NEW STRAWBERRY.— THE LEADER. 
Although the list of varieties 
is already large, yet it is the 
opinion of noted cultivators that 
this is a very valuable ac- 
quisition. It claims to be 
an extra strong staminate, 
very prolific, producing a 
very large berry of crim- 
son color, and is extra early, 
was ripe on the sixth of last 
June. On the 13th it was ex- 
hibited before the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society and re- 
ceived a gratuity, it being too early 
for prizes on that day. June 20 it 
received a first-class certificate of 
merit, .^t the regular Rose and 
Strawberry Exhibition, June 25, it 
was awarded the First Prize. The 
I'ruit Committee of this Society and 
other noted cultivators have visited the beds 
of the originator and have received very fav- 
oraljle impressions in regard to its value. 
Price, per plant, 25 cents; per dozen, $2; 
per hundred, $10. 
ANDROMEDA SPECIOSA. 
This is a low-growing shrub, usually from two to four feet in height. Its large, 
bell-shaped waxy white flowers are singularly lieautiful. They are often half an 
inch across the tubes and rival the choicest Heaths. It has proved hardy at the 
Botanic Garden in Cambridge, Massachusetts, without any protection for many 
years. But it will doubtless be advisable to peg it down to the ground and lightly 
cover it with earth during the winter. Its superior beauty will amply repay such 
slight protection. As a plant for forcing under glass it is confidently recom- 
mended to florists who wish for choice flowers. It will prove to be one of the 
very best and most profitable for cutting and for decoration. 
Fine flowering plants, 50 to 75 cents each.
