Taking all things together, now that the South Western 
Railroad is penetrating that country, I know of no cotton 
region so desirrble for the planters of Georgia and South 
Carolina to transport their surplus slaves. And, though 
the climate may not agree with the constitution of .^o^jne 
white.s; for negroes, there is but little doubt that they do 
as well there as in any portion of Georgia or South Caro- 
lina. WlDDLE GeORGI.A.V.

PEABODFS NEW SEEDLING STRAWBERRY. 
Subscriber has origiuated a New Seedling STRAWBER- 
I RY, which combines more good qualities to make up a perfect 
berr^’ than any ever yet introduced, viz: It is of the largest size, 
measuring six and seven inches in circumference ; it is of beautiful 
form, attached to the calyx by a polished coral-like neck without 
.<eed.s ; rich, deep crimson color ; fruit iiorne on tall foot-stalk.s, of 
the most exquisite pine havor ; flesh firm, melting and juicy ; and 
bears transportati m better than any Strawberry ever cultivated. 
(See engraving and description of the plant in the present [Novem- 
ber] number of this journa .) 
I will be prepared to send the plants out, whenever the following 
tenns are complied with. Not a plant of this variety has ever left 
my grounds, nor ever wUl, until the propositions below are sub- 
scribed to. I propose to get one thousand .subscriptions at $.5 per 
dozen plants, thioughout the whole country. Subscribers on for- 
warding their name.-, and i>ost oflice addre.s.s, with the number of 
dozen desired, will receive by retiu-n mail a beautiful colored plate 
of the vine and fruit, drawn from nature ; and as soon as the thou- 
sand subscriptions are made up, 1 will notify each subscriber, when 
the money may be mailed to me, and I will put the plant.s up in 
moss, envelope them in oilsilk, and foi-ward them by maiL By this 
method they can be sent to any part of the Union with safety and 
dispatch. I have sent packages of iOO of the common strawberrj- 
1,000 miles by mail, without the loss of a plant. Packages of one 
dozen will go through the mail as ccrtamiv as a letter. 
Subscribers, on receiving the colored plates will please show 
their friends, that it may hasten the completion of the list. From 
one dozen plants, one thousand may be produced the first year. 
This plant is the hermaphrodite, always bearing perfect crops of 
fruit, without an impregnator. 
Directions for the cultm-e of this plant will be sent with each 
colored plate. CHARLES A. PEABODY.
