really the only ones which have been intro¬ 
duced during that period, that are really 
worthy of praise, with one exception. 
On April 13, 1884, we received from P. M. 
Augur & Son of Middlefield. Conn., a dozen 
plants of the Jewell fctrawberry. We have 
found this to possess more points of merit than 
any other we have ever tested, if we may 
judge by the experience of two seasons. The 
plants are very vigorous and free from dis¬ 
ease. The berries beeia to ripen June 13. 
The average size is large from the beginning 
until the end of the season—the form broadly 
conical, of;en flattened or widened at the top. 
The largest berries with os measured four 
inches iu circumference. The color is a 
bright red, aud the quality is very good, 
though not best. They are firm enough tp 
ship to a distance. Its great claim to 
superiority rests in the vigor of the plants, 
the uniformly large size of the berries, and its 
productiveness, in which latter respect it is 
thought to stand first among all known 
varieties of strawberries. Our first portrait 
of the Jewell was presented in the R. N.-Y. 
of July 13, 1'84, Our present illustration is 
drawn, true to nature, from specimens grown 
the past season at the Rural Experiment 
Grounds. 
As may be seen by reference to our regular 
premium list, we are prepared to give eight 
Jewell Strawberry plants, from the origina¬ 
tor’s grounds, for one new subscriber.

“When’eer an anxious group is seen 
A r ound some monthly magazine 
Or paper that is daily whirled 
To every quarter of the world, 
And merry peals of laughter rise 
As this or that attracts the eyes, 
The smiling crowd you may depend 
Above some illustrations bend 
That advertise the strength and scope 
And purity of Ivory Soap. 
But while they smile or praise bestow 
And wonder whence ideas flow, 
The fact should still be kept in mind 
That people of the knowing kind 
Will heed the hints or lessons laid, 
In rhymes and pictures thus displayed, 
And let no precious moments fly 
Until the Ivory Soap they try. 
And prove on garments coarse and fine 
The truth of every sketch and line. 
If your grocer does not keep the Ivory Soap, send six two-cent stamps, to pay the postage, 
to Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati, and they will send you free a large cake of Ivory Soap.
