We are always glad to see first-rate reports 
respecting the Sharpless Strawberry which the 
Rural was among tho flirt to test and recom- 
mend to its friends. Mr. A. M. Purdy, of 
Palmyra, N. Y., says that, without a single ex¬ 
ception, it is the largest strawberry on liis 
grounds, and ho cultivates all sorts. lie also 
says that it is tho most solid and luscious to 
oat out of hand. When nearly all others, ex¬ 
cept Glendale and Kentucky, were gone, the 
Sharp loss vines had a splendid show of greon 
and ripe fruit, promising to yield for a week 
or ten days longer, When most other kinds 
sold for seven or eight cents, tho Sharpless 
sold readil y for 10 or 12. Mr. Purdy says that 
its yield with him is simply enormous, the 
ground along tho rows being literally covered 
with tho largo, beautiful fruit and tho pick¬ 
ers can gather a quart of them more quickly 
than of any other kind. Ellwanger & Barry, 
we believe, wore tho first to offer tho Sharp¬ 
less for sale. It has always done well at the 
Rural Experiment Grounds, tho vines remain¬ 
ing strong and healthy while others in the 
same plot have proven comparatively feeble 
and unproductive.
