 hardiest and sweetest 3trawberry ever yet pro- 

 duced ; color dark crimson ; it is perfect (stamin 

 ate), very large, round, and no coxcombs grow on

 out-produce any strawberry plant ever known,

 fine berries as one-year-old. The plants as yet 

 have shown no disease. They are without doubt 

 the largest and best of all grown in the whole

 latent of all to ripen, of good size and quality, a 

 heavy yielder, handsome and firm. Ripens a week

 Standard— $1 per 100. 



Tennessee Prolific — Whilst not strictly anew variety, 

 this is not generally known, and has not received 

 the attention it should. It is already a favorite 

 market sortabout Richmond, Va., some other parts

 a bright crimson, firm and very good in quality.

 of attention. Its large and uniform size, fine color,

EVERGREEN TREES. 



In the winter season, when the landscape is bare of vegetation, the hardy forms of evergreen trees be- 

 come more and more necessary to the American planter. Their exquisite winter aspect and their varying 

 shades of color through the year, give them the highest value in ornamental planting. In planting all ever- 

 greens, the soil should he firmly and thoroughly pressed down, in close contact with all the roots • the latter 

 should never be allowed to get dry before planting. Once dry, an evergreen has small chance of living. 

 Heavy watering at the time of planting and thick covering of the soil above the roots with coarse manure or 

 litter, are essential to success in planting evergreens. " Use no manure" " in contact with the roots, this is 

 most important."

most ornamental for general use. Light, silvery-
