time that they made roots, and bore abundantly till late 
in the fall. The fruit was small, but of fine flavor. A 
new hand in*the garden, early the next spring, sup- 
posed they were weeds, and destroyed them. The old 
pioneer, Lewis Davis, informed me the same variety 
grew in Greene county, on the cliffs, and had been fre- 
quently seen by him. I trust it may again be disco- 
vered, and Ohio have the credit of producing the only 
ever-bearing strawberry, as well as raspberry. The 
latter plant, to produce a good crop, during the summer 
and fall, requires a moist soil. My ground in the city 
is too rich and dry for it. I have never seen the plant 
bear as well as in Newark, New Jersey, on a side-hill, 
where the ground is moist, poor and stony. The plant 
did not attain half the size it does here; but the fruit 
was large and abundant till frost.

THE Secretary, at the request of the Society, reported 
a written statement of how he found the strawberry 
question in Philadelphia; after some animated discus- 
sion, it was moved to accept and file the report, and 
the finality was ordered to appear in the minutes of 
the day. 
It has long been argued by some distinguished hor- 
ticultural writers that certain varieties of the strawberry 
—for instance, Hovey’s Seedling—would produce at 
one time plants with pistillate, and at another time 
staminate blossoms. This error has been explained 
by the fact, that a bed of strawberry plants of any 
known pistillate variety, after standing three or four
