Hermaphrodites to fertilize them, which can begrown in separate proximate beds. As a 

 positive fact, based on physical structure, the Pistillate Varieties of any family will 

 produce 50 per cent, more fruit per acre than Hermaphrodites. H. denotes Hermaphro- 

 dites ; P., Pistillates. The best periods for planting are March and April, and August to 

 November. We puddle the roots, and don't lose one per cent. In field culture, when 

 planted in rows 2 by 1)/ z feet, it requires 9,000 plants to an acre. We invite all amateurs 

 to inspect our collection at the fruiting season, it being the most extensive one in 

 existence. They can then judge as to all points, whereas the exhibitions of selected 

 berries are deceptive and do not give the full knowledge desired. We grow our Straw- 

 berries for the increase of plants, and without forcing the size of the berries. We refer 

 to Prof. Huntsman, the most intelligent of all our amateurs, as to the great superiority 

 of our collection over all others, and to its precise accuracy. 



N. B. — For 50 plants of any variety the price will be 2}£ times the price named for a 

 dozen.
