Hovey's Seedling in Ohio. — An amateur cultivator in 

 Cleveland, Ohio, has sent us several clippings from the papers 

 giving almost fabulous accounts of Hovey's Seedling. We 

 copy two of them : — 



Twenty to the Pound. — The Chicago Journal of the 24th 

 June, says : " Doane & Co. deposited a basket on our table 

 this morning, filled brim full with a dozen or so of straw- 

 berries, weighing in the neighborhood of twenty to the pound. 

 They are Hovey's Seedlings, and raised at Cleveland, Ohio. 

 Cleveland fruits bear an enviable reputation everywhere." 



Thirty to the Quart. — Seeing is believing and tasting is 

 proof positive. Sanborn, at 9 Ontario street, has Hovey's 

 Seedling strawberries, thirty of which fill a quart measure. 

 We beg of our readers not to take this upon our assertion, but 

 go to Sanborn's and see the delicious sight — and buy them 

 too. S. is in the receipt of twenty bushels per day. — Clever 

 land Herald, June 27th. 



How it happens that the short distance between Cleveland 

 and Cincinnati should make so much difference in the culti- 

 vation of this variety we are at a loss to imagine. Will some 

 of the great strawberry growers of either city enlighten us ? 



Strawberry Culture in Western New York. — The 

 summer meeting of the Western New York Fruit Growers' 

 Association was held at Syracuse on the 27 and 28th of June. 

 There was a very good exhibition of fruit, and quite an at- 

 tendance of members. The two days were mostly devoted 

 to discussions upon the culture of the strawberry and other 

 fruits. The discussion upon strawberries was very interest- 

 ing, and is reported in the Rural New Yorker and Country 

 Gentleman, from which we condense the following : — 



The cultivation of the strawberry being in order, Mr. P. 

 Barry proposed Burros New Pine as one of the best varieties 

 for amateurs. J. J. Thomas proposed the Hooker. W. P. 

 Townsend the Genesee, and Geo. Newland, the raiser of 

 Newland's famous Alpine, proposed the Pyramidal Chilian.
