62. Pcabody's Seedling, EL Described by him thus, " Largest; 

 size, most beautiful, rich, deep crimson color, of 

 finest flavor, flesh firm, melting and juicy, bears 

 transportation better than any Strawberry ever cul-, 

 tivated. It is the earliest of all Strawberries, bloom- 

 ing just as soon as the frost will permit, and continues 

 in fruit till fall. It is a hard}', rapid, and vigorous' 

 grower, an abundant bearer, and adapted to any 

 latitude where the Strawberry will fruit." This 

 would seem praise enough ; but how Mr. P. can pro- 

 nounce his Strawberry superior to all otheis, when 

 we alone have more than 100 varieties that he has 

 never seen, besides which there are many others, — 

 is really beyond our conception. The title " Haut- 

 bois" he has erroneously applied to it, as it can 

 only be correctly applied to a small European spe- 

 cies (Frag/ana elatior), whereas this is a variety of 

 an American speeies. Furthermore, the " Hautbois " 

 and the "Alpine or Wood" are the only species of 

 European origin, both of which have small fruit, and! 

 are entirely distinct in their foliage and Appear- 

 ance; and although they have been cultivated for 

 two centuries in connection with the American va- 

 rieties, they have never been known to hybridize 

 with them. Of the merits of Mr. P.'s Strawberry, we: 

 have not had sufficient opportunity to form am 

 opinion. We do not doubt his statements, but we' 

 well know that Hermaphrodites cannot produce even, 

 "a medium crop, unless by special culture, cutting off
