stock of this variety, but the 
demand for it was so great that 
we were sold out before the sea¬ 
son was half gone; it seems to 
be especially popular in Cali¬ 
fornia and the southern states, 
but we have received large 
orders from all parts of the 
country. In early spring, when 
the Strawberry season 
first starts in the New 
York market, this va¬ 
riety under the trade 
name of “Nikoma” often 
brings as much as 50 cts. 
per quart. Probably this 
is one of the reasons 
why the demand is increasing, 
and we must say that the 
reason is a good one. The 
berries are certainly handsome, 
large in size, glossy red, glob¬ 
ular in shape and with bright 
green caps, which shows them 
up well. Blossoms are perfect 
and the plant produces a large 
crop. We anticipate a big 
demand for Nick Ohmer this 
year and have grown a large 
stock of very fine plants. 
/-vi • p ftV Ripens very late in the season, but 
UIIIO DOy. a vigorous grower and very pro¬ 
ductive. The fruit is medium in size and firm 
enough to make an excellent shipping berry. 
Blossoms are perfect. Ohio Boy can be 
used to extend the season of berries, as it 
is one of the latest that we have; it is also 
recommended for canning. See 
illustration, page 14. 
THEY ARE GOOD 
The plants were re¬ 
ceived last Wednes¬ 
day in fine condi¬ 
tion and were im¬ 
mediately planted. 
They look more like 
good plants than 
I have ever 
seen. I appre¬ 
ciate them 
very much.—

Orem. Bears an abundance of fine berries 
Or pm F° r an exceedingly late variety Orem is 
Urem. our c h 0 i ce of any we have seen up to this 
time. We fruited it on our farm, and the berries 
were certainly fine. The fruit is very firm and can 
be left on the vines two or three days after it is ripe, 
and still be in good condition. It commences 
to ripen with the Gandy and bears an abun¬ 
dance of large, highly colored berries, which 
last until after the Gandy are gone. It is 
more productive than the Gandy and better 
in quality. The 
color is a rich red, 
with prominent 
yellow seeds and 
dark green 
caps, which 
make it very 
attractive.
