Nick OHriER. 
For market, for home use, or for exhibition, this is probably the greatest 
berry ever offered. It is cer- 
tainly the most desirable var- 
iety that has come under my 
observation. It is my candid 
opinion that all who grow the 
Nick Ohmer will be astonished 
at its healthy, vigorous growth 
and great productiveness. The 
fruit will be a surprise to all 
who see it, being of mammoth 
size, beautiful form and color 
and excellent quality. The 
plant is very large and stocky, 
sending out plenty of strong 
runners. It is probably not 
surpassed in health, vigorous 
growth and productiveness by 
any variety. It has a perfect 
blossom. The fruit is of the 
very largest size, a giant among 
strawberries. It is never mis- 
shapen. 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. — M. Crawford. 
The Nick Ohmer fruited here last season. I think it will sustain all the claims 
made for it. It has certainly come to stay. 
5tar Strawberry. 
The Star strawberry is one of the newer introductions and is pronounced 
by its introducers and others who have 
fruited it to be the bilghtest star in the 
strawberry family. The berry is large 
and handsome in appearance, measuring 
6 to 7 inches in circumference, on the 
average. It is as near perfection in shape 
as possible, somewhat resembling the 
Gandy, but not quite as dark in color. It 
is a beautiful glossy crimson, and it colors 
all over at the same time, being an ideal 
berry in this respect. All the berries 
average large from first to last, with no 
small or ill shaped berries throughout the 
entire season. In quality it is of the best. 
The plant is a vigorous and strong grower 
with healthy green foliage, deep rooted 
and very prolific, being a staminate or 
perfect variety. Season of ripening is 
second eai'ly — Introducer's description. 
In reply to a letter addressed to the 
introducei'S since the fruiting season of 
'97, they write as follows: “With regard to the Strawberry we cannot say too 
much of it. It has met all our expectations and today it is making the finest 
showing of any variety we have. The plant and fruit looks very much like
