LATE STRAWBERRIES, continued 
McALPIN. 
The more we see of the McAlpin, 
the better we like it. We fruited 
a block of McAlpin last season and we can say that, 
out of over fifty varieties fruited, McAlpin came 
through several heavy rains with less dirt and sand 
on the berries than any variety we had. The berries 
average large in size and run about as even as any 
variety we know of. There are no extra-large 
berries and no very small ones. The berries are a 
beautiful scarlet in color and unexcelled in quality. 
The light green of the caps and the bright scarlet 
of the berries make a pleasing contrast which causes 
the berries to show up well in the package. They 
always bring top prices on the market, selling with 
Chesapeake and Big Joe. McAlpin is one of the 
most vigorous growers we have ever seen and will 
do well on any kind of soil. The plants have to be 
kept thinned out or they will become so thick they 
cannot bear their best crop of fruit. Its excellent 
quality makes McAlpin a good one for the home 
garden or local market, and its good shipping qual¬ 
ities and attractive appearance make it one of the 
best market berries. If you have been unable to 
make other varieties of Strawberries grow on your 
soil, plant McAlpin and we think you will succeed. 
Price, $4 per 1,000. 
In early spring, when the 
Strawberry season first 
NICK OHMER. 
starts in the New York market, this variety, under 
the trade-name of “Nikoma," often brings as much 
as 50 cents 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. Nick Ohmer is 
one of the most popular varieties in California, 
Florida, and many of the middle states. The berries 
are certainly handsome, large in size, 
glossy red, globular in shape, and with 
bright green caps which show them up 
well. The blossoms are perfect and the 
plant produces a large crop. Our plants 
of this variety are doing well in all sections, 
but California growers are having espe¬ 
cially good success with them. Read what a 
few of the growers are saying about it. Y. Ha- 
mada, Los Angeles County, California, writes: 
“The Nick Ohmer which you sold me last year 
were the pure and unmixed Nick Ohmer. These 
plants I got of you were fine and well rooted. 
Kindly let me know if you can furnish me the 
same good-quality plants." Here’s what he said 
after receiving the plants: “I received Nick 
Ohmer and Brandywine plants in good shape and 
I am well pleased with them. Many thanks for the 
good plants." Mr. S. Okazaki, Los Angeles County, 
California, says: “My friend tells me you have the 
best of Nick Ohmer plants, so I order 15,000 Nick 
Ohmer plants of you. Thanking you to send me the 
best, as you sent him." Our stock of Nick Ohmer 
this year is in excellent shape now and growing 
nicely. The plants are all in light, loose soil and will 
probably be even better rooted than in former years.

SAMPLE. Few var ^ et ^ es have made larger 
- * profits to the grower than Sample. 
It is a perfect Strawberry type, bright red in color, 
large in size, delicious in flavor, and very attractive 
in appearance. It is very productive and quite 
firm, which makes it possible to ship the fruit to 
distant markets. For the commercial grower 
Sample is a reliable standard variety that can be 
planted with confidence of success, as it has given 
satisfaction to growers everywhere. Of the many 
millions of Strawberry plants of many varieties 
that we have sold to thousands of people we do not 
remember ever receiving or hearing a complaint 
about Sample. The blossoms are imperfect and it 
must be planted with some staminate variety, such 
as Senator Dunlap, Big Joe, Aroma, Ekey, Three 
W’s, Tennessee Prolific, etc. It is a very hardy 
variety, which makes it popular in the North as 
well as in the South. Sample has stood the test of 
time and still ranks among the leaders. Growers 
will do well to include this in their planting. Price, 
.50 per 1,000. 
Sample. We never heard a complaint about it
