and French— the last, undoubtedly one of tlie finest and 
most profitable earlv sorts grown, on account of yielding the 
bulk of Its line, beautiful fruit so early, 30 cents per dozen ; 
ti per 100, Green Prolific.— We agree with Francis 
Brill, of New Jersev. who savs of this variety : "This we 
Slace .first on the list of tried varieiics. Its originator. Seth 
ovden. places it lor aenerat cultivation, above his famous 
' AoKiouLTVRiST.' aud so do we. We do not claim this as a 
perfect Strawberry, for such does not exist, hut we do say. It 
possesses a prcate'r combination of ;;ood qualities than any 
other before the public." I'lants that we pct last spring have 
formed the most enormous and astonishing "stools" that 
we ever saw. and the same produced more truit last season 
than the Wilson's Albany set the August before. 50 cents

as the last, except of a beautiful, golden color. $3 per dozen ; 
$12 per 100. PuBPLE Cane.— Undoubtedly the most enor- 
mous bearing l^aspberry grown— the strong, stocky bushes 
hanging literally loaded with fruit of a purplish, red color, 
and having the delicious flavor of the wild Red liaspberry, 
we do mo.st emphatically pronounce it the best and most 
productive Itaspberry grown to our knowledge, $1 per doz.; 
$5 per 100. Catawissa.— The best "everbearing" sort we 
know of. It yields a heavy continuous crop of large, delic- 
ious, purplish, red fruit, late in the season, for a number of 
weeks, when no other small fruits are to be had, thereby 
making it indispensable for table use. f2 per doz.; f 12 per 100.

by layering the tips of the new growth, and neither has ever
