New York, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM TO LATE. Bisexual. In color the 
New York is bright blood-red with shiny surface, 
and has seeds of nearly the same color and so 
deeply imbedded are they as to be almost invis- 
ible. The shape of the berry varies, ranging 
from the top-shaped with a long point to the 
thick and broad form. In size the New York is 
very large, which gives to it always a leading 
place in the market. In flavor it is delicately 
mild, and the meat is of smooth texture. The 
word "fancy" exactly describes the New York, 
and it is this quality, to which is added a most 
delicious flavor, that has won for this variety a 
popularity which grows more pronounced every 
season. It yields prolifically and has a long rip- 
ening season, and it is the universal experience 
of growers that it is one of the most profitable 
of varieties. We have had New York under our 
methods for ten years, and heartily recommend 
our customers to add some of this variety to 
their lists.

of you last spring (1909) are doing fine."

Duluth, Feb. 24, 1909. "I send you a word re- 
garding my success in growing strawberries from 
your Pedigree plants. I have only a small gar- 
den patch, but I picked from it four bushels of 
nice, large, juicy berries. Some of them meas- 
ured six and one-half inches in circumference. 
Some of the berries were exhibited at the Minne- 
sota State Fair. They were put in large glass 
jars containing alcohol. I am quite gratified by 
the generous commendations received."

Nick Ohmer, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM TO LATE. Bisexual. For twelve 
years we have bred Nick Ohmer, and we can say 
without hesitation that its fame and popularity 
have been honestly won. It is noted wherever 
grown for its unusually rich flavor, great size, 
firm flesh and beautiful rich crimson color. A 
large portion of the seeds are brown,,but between 
them are yellow seeds and these, with the rich 
red of the berry, make a combination of unusual 
attractiveness, which is increased by the fine 
calyx that surmounts the berry. The foliage 
grows tall and has a dark -green leaf, somewhat 
crinkled. The fruit-stems are long and stand up 
over the foliage, making easy work for the pick- 
ers. The bloom is large and very rich in pollen. 
This remarkable combination of excellent points 
has led many of the largest commercial growers 
of fancy fruit to make Nick Ohmer their leader.

orders from here next spring."

Iberia, June 24, 1909. "I bought 100 Stevens' 
Late Champion from you last spring and this 
spring picked an immense crop of berries from 
them." Cliff H. Clark. 
St. Charles, May 10, 1909. "Your plants 
shipped on the 15th of April arrived on the 17th 
in the best of order. Planted on the same day 
and have not lost a plant. Some of my friends 
have seen my plants and everyone thinks the 
plants are just fine. The goods are just as they 
were represented to be."
