" KNOX'S STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 
For many years we have given earnest attention- to the cultivation of Strawberries. Oxir 
long and varied experience gives us great advantages, in the selection of such varieties as will 
give the best satisfaction to the grower, -whether for home or market purposes; our collection, in 
variety, quality, and quantity, is unsurpassed, if equaled anywhere. We call special attention to the 
JUCUNDA— Ottr No. 700. 
After thoroughly testing this variety for six years, we un- 
hesUatingly say, tliat forUNiFonM and lakge sizk, beavty

and other desirable qualities, it is the most valuiihlc straw- 
berry of which wc liave any knowledge. All who liave seen 
it on our grounds, prize it alike higlily.

Seven Huiidrctl.—Tliis variety, forlarge size, produc- 
tiveness, and perfection of form, stands pre-eminently at the 
)icad of the list. In its habit it is very vigorous, npriglit and 
hardy. The leaves are from small to medium in size, and of 
liglitcr rolor than "Wilson. Its flowers are perfect, and fruit- 
ful to an enormous extent. I last year coui'.'.ed trusses that 
had ninety percent, of perfect fruit upon them, as compared 
with th« number of ttowcr--. A most remarkable point of 
value iu this variety is tlie great uuuiber of extra hirge ber- 
ries, I saw sreat quantitic?, ten to twelve berries of which 
filled a pint. These, you must remember, were not merely 
ji fpw selooted ontip for the exhibition tables, but there were 
bushol3 of them sold every day in market, which bronirht 
one dollar per qunrt. This is equal to four or five cents 
Piicli. and may be considered as rather prolltabln.

article, written after visiting our etrawbcriy plantation last 
June, saj-s* But the greatest of all Knox's Strawberries is 
undoubtcclly the "700." Albany Seedlin; bears well, bat

And then its great beauty, lor the color has a tinge of Ver- 
million in it,— its coming tolerably early in the season, and 
continued succession to the end, together with its generally 
large size,— must make it an universal favorite. He seems 
to have tried It and tested it thoroughly, planting in patch- 
es all over the place, and by the side of most other vririplles, 
and It comes off superior to all. 
A. "VV. Harrison, of PhilaiJeJphia, .^cc. of the Pn. State 
ITorticnUural Society, thus speaks of his impressions on see- 
ing the fruit for t)ic first time on om- ground : 
"It so much surpassed the best of all the varieties I had 
carefully cultivated and tested, for many years (over GO in 
nnnibei), lliat I at once determined to plant no otlier, wlicn 
it conld be obtained, and regarded it as the ' Slrawborry of 
tlie fulnre.' p.ar exrollenee. "* • * The plant is as thrifty, 
vigorous and hardy as any I know of. the stout, sloeky fi-nit 
stems bear up a weight of fruit I never saw equaled; and 
SKc'/t //'Hie is worth going miles to see and know. From a 
critical exauiiinition of several hundred plants, then in bear- 
ing, I can state that the fruit was the most uniformly large 
and regularly shaped, of any I have ever seen. I found 
them, almost without exception, of a true conical form. 
seMom nr never cocksnombcd. In color they are brilliant 
scarlet, highly flossy, and brislling all over witli golden yel- 
low Reeds, standing out prominently from the surface. Flesh, 
white, with pale salmon centre, Arm and solid to the centre, 
of an excellent flavor, juicy and rich. In a word. I -would 
only add, that to all who have asked for the last three years, 
my advice what to plant, my luvariaMe reply has becu, 
' Plant Xo, too,' and all my experience to this day confirms 
that opinion."

"THE JUCITXDA, or 700 STRAWBERRY. 
—At the recent meeting of the Ohio Pom. Soc. held in Cin- 
cinnati, Dec 6th, 7th and Stli, 1S0.5, the wonderful qualities of 
this remarkable fruit, were freely discussed, by several gen- 
tlemen, some of whom had seen and watched it for succes- 
sive years. I entirely concur iu the statements that were 
made, as to Us great productiveness, lis large and uniform 
size, aud its protracted f^-ultage, but more especially as to its 
brilliant color, perfect fo»-m and extreme beau- 
ty, and consider it the most reifiarkable frn, of Its class that 
has ever come under my observation."— J xo. A. AVardkr,
