KNOX’S STKAW BERRY PLANTS. 
For many years we have given earnest attention to th© cultivation of Strawberries, Ou4 
long and varied experience gives us great advantages, in the selection of such varieties as will 
give the best satisfaction to the grower, whether for home or market purposes; our collection, in 
variety, quality, and quantity, is unsurpassed, if equaled anywhere. We call special attention to the 
JUCUNDA—Our No. YOO. 
After thoroughly testing this variety for six years, we un¬ 
hesitatingly say, that for tjnifokm and lakge size, beatjtt 
OF FORM AND COLOR, ENOR.MOUS YIELD, LONG CONTINUANCE 
IN BEARING. GREAT I'ROFIT, UE.VLTH AND VIGOR OP PLANT, 
and other desirable qualities, it is the most valuable straw¬ 
berry of which we have any knowledge. All who have seen 
It on our grounds, prize it alike highly. 
Exlvacl from the Ueport of a visit to our place, by Geo, 
3f. Beeler, Sec. of the Indiana State Horticultural Society. 
Seven Hundred.—Tills variety, for large size, produc¬ 
tiveness, and perfection of form, stands pre-eminently at the 
head of the list. In Its habit.it is very vigorous, upright and 
hardy. The leaves are from small to medium in size, and of 
lighter color than Wilson. Its flowers are perfect, and fruit¬ 
ful to an enormous extent. I last year counted trusses that 
had ninety per cent, of perfect fruit upon them, as compared 
with the number of flowers. A most remarkable point of 
value in ’Lis variety is tlie great number of extra large ber¬ 
ries. I saw great quantities, ten to twelve berries of wlilch 
filled a pint. These, you must remember, were not merely 
a few selected ones for the exhibition tables, but there were 
husliels of tliem sold every day in market, which brouglit 
one dollar per quart. This is equal to four or live cents 
each, and may be considered as ratlier profitable. 
Thomas Meehan, Editor of Gardener's Monthly, in an 
article, written after visiting our strawberry plantation last 
June, saj'Sr But the greatest of all Knox’s Strawberries is 
undoubtedly tlie “700.” Albany Seedling bears well, but 
does not equal “TOO.” Triomphe de Gaud has a peculiar fla. 
Tor, preferred by many; more of tliis has “700.” Triomphe 
de Gand is also solid and firm, carries well to the market, 
and .. .inds the pressure of kltclien fingers, and so does "700.” 
And then its great beauty, for the color has a tinge of Ver¬ 
million in it,—its coming toler.ably early in the season, and 
continued succession to the end, together with its generally 
large size,—must make it an universal favorite. He seems 
to have tried it and tested it thorouglily, planting in patch¬ 
es all over the place, and by tlie side of most other varieties, 
and it comes off superior to all. 
A. W. Harrison, of Philadelphia, Sec. of the Pa. State 
Horticultural Society, thus speaks of ids impressions on see¬ 
ing the fruit for the first time on our ground: 
“It so much surpassed the best of all the v.arieties I had 
carefully cultivated and tested, for many years (over 60 in 
number), that I at once determined to plant no other, when 
it could be obtained, and reg.arded it as the ‘ Strawberry of 
tlie future,' par excellence. “ » * » The plant is as tlirifty, 
vigorous and liardy as any I know of, the stout, stocky fruit 
stems hear up a weight of fruit 1 never saw equaled; and 
sucA fruit is worth going miles to see and know. From a 
critical examination of several hundred plants, then in bear¬ 
ing, I can state that the fruit was tlie most uniformly large 
and regularly shaped, of any I have ever seen. I found | 
them, almost without exception, of a true conical form, 
seldom or never cocksconibed. In color they are brilliant 
scarlet, lilglily glossy, and bristling all over witli golden yel¬ 
low seeds, standing out prominently from the surface. Flesli, 
white, with pale salmon centre, firm and solid to the centre, 
of an excellent flavor, juicy and rich. In a word, I would 
only add, that to all who liave asked for the last three years, 
my advice what to plant, my invariable reply has been, 
‘ Plant No. 700,* and all my experience to tins day confirms 
that opinion.” 
“ JUCUND.T.”—.At the meeting of the Ohio Pom. Soo., 
at Cincinnati, Dec. Cth, 7th and 8th, 1365, tlie subject of straw¬ 
berries being under discussion, Jlr. Batkh.vm, tlie Sec., said 
of the Jucunda, "He had seen it in time of ripening at Mr. > 
Knox's, and liad tested it on his own grounds, and could cor. 
roborate all that otliers liad said, of its great beauty, size, 
and excellence of flavor, rendering it much tlie best of all 
the foreign sorts known to liim. It is also very productive, 
and seems to be perfectly liardy, and the fruit is sufficiently 
firm to bear transportation veeW."—Extract from fortheem- i

“THE JUCUNDA, or 700 STRAWBERRY. 
—At the recent meeting of tlie Oliio Pom. Soc., held in Cin¬ 
cinnati, Dec. 6th, 7th and Stii, 1863, the wonderful qualities of 
tills remarkable fruit, were freely discussed, by several gen¬ 
tlemen, some of wliora had seen and watclied it for succes¬ 
sive years. I entirely concur in tlie statements that were 
made, as to its great productiveness, its large and uniform 
size, and its protracted fruitage, but more especially as to its 
brilliant color, perfect form and extreme bean- 
ty, and consider it the most remarkahle fru, of its class that 
lias ever come under my observation.”— Jno. A. Warder, 
President.
