MARGARET. NICK OHMER. 
NICK OHMER. 
The following is the introducer’s description of this new berry. We believe it to be all that is claimed for it ; 
" Originated by Mr. John F. Beaver, who is conceded to be the most successful amateur fruit-grower in Ohio' 
Named after Mr. N. Ohmer, ex-president of the Ohio State Horticultural Society. After watching the Nick 
Ohmer three years, and hearing how it has behaved wherever I have sent it for trial, never having received one 
unfavorable report on it, I am confident that it is one of the most desirable, if not the very best Strawberry ever 
sent out. There is no other in the market, or in sight, that I would plant with so much confidence. If restricted 
to a single variety, it would be my first choice without a moment’s hesitation. 
“ The plant is very large and stocky, sending out plenty of very strong runners. It is probably not surpassed 
in healthy, vigorous growth and great productiveness by any variety. It lias a perfect blossom. The fruit is of 
the very largest size, a giant among Strawberries. It is never misshapen. Its only departure from the regular 
roundish conical form is when, under high culture, it is somewhat triangular. It is dark, glossy red, firm and of 
excellent flavor.” Price, $i per doz., $5 per 100. 
MARGARET. 
This variety was originated about six years ago by John F. Beaver, of Dayton, Ohio, from seed of the Craw- 
ford. It has made a remarkable record— perhaps never equaled— and is now offered with great confidence. It 
responds readily to good culture, and careful growers may expect it. to produce the finest fruit in great abundance. 
The plant is large and healthy, and so vigorous in growth that it will mature its last berries dnd continue 
green and luxuriant, while an abundance of strong runners are produced. The foliage is dark green, and so 
clean and healthy looking that it is a pleasure to work among the plants. The blossom is perfect and one of the 
strongest ever seen. It commences to ripen soon after the early varieties, and bears until nearly all others are 
gone. In good soil its berries are all large. The plant, with its habits of growth and productiveness, is faultless. 
The fruit is usually conical, sometimes rather long, but never cockscombed or misshapen, often necked. The 
color is dark, glossy red, and the berries are not inclined to have white tips. The large green calyx adds to its 
beauty. The flesh is firmer than most very large berries, and of excellent flavor. For healthy, vigorous growth, 
productiveness, size, beauty and quality, the Margaret is a remarkable variety. Price, 50 cts, per doz., $2 per 
100, $8 per 1,000.
