SUPERIOR NEW STRAWBERRY. 



Hovey's Seedling, a new variety, originated in 1835, and 

 now for the first time ofl'ered to ihe pidilic, after a trial of 

 three years, in a hearing slate, has confirmed its superiority 

 over every other variety. It belongs to the class denomina- 

 ted Pine Strawberries, and may be described as follows : 



/''ruii. very large, round, never coxcondi-shaped. even iu 

 the largest berries. Color, deep shining red. Seeds, insert- 

 ed in a sli.iht cavity. Fieslt, scarlet, firm, abounding wtih a 

 most agreeable acid and exceedingly high flavored juice. 

 The vines are as hardy as the Early Virginia, having stood 

 the severity of the several ]jast winters unharmed ; gro vih 

 vigorous, and the fruit well elevated from the ground on 

 Blrons stems. A full descnplinii of this seedling, with an 

 engraving of the fruit, and some account of its origin, treat- 

 ment, &c. will be given ui the August number of the Maga- 

 zine of HorticuHure. 



This strawberry was first exhibited al the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society's Rooms iu lS3s, again in 1839, and 

 also the present year, and each year obtained the Society's 

 premium, although in coropetion with the Methven, Keen's 

 Seedling, Downton, &c. Gentlemen well acquanited with 

 all the other varieties cultivated iu this country, have se^'U 

 ilio bed iu full bearing, and hesitatingly pronounce it the 

 largest, finest, most productive and hardy variety they have 

 ever seen. 



The entire slock of plants is iu the possession of the sub 

 scnhers, not one ever yet having been disposed of, and they 

 are now offered for sale, and will he ready for delivery on 

 and al'ier the 20lh of August .\ll orders will be executed

STRAWBERRIES! STR AWBERlilES I I 



Those who are desirous of cultivating this delicirnis 

 Fruit are icspcctlully inforiiied that the subscriber has 

 succeeded, alter iii.iny years experinieniing upon the 

 Strawbr-rry, not only in obtaining iumv varieties, but in 

 ascertaining the best nieihods of cultivation. The sub- 

 scriber would offer to the public, tiie present season, fiis 

 Selected Collection ctttisisiiug i}f stven varieties ; they are 

 such as have stood tiie lest of :\ fair trial for stveji years, 

 and ate alt grown by the subscriber. 



Spe-eiiueiis uf his Fruits have been exliibittrd everv 

 season a; the iMassacbu-etts Horticultural Rooms, anil 

 have always commanded an extra price in Faneuil Hall 

 Market. 



IVarren's Seedling Methven, a new and valuable kind, 

 a free bearer, fruit veiy large and juicy ; fruit measu- 

 ring 5^ inches has been exhibiied the present season. 

 This vaiii'iy can be warranted to be one of the fim-st va. 

 rieties grown, and will produce as fine fruit and as large 

 qiiaiitiiy, with the s:ime cultivatiim, as any other ever of- 

 fered, although .«ome may ask the modest (!) price of $5 

 per dozen. The price of this Seedling is $5 per hundred 

 plants. 



Methrcn Castle — Fruit extremely large, high flavored 

 and showy ; specimens of this fruit have been shown 

 this season six inches in circumference. Tbi.s variel) 

 can be stiid to be very excellent, (when the true kinds is 

 obtained); it is one of the largest late varieties known, 

 profitable .ind highly worthy of cultivation, all that some 

 growers may say to the contrary, notwithstanding. 

 Price $3 per hundred plants. 



Keens Seedling — A very superior variety, fruit very 

 large, rich dark color, and uncommonly high flavored ; 

 has always been ronsidereJ by English cultivators the 

 best grown. Price $3 per hundred.

 free bearer and very hardy. Price $2. 



Hautbois — Fruit larger than English Wood, exceed- 

 ingly numerous, sometimes yielding 100 berries to the

 best fruit for market, a free bearer^ and very hardy. — 

 Price $2.

N. B. Those who are desirous of cultivating this de- 

 licious fruit, would find it for their interest to visit the 

 gardens and see the method of culiivalion, and satisfy 

 themselves that they can obtain their plants from Jirst 

 hands, for it is too often the case that large and attrac- 

 tive aOvertisements are sent forth to the piiblii: by deal- 

 ers in plants, when at the same time they have never 

 grown the kinds offered for sale, and know but little 

 about their cultivation. Attention to this by purcha- 

 sers, if [lossible, will gave much time and money. 



Every plant sent from this garden will be warranted 

 to be free from mixtuies, and shall also be young and 

 heallliy, worth the price paid for them. 



.All orders directed to the subscriber, enclosing the 

 amount for the order, or with a good reference, shall he 

 promptly attended lo. jind the plants carefully forward- 

 ed agieeably to directions.
