 

 the quality is far above the average Asto productiveness, 

 it will not yield as large a number of berries as some var- 

 ieties, but when measured in quarts or bushels, will 

 above the average. The 

 mt is faultless, a strong 

 grower, often standing 20 to 

 !2 inches high, rooting deeply 

 and standing drought well.

 Giant 

 Strawberry, The 



"NICK OHW 



Bisexual: Midseason. 



A new berry of Ohio origin and 

 named after the Ex-President of 

 the Ohio State Horticultural Society, 

 and described thus by Mr. Crawford, 

 the veteran strawberry authority : After 

 watching the " Nick Ohmer " three years, 

 and hearing how it has behaved wherever 

 I sent it for trial, never having received 

 one unfavorable report on it, I am confi- 

 dent that it is one of the most desirable, 

 if not the very best ever sent out There 

 is no other in the market, or in sight, that 

 I would plant with as much confidence. 

 If restricted to a single variety it would be my first 

 choice without a moment's hesitation. 



The plant is very large and stocky, sending out plenty 

 of very strong runners. It is probably not surpassed in 

 healthy, vigorous growth and great productiveness by 

 any variety. It has a perfect blossom. The fruit is of 

 the very largest size, a giant among strawberries. It is 

 never misshapen. Its only departure from the regular, 

 roundish conical form is when, under high culture, it is 

 some what triangular. It is dark glossy red, firm and of 

 excellent flavor. Price, (pot-grown plants that will bear 

 a full crop of berries next season), 60c per doz , $4.00 

 per 100. 



President flcKinley. 



(Bisexual : Mid-season.) 



The number of new strawberries 



annually introduced is so great that 



we almost hesitate to add to the 



list, but this new variety has so 



many desirable qualities that we 



believe it deserves recognition and 



dissemination. 



It has been thoroughly tested on our grounds the last 



two years, among the many kinds of new and old that we 



have growing ; it has many points of superiority, being 



conspicuous forits size, shaDe, color and quality. 



In size it is unusually large; shape roundish, inclining 

 to conical, but sometimes flattened or coxcombed ; color 

 crimson, flesh moderately firm, and' quality extra good. 

 The plant is vigorous healthy, and a great yielder ; flow- 

 ers bisexual or perfect. 



We can confidently recommend it for the home garden 

 and also for nearby market. 



Price, {pot-grown plants that will bear a full crop of 

 berries next season), 60c. per doz.. $4.00 per 100. 



Strawberry Pbnts mailed free at the dozen price, but to the ioo price, if desired by mail, add 50c. for postage.
