ALLEN’S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE 
NICK OHMER.—A great surprise is in store for all who fruit this straw¬ 
berry for the first time: its mammoth size, beautiful color, and great productive¬ 
ness being really astonishing. The plant is exceedingly vigorous, with clean, 
healthy foliage without the slightest tendency to rust. The berries are of the 
largest size—a perfect giant among strawberries—roundish conical in form, 
uniform and regular; rich, glossy crimson, firm and solid, excellent in quality, 
aud average large to the very last picking. Growers should certainly give this 
a trial. 
GLADSTONE —This is one of the largest plants I have seen. It is a strong, 
healthy grower, and very productive of large berries. In short, it is about all 
that has been claimed for it, except in point of earliness. With me it does not 
ripen very early as was claimed, but about mid season, being four or five days 
later than Michel, I would specially recommend this variety to the small 
grower who can give it a very rich, moist soil, as, under these conditions, I be¬ 
lieve it would be a great success.
