TRUE-TONAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS

LATE STRAWBERRIES, continued 



McALPIN. 



The more we see of the McAlpin. 

 the better we like it. We fruited 



a block of McAlpin last season and we can say that, 

 out of over fifty varieties fruited. McAlpin came 

 through several heavy rains with less dirt and sand 

 on the berries than any variety we had. The berries 

 average large in size and run about as even as any 

 variety we know of. There are no extra-large 

 berries and no very small ones. The berries are a 

 beautiful scarlet in color and unexcelled in quality. 

 The light green of the caps and the bright scarlet 

 of the berries make a pleasing contrast which causes 

 the berries to show up well in the package. They 

 always bring top prices on the market, selling with 

 Chesapeake and Big Joe. McAlpin is one of the 

 most vigorous growers we have ever seen and will 

 do well on any kind of soil. The plants have to be 

 kept thinned out or they will become so thick they 

 cannot bear their best crop of fruit. Its excellent 

 quality makes McAlpin a good one for the home 

 garden or local market, and its good shipping qual- 

 ities and attractive appearance make it one of the 

 best market berries. If you have been unable to 

 make other varieties of Strawberries grow on your 

 soil, plant McAlpin and we think you will succeed.

In early spring, when the 

 Strawberrv season first 



NICK OHMER. 



starts in the New York market, this variety, under 

 the trade-name of "Xikoma," often brings as much 

 as 50 cents per quart. Probably this is one of the 

 reasons why the demand is increasing and we must 

 say that the reason is a good one. Nick Ohmer is 

 one of the most popular varieties in California, 

 Florida, and many of the middle states. The berries 

 are certainly handsome, large in size, 

 glossy red. globular in shape, and with 

 bright green caps which show them up 

 well. The blossoms are perfect and the 

 plant produces a large crop. Our plants 

 of this variety are doing well in all sections, 

 but California growers are having espe- 



cially good success with them. Read what a 

 few of the growers are saying about it. Y. Ha- 

 mada, Los Angeles County, California, writes: 

 "The Nick Ohmer which you sold me last year 

 were the pure and unmixed Nick Ohmer. These 

 plants I got of you were fine and well rooted. 

 Kindly let me know if you can furnish me the 

 same good-quality plants." Here's what he said 

 after receiving the plants: "I received Nick 

 Ohmer and Brandywine plants in good shape and 

 I am well pleased with them. Many thanks for the 

 good plants." Mr. S. Okazaki, Los Angeles County, 

 California, says: "My friend tells me you have the 

 best of Nick Ohmer plants, so I order 15,000 Nick 

 Ohmer plants of you. Thanking you to send me the 

 best, as you sent him." Our stock of Nick Ohmer 

 this year is in excellent shape now and growing 

 nicely. The plants are all in light, loose soil and will 

 probably be even better rooted than in former years. 

 Get your order in early. Price, S3.50 per 1,000. 



SAMPLE ^ ew var ' et ' es nave made larger 



— ! profits to the grower than Sample. 



It is a perfect Strawberry type, bright red in color, 

 large in size, delicious in flavor, and very attractive 

 in appearance. It is very productive and quite 

 firm, which makes it possible to ship the fruit to 

 distant markets. For the commercial grower 

 Sample is a reliable standard variety that can be 

 planted with confidence of success, as it has given 

 satisfaction to growers everywhere. Of the many 

 millions of Strawberry plants of many varieties 

 that we have sold to thousands of people we do not 

 remember ever receiving or hearing a complaint 

 about Sample. The blossoms are imperfect and it 

 must be planted with some staminate variety, such 

 as Senator Dunlap, Big Joe, Aroma, Ekey, Three 

 W's, Tennessee Prolific, etc. It is a very hardy- 

 variety, which makes it popular in the North as 

 well as in the South Sample has stood the test of 

 time and still ranks among the leaders. Growers 

 will do well to include this in their planting. Price, 

 §3.50 per 1,000.
