from the Farmers' Club of the American Institute, who had the 

 matter throe yesr.-" in charge, mjitie a seleciion of three sons, 

 ripening early, mednim and lair, ami these I preserved as the 

 filial result of my seven years' laborious exiiefimenls to pmcure 

 improvement in Strawherries from seeils. These I intended to 

 dispose of in the ontinary way of a nurseryman's business, and 

 should have done so but for the desire of The TitiBuNB to make 

 a gratuitous distribution of these truly excellent Slrawberries lo 

 its subscriber^. I have therefore ciiniracted to furnish them ex- 

 clusively for that purpose. Not one of ihem can be bought of 

 me atany price. If I had kept them for sale lo individuals the 

 price would have been 50 cents each, or $.5 a dozen," 



NAMES AND DESCKIPTIONS OF THE PPvIZE STRAW- 

 BE UR I ES. 



"The eiirliest ripeninsr one was named Col. EJlsworth, in honor 

 of the martyr who lost his life when Alexandria, Va., was first oc- 

 cupied by the Union Arn.y during the present war. It is a very 

 large variety, of a crimson color, conic. il in shape, ard having a 

 slight depression running from calyx to point, resembling the 

 sutures on the peach, witli a long neck, and the calyx parts readi- 

 ly from the berry ; qual ty good ; flesh firm. Although the largest 

 of the three, it is also the earliest, ripening at the same time as 

 the Jenny Lind and Early Sciirlet, and is very productive. The 

 original plant, ei/heen mouths from Ihe time the seeds were 

 sown, produced over 2o0 p rfect berries, averaging from one inch 

 to one three-tourtli inches m dianiet> r. 



''The next ripenins; is cal'ed the Monitor. It is very large, of 

 a dark bright scarlet color, approaching a crimson in the sun. 

 Berry very solid and firm, of fine quality ; plants very vigorous 

 and productive. This sort will become a great market fruit, the 

 color and shape being very attractive. 



"The third, from its color and origin, is called the Brooklyn 

 Scarlet. Although this v.riity is inferior in size to the other two, 

 yet it possesses merits that will always make it a great favorite. 

 Its shape is a regular oblong cone, color ihe most bea- liful bright 

 scarlet. Flavor, the very best. We have the unanimous decision 

 of the Judges at the gre:it Strawberry Show last season, at No. 41 

 Park Kow, New Yo k, on this point, as they awarded it the first 

 premium over all its numerous competitors. The plant is a very 

 strong and vigorous grower, making monstrous stools the first 

 season, from which an enormous amount of fruit stalks are pro- 

 dnced. Add to this its lateness which a.'<sists so much in prolong- 

 ing the season of this delicious fruit, and we have in this Straw- 

 berry something as near perfection as pos>ilile, though not as large 

 as the others. Yet this is not small, and among the sorts most 

 cultivated ranks medium to large." 



The above descriptions by Mr. Fuller, in addition to all that we 

 have already pnblislieil, must be sufficient tosntisfy all minds that 

 we are offering no trifling prize to our subscribers, as an indica- 

 tion of oar good will, and certainly with a hope of their good will 

 to us. 



We have only to a<ld that Ihe cuts are as exact representations 

 as to size, as can be given, and in no respect exaggerations of 

 The Tribune Prize Strawberries.

AFTER years of study and experiment by the Inventor, to 

 compound from pure VcgeiuUn miiterials a Powder that 

 SHOULD and must take the place of the thousand-and-one nos- 

 trums gotten up and palmed u]>on the jniblic as " Certain Heme-

 and none can he ge7iuine unless bearing our fac simihb signa-

 confined to the State of Pennsylvania, but we have now coiisn- 

 mated such arrangements that we are prepared to supply Ihe nu- 

 merous orders now on hanil, as well as those we may hereafter 

 receive from other States of the Union. 



Knowing this powder to possess all the curative properties here 

 set forth, we deem a fulsome tiraoe of words unnecessary, feel- 

 ing assured that its oimi merits will secure for it a ready sale. 

 Being composed of pure vegetab e ingredients, it can be safely 

 and judiciously given to that noble animal the HORSE. Its 

 etfects are no Ji the pampering of the system, creating a bloated 

 carcass with a premature sheddin? of the hair; but on the other 

 hand, it strengthens the digestion, purifies the Blood, rt-gulates 

 Ihe Unlnary organs, thereby improving and protecting the whole 

 Physical condition of Ihe animal even when in an apparently 

 healthy stale, and a certain and infallible cure when he has

CIIOLIC, 



To the AgritiMurist and Dairyman it is an invaluable reme- 

 dy for \he\r Neat CatUe laboring under HOOF diseases. HOL- 

 LOW HOKN, and other of the man complaints to which they 

 are liable from a suppression of the natural secretions. 



MILCH COWS are much benefitted by occasionally mixing 

 with their slop or feed — it has a tendency to strengthen the ar.;- 

 mal, remove .ill obstructions from the milk tubes, promote all the 

 secretions, and consequently adding nuich to the strength of the 

 animal, quantity and quality of \\ii Milk, CrenmaniX Butter. 



HOGS, during the warm seasons, are constantly overheating 

 themselves, which results in their gelling Coughs, Ulcers of the 

 LUNGS and other parts, which naturally has a tendency to re- 

 lard their growth. In all such cases a lablesponnful, mixed in a 

 bucket of swill, and given every other d.iy, will speedily remove 

 all difficulties, and the animal ivill soon increase in Ue'aUh and 

 Fat. 



Who, of the tens of thousands of this country, having either the 

 one or the other of the animals which Ibis Powder benefits, will 

 will be so niggardly and so unmerciful to the beast, and unjust to 

 himself, as not to give it a trial? We confidently predict that 

 wherever it is once introduced, it will be as permanent in that 

 stable, and deemed as essential, as the curry-comb and brush 

 themselves are.
