THE GREAT AUSTIN SHAKER 
SEEDLING STRAWBERRY 
IS BELIEVED TO BE THE LARGEST STRAW¬ 
BERRY IN THE WORLD. 
This remarkable Strawberry originated at our settlement in 
Watervliet. N. Y , four years ago, and owing toils immense 
size, in an v have been induced to visit our garden, and examine 
for themselves the merits of this berry ; and we believe but one 
opinion lias been expressed—that it is the greatest acquisition 
ever made to our small fruits. A gentleman, a practical horti¬ 
culturist, on a recent visit to England, having seen all of their 
largest strawberries, says the Austin Seedling is the largest 
strawberry he has ever seen. The Austin is believed to pos¬ 
sess, in a remarkable degree, all of the most desirable qualities 
f*»r a favorite family or market berry. It was grown beside the 
Wilson’s Albany Seedling last year in our garden, boh receiving 1 
the same cultivation. The Austin was twice as large as the 
Wilson, and quite as productive. The flavor is of the best, 
much like that of the wild or common field strawberry. All 
who tasted it decided it to be much superior to the Wilson. 
The following is a correct description: Plant of uncommon 
vigor, foliage very large, footstalks long aud very stout, holding 
the immense fruit from the ground, fruit very large and broad¬ 
ly conical, color bright crimson, flesh rather firm, mildly acid, 
with a rich and high flavor, flowers staniinate, in full bearing 
about the 25th of June. Some of the berries will measure over 
two inches in diameter ; twelve picked from a bed without ex¬ 
tra selection weighed one pound. The condition of our soil does 
not favor the best, results for this remarkable berry, the soil be¬ 
ing sandy and poor, never having been trenched. Amateurs vis¬ 
iting our garden and examining the soil where the Austin is 
growing, believe that this monster may be increased one third 
in size in ground well trenched and properly manured. 
We are aware that many new seedling strawberries have 
been offered to the public that have not given satisfaction, as 
they did not prove as represented. We propose to exhibit plants 
of the Austin in full bearing, in pots, and berries in baskets, 
from the 15th June to the 4tli July, at the following places: 
Wm. S. Carpenter’s office, 468 Pearl-street,New-York ; at the 
office of the American Agriculturist, 189 Water street, New- 
York ; office '-f Hovey's Magazine of Horticulture, Boston ; office 
of Moore's Rural New-Yorker, at Roches'er; office of Country 
Gentleman, Albany; Farmers’ Club of American Institute, 
New-York; and at Philadelphia. This will give all an oppor¬ 
tunity to see and taste this remarkable berry ; and if any, hav¬ 
ing ordered, d > not feel satisfied after seeing for themselves, 
the money will be refunded, if desired, before the plants are de¬ 
livered The plants will be sold tor $4 per dozen, or $25 per 
hundred. Orders received immediately for plants to be deliv¬ 
ered, commencing in August in rotation as ordered. All orders 
must be accompanied with cash. 
We could give many certificates from gentlemen of undoubt¬ 
ed integrity who have seen and tasted the berry, -who fully in¬ 
dorse our statements, if we thought it necessary, but we prefer 
exhibiting the plants and berries as above described, that no 
one may be deceived.

COOK’S PORTABLE 
SUGAR EVAPORATOR! 
FOR MAKING SORGHUM AND MAPLE SUGAR, 
was used hist season, its success in the actual manufac¬ 
ture of Sugar is fully demonstrated. The certificates 
given below are but a small part of those received during 
a singe week.

BLYMYERS, BATES & DAY, Manufacturers, 
Mansfield, Ohio. 
Frojn Hon J. M. MILLIKIN , Member of the Ohio State Board 
of Agriculture. 
Mr. Millikin bought a No. 4 Copper Pan for boiling Maple 
Sap last Spring, and expresses liis opinion as follows: 
“IT IS ENTIRELY TOO GOOD FOR MY USE. I bought 
it to make Maple Molasses, but the Pan, by its remarkable yet 
scientific defecating arrangement, so thoroughly deprives the 
Syrup of its gummy or glucose matters, that before I was aware, 
the whole mass was hurried into Sugar, and I am free to say 
that the Sugar was the most perfectly grained and finest colored 
Sugar lever saw. Owing to this beautifuly defecating principle 
in the Pan, I have no doubt it will be equally successful in mak¬ 
ing Sugar Irom Sorghum or any other saccharine juices.” 
Hamilton , O. 
Mansfield, Oliio, May 13, I860. 
Messrs. Blymyers, Bates & Day: * * The Evaporator 
gave me perfect satisfaction. The Syrup from my best cane 
(kept separate) grained in three days’ time, and made as beauti¬ 
ful an article of Sugar as any New Orleans JOHN REED. 
Defiance, Ohio, May 11, i860. 
Messrs. Blymyers, Bates & Day: * * * i used one of 
your Evaporators last year with great success, and made 575 
gallons of the thickest and best Syrup I ever saw. On the 1st 
of May I set away a large portion of it to grain, and now in tea 
days’ time it lias sugared, and is well crystalized and dry. 
I also made a quamity of Syrup for Mr. Franks, a neighbor, 
who did not set it for Sugar, but it has gone to Sugar in the 
barrel. _^_ J. q. BEATTIE. 
Messrs. Blymyers, Bates St Day: * * Imadetwelvebarreli* 
of very nice syrup, very clear and pleasant tasted. I sold all but 
one barrel, which I put away for my own use. During the win¬ 
ter I placed a portion of it in a warm room according to your di¬ 
rections. to crysfalize and succeeded beyond my most sanguine 
expectations. The result lias been a well crystalized and dry 
sugar. Hud I known as much last fall as I do now, I would 
have sugared the whole lot. The Evaporator is all that is need¬ 
ed to make Sugar successfully from good Sorghum juice. You 
are at liberty to use this as you see proper, 
Florida , Henry Go., O. ISAAC KARSNER. 
Tecumseii, Michigan, May 20th, 1860. 
Messrs. Blymyers, Bates & Day : It has more than met 
my expectations. My cane did not fully ripen yet I succeeded 
in making sugar, having found no difficulty at all in its grain¬ 
ing. Your machine is all you represented it to be, and it is 
the only Pan that has had any success with cane juice in this 
neighborhood. Some of my neighbors have also made Cane 
Sugar on your Evaporator. JOHN RICHARD. 
The following is from one of Vermont’s most noted and enter¬ 
prising Agriculturists: 
I am well satisfied with it, and shall have no liesiiancy in 
recommending it to all sugar makers—(if I did not like it I 
should be the last one to recommend it toothers). It boils fast¬ 
er, takes less wood, and makes better Sugar than can be done 
in any other way. 
GEO. CAMPBELL, Westminster, Yt. 
This is to certify that in the fall of 1858, I made 60 pounds of 
good Sugar from Sorghum, and I have ever since used Cook’s 
Evaporator, and in every instance it has given me perfect satis¬ 
faction. I have now in my house several gallons of well granu¬ 
lated Syrup which will make a beautiful article of Sug^rwhen 
1 come to drain it. ENOCH PAINE, Springfield, III. 
Marion, Iowa, May 29, i860. 
Messrs. Blymyers, Bates & Day : * * 1 enclose 
you a sample of my sugar. I had no trouble in making it. I 
put nothing into it. to cleanse H—ibis is just as it came from the 
Evaporator—it has not been reboiled. Yours
