GREAT AGRICULTURIST. 
Tlie largest Strawberry in tbc^World. 
, I exhibited in June last at tiie Offlee of the Agriculturist, 
41 Park Row, N. T., at tlie great Strawberry Show, a plant 
less than 10 months old, witli 291 perfect berries on it: this is 
abont twice as many as lias yet been produced from the 'Wil¬ 
son, Kussell, or any otlier variety from a plant of the same 
«ge. The plant exhibited was no more remarkable in pro- 
dnctlveness than a Imndred otliers in my garden, which were 
examined by Charles Downing, W. F. Heins, Prof. Tlmrber, 
•nd P. B. Mead. The berry is a bright, glossy crimson, the 
size is enormous, the average berries exceeding anything 
ever before seen in the Strawberry line. 
The plant from which my stock has been produced, exhib- 
Sted remarkable bearing properties; nearly all the young 
plants bore fruit from June to October, the first season. Last 
season the young plants were constantly fruiting every 
month until frost. 1 liave a large stock of prime plants at 
the following rates: 2 plants $1.20; 6 plants $3,00; 12 plants 
$5.00; 100 plants $25.00; 1000 plants $200.

TME 
GREAT BUFFALO STRAWBERRY 
SMITH’S BUFFALO SEEDLING-. 
Originated in 1857, in ISuffalo, N. Y. 
ABNXIR H. ERTAlVT,....Sole Owner and Proprietor. 
Tnis Strawbebry is destined to take the lead of 
ALL OTHER VARIETIES YET BROUGHT TO PUBLIC NOTICE. IT 
COJiBINES IN ITSELF AND DISTINCTLY AND PERFECTLY DE- 
VELOPES EVERY ESSENTIAL QUALITY THAT CAN BE FOUND 
IN ALL THE BEST VARIETIES; IN FACT, IT IS NOT DEFICIENT 
IN ANYTHING ESSENTIAL TO A SUPERIOR AND UNIVERSAL¬ 
LY POPULAR STRAIVBEKRY. 
Having carefully tested its merits for seven vears. I know 
whereof I speak and am ready to defend tlie BTJPPAIjO 
STRAtVBERRY from any attacks made upon it. 
It’s great productiveness, size, flavor, and firmness, and its 
wonderful vitality and hardiness, perfecting its fruit even in 
extreme drought, and enduring tiie wintef'without protec¬ 
tion, make it the best Strawberry ever introduced, and I 
challenge the world to produce its equal. 
(Extract from “Moore’s Rural New-Yorker,” July 16th, 
1864. Mr. Bragdon having previously visited my grounds in 
Buffalo.) 
“The plant is evidently a strong grower, haidy, and has 
vitality enough to perfect all its fruit.” “The fruit is more 
acid than the Trioinplie, and less than the Russell. It is 
both firm and solid. It is a firmer fruit tiian tlie Russell. It is 
remarkably solid. We cut open a liiiiidred berries and failed 
to find one tliat was not perfect In tliis respect. And tliis is 
Important to consumers. “It is a very attractive berry- 
far more so tlian tlie Wilson, and not inferior to the Triom- 
plie. In beauty and regularity of form and brilliancy of col¬ 
or, it excels tlie Russell, as we liave seen tlie latter.” 
(Extract from testimonial of Benj’n Hodge, Esq., Buffalo, 
one of the oldest and most experienced fruit growers in the 
State.) 
“ Its combination of superior qualities renders the ‘ Buffa¬ 
lo Seedling,’ in my opinion, the best Strawberry that has yet 
oeen introduced to tiie American public.” 
From Lewis F. Allen, Esq., Black Rock. N. Y. 
“After making thorough trial of the best of oiir popular 
varieties, I do not hesitate to pronounce the ‘Buffalo Seed¬ 
ling ’ the best I have known. I know of no strawberry 
which in all its combinations of excellence is equal to tliis.” 
Lewis F. Allen. 
As some parties have advertised plants purporting to be 
“Buffalo Seedling,” at a reduced price, to whom I never sold 
any, and as others from either ignorance or interested mo¬ 
tives are endeavoring to make it appear tliat the “ Buffalo ” 
Is identical with tlie “ Russell ” (which is absurd, there being 
no similarity in character and appearance of the fruit). 1 
advise all who want tlie genuine article to send direct to me 
for it, thus avoiding all danger of imposition.

The discovery and introduction of the Adirondac Grape is 
an event of the higliest Impcn-tance to fruit growers, and tlie 
greatest advance yet attained in Native grapes. 
Its peculiarities are, extreme earlir.ess, large berries and 
clusters, tender and thin skin, melting witliont any pereep- 
tihle pulp, and of the most delicious and delic.ate flavor, 
reminding one of that splendid IIot-House Grape, the 
Black Hamburg.” Address JOHN W. BAILEY, 
Plattsburgh, Clinton Co., N. Y.

This new peach stands unrivalled for its earliness, produc¬ 
tiveness and early hearing qualities.

best very early variety.
