Dui-and’s SeedSing Strawberry, 
A new variety produced from a combination of Boyden’s 
Green Prolific, Triomplie de Gand, and Peabody’s Seedling. 
Tlie plant is very liardy and vigorous, lias stood entirely un¬ 
protected tlie past tliree ivinters. Tlie foliage, wliicli is large, 
and of a ricli glossy green, is sufficient for sliade, though 
there is not a superabundance to absorb the nonrisliment 
wliicli belongs to the fruit, and it is never affected by sun 
bliglit. The blossoms are perfect; tlie fruit is very solid, 
large, and uniformly so througliout tlie season, color scarlet, 
flesh firm, flavor excellent, equalled by very few Straw¬ 
berries and surpassed by none. It is very prolific, ripening 
with tlie earliest, and continuing to hear ‘fine fruit full two 
weeks after ail other varieties are gone. It is empliatlcally 
the best Strawberry out, and from its intense solidity, pro¬ 
ductiveness, fine flavor, attractive appearance, and many 
line qualities combined, it must take precedence over all 
otliers for family, and more especially as a market fruit. It 
has been seen in our grounds the p.ast season by many of the 
prominent Horticulturists of the country, and notwitlistand- 
mg the fact tliat our fruit was grown and exiilbitcd under 
very unfavorable circumstances, the season here having 
been very cold and wet, yet all pronounced them to he very 
remarkable, and under more favorable circumstances un- 
doulitedly very superior. Those wlio saw tliem in 1805, in 
Mr. Durand’s garden, were astonished, and all pronounced 
tliem the finest tlicy liad ever seen. 
■We stake onr reputation upon tlie veracity of wliat we say 
of this wonderful Strawberry, and advise all knit growers, 
and especially those who sell plants to secure a stock, for as 
tills knit becomes known, the demand for plants will be 
enormous. We received subscriptions for these plants dur¬ 
ing the past spring and many subscribers upon seeing the 
knit increased tlieir orders, several from one hundred to one 
thousand. Circulars containing further particulars of this 
StrawheiTj’, reports of Committees and individuals wlio liave 
seen it, and also a general list of nursery stock furnished to 
all applicants. 
Tlie Durand’s Seedling will be ready for distribution about 
August 15th. We will send out strong plants only, at the 
following rates: One plant, 75 cents; two, $1.25; six, $3.00; 
twelve, .$5.00; fifty, $15.00; one bundred. .$25.00; onetlions-

in full, and be particular to state wlietlier to send by Express
