The Genesee Valley Horticultural Society held its first meeting for' 

 this season on the 21st of June. The' display was a very fine one. Messrs. 

 A. Frost & Co., Ellwanger & Barry, and J. A Eastman, Esq., and others/ 

 contributed numerous varieties of Roses. Greenhouse plants and Bouquets^ 

 were also very good. We had a report sent us by a subscriber in Rochester^ 

 but we have not room for it. 



We saw a plant of the new variegated climber, Cissus discolor, in the' 

 greenhouse of J. F. Knorr, Esq., West Philadelphia. The colors of the 

 large heart-shaped leaves are more beautiful than those of any foliage we 

 ever saw, being a reddish purple, deep green and ashy white. In the course 

 of this year we will give a figure of the plant. 



PERPETUAL FRUITING STRAWBERRIES. 



Last fall I potted some Strawberry plants for early forcing, these ripened 

 a light crop during March and April, and were then planted out ; they have 

 continued bearing more or less ever since. At the present time there are 

 fruit in all stages from the opening blossom to the ripe truss. I do not men- 

 tion this as anything new, it being a common practice with fgardeners to 

 gather a second crop from forced plants when treated in this manner. It 

 occurred tome, however, that this "Crescent seedling" habit might Hot be 

 generally known, and whether the climate of New Orleans where this vari- 

 ety originated might not afford a natural treatment similar to what thesa 

 were artificially subjected to, and if so, would not any strawberry thus be- 

 come in some measure a "perpetual."
