REID’S NURSERIES, UPLAND, OHIO 
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 de- 
sirable, 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 confi- 
dence. If restricted to a single variety, it would bo 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 has 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, 25 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 
100, $8 per 1,000.

GLEN MARY. 
Glen Mary. 
Nick Ohmer. 
In productiveness this berry surpasses the Crescent, not in 
number of berries, but 
in number of quarts. 
Mr. Ingram had one 
quart of select berries 
photographed, which 
contained only twelve 
of the Glen Mary. As to its immense size The Itural New- 
Yorker speaks as follows: "Glen Mary, received from E. T. 
Ingram, April, 1804. Imperfect bi-sexual. June 7, 1895, largest 
ripe berries up to date. Good shape for so large a berry. June 9, 
berries very large, firm enough for a near market; about the shape 
of Sharpless. June 11, large to very large. June 14, a larger 
yield of large berries 
of good form, broad 
heart-shaped, often wid- 
ening at the tip ; one of 
the most promising of 
our later trials. June 
17, past its best. June 
18, still bearing a good 
many berries, which 
hold their size unusu- 
ally well. June 21, 
still bearing. Many of the berries are of largest size.” On the origi- 
nator’s grounds last season one-quarter of an acre was picked at the rate 
of 1,280 quarts per acre at a single picking, and over 12,000 during the 
season. The Glen Mary began to ripen at its home in Chester county, 
Pa., last season, May 28, and the claim seems warranted that it is capa- 
ble of producing big berries all through the fruiting season. Price, 
25 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
CLYDE. 
This new berry seems to be gaining great favor wherever known. 
With us it is as large Clyde, 
as Bubach, nearly or 
quite a week earlier and very much firmer. It is a strong 
staminate, and therefore is suitable for pollenizing medium and 
medium early pistillate varieties. The plant is very vigorous and 
healthy, there being no trace of disease about It that we have 
ever seen. Season of ripening medium early. It is a dark scarlet 
in color, and very productive. Its strong plants, with an abun- 
dance of long roots, which penetrate the soil deeper than most 
varieties, enable it to withstand drought remarkably well. Price, 
cts. per doz,, 75 cts. per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
Hall's Favorite. 
" Plant very strong-growing, with foliage heavy enough and thick 
enough to protect blossoms from frost and for mulch in winter. I 
have seen the vines stand 12 to 18 inches high on ordinary land, 
and, upon opening the vines, found as fine fruit as any one would 
wish to see. The season of ripening is from early to medium, and 
the whole crop ripens in a very short time. The berries are large, 
perfectly formed, of uniform shape, coloring evenly to deep, rich 
crimson, equal to the best in quality. They present a beautiful 
sight when crated; also keep, ship and sell well. The plant is a 
heavy cropper, even in old beds of ordinary soil. It is better in 
quality than Bubach by far, and as a grower the Bubach is no 
comparison.” Price, 25 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $4 per 1,000.
