their large assortment of Foreign Grapes, some seventy varieties 
of which they are fruiting under glass.

ral discounts will be made.

FOR SALE. 
A Farm of 325 acres, in Fishkill, Dutchess County. It is one 
of the choicest sections in the County. The Farm is partly of 
high limestone land, and with some rich alluvial meadows lying 
along the Matteawan Creek. The buildings are new and extern 
sive—the fences all good-—and the soil in fine condition. In¬ 
creased production can be obtained from inexhaustible supplies 
of muck and limestone on the farm. It lies 5 miles from the 
Hudson River; which with the villages, mills, and factories 
around, afford near and abundant market. 
To a gentleman, the beauty of this part of the country, and the 
variety of scenery, make it a desirable country residence. 
For further particulars address (post-paid) William VanWyck, 
Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York.

SUPERIOR STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 
The Subscribers have now ready for delivery from their garden 
at Astoria, L. I., several thousands of the best Strawberry plants 
in cultivation, and among them a limited stock of a new and un¬ 
surpassed American Seedling, called “ North's Victory ,” raised 
by an intelligent practical gardener in the country, and which for 
size, flavor, and great product, is not surpassed by any foreign or 
domestic variety at present known. We have tested its quali¬ 
ties for two seasons, and assert with confidence, and warrant, as 
stated. Price $1 per dozen—the plants strongly rooted, three in 
a pot, which can be divided and planted out immediately, the 
present moist season being highly favorable to their rooting firmly 
in the ground. 
Also Hovei/s Boston Pine , $2 per dozen— Buist's (of Phila¬ 
delphia) Prize, 02 per dozen— Princess Alice Maude, @1 per 
dozen, very early and fine— Princess Royal, $2 per dozen— 
British Queen, $3 per 100— Myatt's Eliza, $3 per 100—this 
last is a superior variety, good bearer, and of exquisite pine flavor 
—extra fine.— Prince Albert (true), $1.50 per dozen— Victoria, 
$2 per 100, one of the very best in cultivation— Iowa, $1 per 
dozen, fine new sort— Swainstone, $1 per dozen, with several 
other sorts, but those named above are among the best. All the 
Above are in pots, strongly rooted, and making runners, a much 
belter mode than hastily taking up and planting out, as the 
plants having little stability in themselves, are killed by a single 
day’s exposure to the sun ; this is why so many fail to grow. 
Also Scotch Pine Apple or Crimson Cone, an unrivalled sort, 
possessing every good quality, $2 per 100—carefully transplanted 
from the bed, and well packed. J. M. THORBURN & CO., 
15 John Street.
