Tlie largest Strawberry in tUe AVorld. 
I exhibited in June laat at tlie omce of the Agriculturist, 
41 rnrk Row. N. Y., at tiie great Strawberry Sliow, a plaut 
less than 10 months old. with 204 perfect berries on it: tlila is 
about twice as many as has yet liceu [iroduccd £votv tlie Wil- 
son. Kiissell, or any other variety, iVoin a plant of the same 
a^e. The plant exhibited wiis no more remarkiible in pro- 
ductiveness than a hundred others in mygarden, which were 
examined by Charles Downing, W. F. Heins. Prof. Thurber, 
iiiid P. B. Mead. The berry is a briiijlit, glossy crimson, the 
tUe IsJ enormous, the average berries exceeding anything 
ever before seen in tlie Strawberry' line. 
The plaut flora which my stock lias bRen produced, exhib- 
ited remarkable bearing properties; nearly all the youuj 
plants bore iVuit from June to October, the first season. Last

THE 
GREAT BPFALO STRAWBERRY 
SMITH'S BUFFALO SEEDLUSTG. 
Oi-lg^inated iu 1857« In Btiffalo, N. V. 
ABNGR H. BRYANT,.... Sole Owner and Proprietor. 
This Strawberry is destined to take the lead of 
ALL OXaER VAKIKTIES YKT BROUGHT TO PUBLIC NOTICK. IT 
combines IN ITSELF AND DISTINCTLY AND PERFECTLY DK- 
VELOPHS EVERY ESSENTIAL QUALITY THAT CAN BE FOUND 
IN ALL THE BEST VARIETIES; IN FACT, IT IS NOT DEFICIENT 
IN ANYTHING ESSENTIAL TO A SUPERIOR AND UNIVERSAL- 
LY POPULAR Strawberry. 
Having carefully tested its merits for seven years, T know 
whereof I speak and am ready to defend the BUKPALO 
STRAWBERRY from any attacks made upon it. 
It's great producttvenesy. size, flavor, and firmness, and its 
wonderful vUalityand liardiness, pei feeling its fruit even in 
extreme drought, and enduring tlie winter without protec- 
tion, make It the best Strawberry ever introduced, and I 
challense the world to produce its equal. 
(Extract from "Moore's llnral New-Yorkei," .Inly ICth, 
3864. Mr. Bragdon having previously visited my grounds in 
Bnfl'alo.) 
"The plant Is evidently a stronsr grower, hardv, and has 
\'1tality enouuh to perfect all its fruit." "The fruit Is more 
ncid than the Trloinphe. and less than the Knssell. It is 
both firm and solid. It is a firmer fruit than the Russell. It is 
remarkaiily solid. We cnt open a hundred berries antl failed 
to find one that was not nerfect in this respect. And this Is 
Important to consnmer.i.' "It ia a very attractive berrj-— 
far more so than tlie Wilson, and not Inferior to the Triom- 
phe. In beauty and regularitv of form and brilliancy of col- 
or, It excels the Kiiasell, as we have seen the latter." 
(Extract from testimonlHl of Benj'u Hodge, Esq.. Buflalo, 
one of the oldest and moat experienced fruit growers in the 
State.) 
"Its combination of superior qualiiies renders the 'Buffa- 
lo Seedling,' in niv oninlun, the best Strawberry that has yet 
been introduced to the American public." 
From Lewis P. Allen, lisq.. Black Uock. N, Y. 
"After making thoroush trial of the best of our popular 
varieties, I do not hesitate to pronounce tlie ' Butl'alo Seed- 
ling' the best I have known. I know of no strawbeirv 
Which In all its combinations of excellence is eqiial to this.*' 
Lewis F. Allen. 
As some parties have advertised plants purporting to be 
"Bnflalo Seedling." at a reduced price, to wliom I never pold 
any, and asothcrs fi-om either ignorance or interested mo- 
tives are endeavoiing to make it appear that the "Buftalo" 
Is identical wltli the ^' Ku^sell " (which is absurd, thvrt^. being 
no similarity in character and appearance of the fi'uit). I 
advise all who want the gt'nuine article to send direct to me 
for it. tlius avoiding all dancer of imposition.

The discoveiy and introduction of the Adirondac Grape Is 
an event of the highest importance to fruit gi-owers, and the 
greatest advance yet attained in Native grapes. 
Its peculiarities are. extreme earliness, large berries and 
clusters, tender and thin skin, melting without any percep- 
tible pulp, and of the most delicious and delicate flavor,
