ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 



NICK OHMER — "For market, for home use, or for exhibition, this is proba- 

 bly the greatest berry ever offered. It is certainly the most desirable berry that 

 has come under my observation. It is my candid opinion that all who grow the 

 iNTickOhmer will be astonished at its healthy vigorous growth and great produc- 

 tivenesss. The fruit will be a surprise to all that see it, being of mammoth size, 

 beautiful form and color, and excellent quality." 



"The Nick Ohmer was originated by Mr. John F. Beaver, who is conceded to 

 he the most successful amateur strawberry grower in uhio. He named it for his 

 friend, N. Ohmer. who has been president of the Montgomery County Horti- 

 cultural society for more than twenty years, and is ex president of our State 

 Horticultural Society. Mr. Beaver has fruited nearly all the leading varieties 

 ever introduced in this country, and some from Europe, and when he says that 

 the Nick Ohmer leads any variety he has ever grown, it means a great deal. It 

 has grown here for three years and I do not remember to have seen any rust on 

 it, but of course every variety will rust under certain conditions. I have sent it 

 to a number On trial, and have yet to hear the first unfavorable report. I have 

 :no other expectation than that it will become one of the leading varieties, and 

 if restricted to a single one it would be my choice." — M. Crawford.
