The Bartlett Strawberry, 
The Subscriber, having thoroughly tested this new strawber¬

known varieties, can confidently recommend it as one of the best, 
either for the garden or maiket. It is a large variety, flowers 
perfect, nearly as productive as the Wil.-on, but every way 
superior to it in quality. Its firmness and fine crimson color

ries, what the Bartlett Pear is among pears, an indispen¬ 
sable variety for general cultivation.

(SPl.We the undersigned having ordered largely of the plants 
of the Austin Seedling Strawberry, subject to a countermand, 
if not satisfied when seeing the fruit and plants in bearing, 
were induced to visit Watervliet, where it originated, and see 
for ourselves the true condition of this variety. We found it 
growing in the most common way, in masses, and not in hills, 
without any particular care, and’much injured by the drought, 
yet the great productiveness, and uniform large size, and fine 
flavor induces us, to consider the Austin as one of the best va¬ 
rieties in cultivation,and a great acquisition to our small fruits. 
We found the Austin averaging considerably larger than the 
Wilson, and about as productive, and from appearances will con¬ 
tinue to fruit into July.
