McAvoi/x Extra Red we reject ; it is the sourest and most 

 worthless of all Strawberries, and is readily distinguish- 

 ed by its red runners, and deep red fruit. It is astonish- 

 ing that ;Mr. Longworth should have so per^ erted his 

 judgment as to recommend it. In 'Mlooijer's Western 

 Fruit Book,'' published at Cincinnati, Mr. ][. lias con- 

 fused the two varieties and described tliem under one 

 Lead, and we have repeatedly seen the former exhibited 

 under this name, whereas there are no two varieties more 

 dissimilar. It would appear that Longworth committed 

 the same bluudcr, so inexcusable, as they both originated 

 in, and were sent from his own garden with their respect- 

 ive names, Mr Downing doulitless from adopting their 

 ]>lunder falls into the same error.
