vored variety among these is Burr’s New Pine; the 
largest, Hovey’s Seedling; and the finest and best for 
market, Jenny’s Seedling and Crimson Cone. Hovey’s 
Seedling, in Western New York, and in many parts of 
the West, is a very moderate, and, in many cases, a 
poor bearer. We have had no crop so heavy the past 
season (when all bore well) as on the Monroe Scarlet. 
STAMINATE, OR HERMAPHRODITE. — Large Harly 
Scarlet, Walker’s Seedling, Iowa, Boston Pine, and 
Genesee. All these may be grown successfully for 
market, and are good, without being first-rate in flavor. 
We think much more of Walker’s Seedling now than 
we did last season. It is very hardy, and a great 
bearer. It appears to be a seedling from the Black 
Prince. The Boston Pine is the most uncertain on the 
whole list; without good soil and culture, it fails en- 
tirely. 
Besides the above list, we would recommend to 
amateurs, who are willing to bestow thorough cultiva- 
tion and care on their plants, the British Queen, which, 
when well grown, surpasses in size, beauty, and excel- 
lence, any we have named. The Bicton Pine, a large 
and beautiful white variety, which ripens late. We 
have had a fine crop of it this season, although our 
plants—hbeing set last year—were seriously injured last 
winter. Like all the foreign sorts, it needs protection, 
and a deep, rich soil, with abundant moisture. The 
Wood Strawberries—red and white—bear most pro- 
fusely in all places, and last a long time; besides, they 
part freely from the calyx, and are therefore easily and 
rapidly picked, and their flavor is rich and agreeable 
to most people. In addition to these, we must mention
