Last year we 



had a large 

 srock of this variety, but the 

 demand for it was so great that 

 we were sold out before the sea- 

 son was half gone; it seems to 

 be especially popular in Cali- 

 fornia and the southern states, 

 but we have received large 

 orders from all jjarts of the 

 countr\-. In early spring, when 

 the Stra\vberr%' season 

 first starts in the New 

 York market, this va- 

 riety under the trade .'. 

 name of "Xikoma" often 

 brings as much as 50 cts. 

 per q uart . Probably this 

 is one of the reasons 

 why the demand is increasing, 

 and we must say that the 

 reason is a good one. The 

 berries are certainly handsome, 

 large in size, glossy red, glob- 

 ular in shape and with bright 

 green caps, which shows them 

 up well. Blossoms are perfect 

 and the plant produces a large 

 crop. \\'e anticipate a big 

 demand for Nick Ohmer this 

 year and have grown a large 

 stock of verj- fine plants. 



Ohio Rnv Ripens very late in the season, but 

 UniO DOy. jg ^ vigorous grower and ver>' pro- 

 ductive. The fruit is medium in size and firm 

 enough to make an excellent shipping berr\-. 

 Blossoms are perfect. Ohio Boy can be 

 used to extend the season of berries, as it 

 is one of the latest that we have; it is also 

 recommended for canning. See 

 illustration, page 14. 



THEY ARE GOOD 



The plants were re- 

 ceived last Wednes- 

 day in fine condi- 

 tion and were im- 

 mediately olanted. 

 They look more like 

 good plants than 

 I have ever 

 seen. I appre- 

 ciate them 

 veri" much. —

Orem. Bears an abundance of fine berries 



rj_ For an exceedingly late variety Orem is 



our choice of any we have seen up to this 

 time. We fruited it on our farm, and the berries 

 were certainly fine. The fruit is verj' firm and can 

 be left on the vines two or three days after it is ripe, 

 and still be in good condition. It commences 

 to ripen with the Gandy and bears an abun- 

 dance of large, highly colored berries, which 

 last until after the Gandy are gone. It is 

 more productive than the Gandy and better 

 in quality. The 

 color is a rich red, 

 with prominent 

 yellow seeds and 

 dark green 

 caps, which 

 make it very 

 attractive.
