SPECIAL PREMIUM .... No, iS. 
94 Itidwell Strawberry Plants. —Sent Post-paid. 
Or: 15 Pot<Gr«\vn Plants, sent by Express, Unpaid. 
Last season we pronounced the Hi dwell the most promising new variety 
of Strawberries for general garden or field culture, taking into account pro* 
ducliveness, size, :m«l excellent quality. The reports from 
various parts of the country have strengthened this opinion. We distributed 
some 20.000 plants as special premiums in midsummer, so that a good many 
of our last year’s readers now have them planted. As a considerable stock 
of new plants was grown in summer and autumn, we have been able to 
arrange for a further distribution of a limited supply for Spring planting, so 
that those who did not get them last year, and new subscribers also, may 
have opportunity to do so now. Each parcel will contain One Hollar's 
worth of the Plants. If the layers are preferred, each parcel will contain 
94 Plants, safely packed by Mr. E. P. Roe, and forwarded post-paid. 
The pot-grown plants are packed in a basket with their roots in the ‘ 
balls of pot earth, so that they can start off in growth at once, and multiply 
very largely the present year. The layer plants will, of course, multiply a 
good deal, but the pot-grown will do this so much more rapidly that, except 
for long distances, it will be better to choose the pot-grown and pay the small 
expressage on a basket of them. Of all we had sent by mail last year, to dif¬ 
ferent parts of the country, into nearly every State and Territory, we heard of 
but one loss, though they were mainly forwarded during the unusual hot, dry 
summer. They can, of course, go safely anywhere, to all parts of the 
country, during the Spring months. 
OUR OFFER. 
24 of the Bidwell Strawberry Plants will be sent post-paid by mail, or, 
if preferred, 15 of the Pot-Grown Plants, packed in a basket and sent by 
express, expressage unpaid, to any actual subscriber to the American Agricul¬ 
turist who shall send one new subscriber to the American Agriculturist at 
the regular subscription price of $1.50 a year.
