To siive farther inquires in regard to the 
new hybrids called Mayberry, Strawberi-y- 
Ra.spborry, and Logan Berry, we have no 
phints to offer. A very intelligent horti- 
cultvD-ist, in whose opinion we place great 
reUanee, writes: "After an extended and careful inquiry, I liave come to tlie conclusion 
that there is no merit in them whatever." Many other novelties offered in various cata- 
logues find no room in our collection, tor similar reasons. 
Doulitless our business could not have been carried on for nearly one-half a century 
with unvarying suc.-i-ss, iiidcss it had been honorably conducted. It must have been 
kept abreast of the tinn - ; il umst not have been caught by recommending novelties of no 
real merit, neither chiM mixt^ikes l)e covered by adding new ones. A constant study to 
find among so mucli wliicli is inferior or practically valueless, Trees, Roses and Plants, 
superior in essential points, and push them to the front, ought to (tonnnand respect and 
firing confidence. We have not diminished our business by selling a few front building 
lots, because we have added to our grounds, by the purchase of land of bettor quality and 
nearer the city. Our business must be of benefit to the city and to New England, so far 
as we can supply their horticultural demands, and we hope for continued and unexpected 
orders, both from old and new customers. .
