Durand's Seedling Strawberry. 
A new variety produced from a combination of Bovden's 
Green Prulilic, Triomnlie de Gand, ami Peabodv's Seedling. 
The plant is verv hardy and vigorous, has stood entirely nn- 
protectc'l the past iliree winters. The foliage, which is large, 
and of a ricli glossy green, is sufllcieni lor shade, though 
there is not a superabundance to absorb the nourishment 
wliich belongs to the fruit, and it is never affected by sun 
blight. The blossoms are perfect; the fruit Is verv solid, 
large, and uniformly sotln-oughout the season, color scarlet, 
flesh firm, flavor excellent, equalled by verv few Straw- 
berries and surpassed bv none. It is verv prolific, ripening 
with the earliest, and continuing to bear "fine fruii lull two 
weeks after all other varieties are gone. It is emplmtically 
the heM Strawlierry out, and from its Intense soltditv, pro- 
dnctiveness. fine flavor, attractive aiipearance, and'many 
fine qualities combined, it nmst take precedence over all 
others for family, and more csncciallj- as a market fruit. It 
has been seen in' our grounds tlie past season by many ofthe 
prominent Horticulturists ofthe country, and hoiwilbstand- 
ing the fact that our fruit was grown and exhibited under 
veiy unfavorable circumstances, the season here having 
been very cold and wet, yet all pronounced them to be very 
remarkable, and under more favorable circumstances un- 
doubtedly very superior. Those who saw them in 1SG5. In 
Mr. Dnrand's garden, were astonished, and ail pronounced 
them the finest tbcy had ever seen. 
We stake our rcinitation upon tlie veracitv of wliat we say 
of this wonderful Strawberrv, and advise all fruit LTOwers, 
and especially those who sell plants to secure a stock, for as 
this fruit becomes known, the demand for plants will be 
enormous. We received subscriptions for these plants dur- 
ing the past spring and many subscribers upon seeing the 
fruit increased theirorders, several fruin one hundred to one 
tiiousand. Circulars containing further particulars of this 
Strawberry, report d rf Committees ami individuals who have 
seen it, and also a general list of nursery stock furnished to 
all applicants. 
The Dnrand's Seedling will be readvfor distribution about 
August 15th. We will send out strong plants only, at the 
following rates: One plant. T.i cents; t*\-o. $1.2."); six. $3.00;
