furthor trial, owing to the healthy gi'owth of the plant, and its 

 capal)ility of standing our long dry season. 



The berry is firm, of excellent taste and flavor, of good size and 

 color. A verj^ prolific variety. 



Nunan, or Charleston Seedling. — This is the great market berry 

 grown so extensively in Greorgia, and S. Carolina for the Northern 

 markets. AYe undertand that it is prolific fruit, of good size and 

 early; qualities that will recommend it every where. As it succeeds 

 finely in the South Atlantic States, it will doubtless answer 

 equally as well in Louisiana and Mississippi. 



EndicotVs Seedling. — This is a seedling of Boyden's 30, and very 

 similar in appearance, only the berries are larger and foliage 

 healthier and more abundant. Quality first rate, though the fruit 

 is somewhat tender for a distant market, we would class this 

 variety as tirst class for an amateur-gardener, or parties living 

 in close proximity to a city. 



NEWER KINDS. 



Bidwell. — A new variety originating in Michigan, where it has 

 been grown for a series of years. It has also been tested by many 

 prominent horticultui^ists in the North, who write enthusiastically 

 in its favor. Perhaps some of these gentlemen have plants to sell 

 [Quien sahe). At any rate, we intend investing in a dozen or two 

 plants of the Bidwell, plant them in Lousiana soil, and patiently 

 abide the result. It is described as first class in size, quality and 

 everything else. 



Manchester. 



And now comes the long sought for, found at last Strawberry 

 — something to excel the Wilson in health, productiveness, firm- 

 ness, size, flavor', beauty, general adaptability to all kinds of 

 soils, and every variety of climate. We must have a dozen or 

 two plants of this variety, provided our New Jersey friends, 

 with whom it originated, will not charge us over one dollar a 

 plant. It is said to be a plant with large foliage, immense foot 

 stalks holding a large, magnificent fruit well off the ground, 

 very firm, of good quality, and immensely prolific, either in poor 

 or rich soils. From evidences in its favor we deem it worthy 

 of a fair trial. 



Longfellow, 



A fine large, pointed berry, of excellent quality, and worthy 

 to be largely disseminated. Succeeds will in Arkansas, Tennes 

 see. North Mississippi and Alabama. Like many first class 

 fruits, it is too tender for distant markets. 



Warren.) Champion^ Glendale, Garden and Bed JacJcet are 

 newer sorts not yet tested in the South, but highly lauded in the 

 North and West. Should our readers wish to test these new can- 

 didates for public favor some of them will doubtless prove val- 

 uable. We would, however, impress upon all concerned, to go 

 slow, and not to spend much money on them. A small, experi- 

 mental plat of ground, fifty feet square, well exposed to the sun.
