LATE STRAWBERRIES, continued 
NICK OHMER In early spring, when the 
* Strawberry season first 
starts in the New York market, this variety, under 
the trade-name of ‘‘Nickoma,”’ 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 especially good success with 
them. The Japanese growers of California seem to 
be especially fond of our Nick Ohmer, Klondyke, 
and Brandywine. We attribute this to the fact that 
our varieties are absolutely true to name and that 
our soil permits us to dig the plants and retain un- 
impaired the wonderful mass of roots. We have a 
nice stock of plants this season and we shall be glad 
to book your order early and reserve for you as 
many of these as you need. All sold. 
SAMPLE Few varieties have 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

confidence of success, as it has given satisfaction to 
growers everywhere. Of the many millions of Straw- 
berry plants of many varieties that we have sold to 
thousands of people we do not remember ever re- 
ceiving or hearing a complaint about Sample. The 
blossoms are imperfect and it must be planted with 
some staminate variety, such as Gibson, Big Joe, or 
Ekey. It is a hardy variety, which makes it popular 
in both North and South. Price, $6 per 1,000. 
An old variety that has stood the 
Sharpless. test of time. On account of its large 
size, handsome appearance, and excellent quality, 
Sharpless is often included in home-garden plantings, 
especially by those who have known it in former 
years. Price, $7 per 1,000. 
For a long time, Wm. Belt was 
WM. BELT. the standard of quality. Now 
it shares the honors with Chesapeake. There are few 
lovers of Strawberries who will cross plots of many 
varieties and not pick out Wm. Belt and Chesapeake 
as the best-flavored ones. A grower in Washington 
writes us: “‘The Wm. Belt and Chesapeake are 
dandy. I am going to run all my plantings to these 
two kinds. They stood the drought best and are in 
good shape now.’”’ The berries are rather large in 
size, and somewhat irregular in shape. They have a 
rich glossy color, which makes them very attractive. 
Wm. Belt is indispensable and it takes the lead wher- 
ever quality is the important consideration. Our stock 
of Wm. Belt this year promises to be especially fine 
and to have the heavy crowns and great root-system 
characteristic of all Allen’s plants. Price, $7 per 1,000.
