ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE 



1» 



Nick Ohmer fruited with me last June and I found to be about all that 

 Mr. Crawford claimed It is regular form, dark scarlet in color and firm 

 enough for long shipment. The berries look very attractive when picked and 

 crated 



The following is an extract from a letter written h>y Mr. A. \V. Clark, 

 Providence, R. I. 



"I found the Nick Ohmer all you claimed for it, a grand, beautiful berry. 

 I sold first at twenty five cents per quart. This sample was not so large as the 

 Nick Ohmer, but fjroductive and showy, bright and even. Clyde was the great 

 standby from first to last, for an all round berry. Nick Ohmer more fancy and 

 better flavor. I received first prize at berry show for best quality, for best new 

 variety of merit, and second prize for best four quarts, all with Nick Ohmer.'* 



EXCELSIOR— This is without exception the most valuable extra early sort 

 now on the market. A persistent and healthy grower, a cross between Hoffman 

 and Wilson Albany. Twice as vigorous and healthy as either. Will average 

 larger than Hoffma,n, twice as productive and equal to lloffman as a shipper, 

 which is saying a great deal, but not too much, and with me this year it was 

 three da} 8 earlier than either Hoffman or Mitchel's Early. The above is my 

 own experience and is strictly true ; it is useless to say more. I shall plant at 

 least 100,000 plants of this Variety this winter.
