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 anew and un¬ 
surpassed American Seedling, called “ North's Victory," raised 
by an intelligent practical gardener in the country, and which for 
size, flavor, arid 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 Hovey's Boston Pine, $2 per dozen— Buist's (of Phila¬ 
delphia) Prize , $2 per dozen— Princess Alice Maude, $1 per 
dozen, very early and fine— Princess Royal, $2 per dozen— 
British Queezi, $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 
better mode than hastily taking up and planting out, as the 
plants having little stability in themselves, and 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 
Iron! the bed, and well packed. J. M. THORBURN & CO.,
