TWO DOLLARS FOR TWO GRAINS. 
Please send me two grains of your cross 
between the Diehl-Mediterranean and the 
Landreth Wheals. I have both kinds, but 
was not able to make the cross. I would 
gladly give two dollars for the two grains, if 
you would sell them.

Remarks;— The Rural New-Yorker, as 
all of its older readers know, never sells seeds 
or plants or anything whatever, except the 
Rural itself. Even the products of our Ex¬ 
periment Grounds and farms ore never sold, 
except in the ordinary way or to dealers. 
Were it otherwise the Rural might justly 
be considered a “trade” paper, and its reports 
of fruits, grains, trees, shrubs, etc , would be 
open to the suspicion that they were made in 
order to induce sales. 
in consequence of the lately Increased facilities 
afforded by our uew and extensive factory, wbl b Is

THE 
The Eaton Grape, from samples sent to this 
office strikes us favorably. The berries are 
large; they hold well to the stems which are 
very thick. In quality the berry is distinct, 
being juicy, vinous almost to acidity, and 
yet of an agreeable flavor. We have received 
a trial vine from John B. Moore, who thinks 
he can grow half pouud bunches next year 
on four-year-old vines.

Address for circulars and Prices 
As Agricultural Editor of the Tribune, 
I have access to the exchanges, and all agri¬ 
cultural exchanges come immediately to me. 
The Rural New-Yorker is one of the papers 
that I file, and, if I were taking even but two 
or three agricultural journals, yours would 
surely be one of them. Its departments are 
unique, and the matter made public each year 
in experimental work of the Rural Farm I 
consider as of the first importance to read¬ 
ing and thinking farmers. It is “a good 
friend, and a safe companion to the family,” 
and hence, will hold friends once made. Of 
the large number of agricultural journals I 
receive I file but five or six. You know how 
soon such things accumulate in bulk; hence, 
only a few can be retained more than three 
years before the work of extracting the cream 
forscrappings must begin. The Rural New- 
Yorker is one of the longest saved intact.

You who care for new strawberries, try the 
Parry. It is of fine shape, color and quality, 
though other kinds are more vigorous and 
productive. Try the Hendersou. The fruit 
is large and of the first quality. Try the May 
King. It is early. The vines are strong and 
healthy. But the Jewell promises to bo the 
best of all the later introductions, though uot 
in quality. 
Golden Queen is a new candidate for public 
favor among raspberries. It is a yellow 
Cuthbert, better, it is said, iu some respects. 
We have plants from the originator, which 
will enable in to judge of it somewhat next 
season. Tlun we shall tell our readers. 
Shaffer's Colossal still maiutains a high 
place among the newer raspberries. Its color 
is all there is against it, and that is a mere 
prejudice. Superb has never pleased us. It 
bears for a long time large berries, with largo 
drupes that part or “crumble” too easily. It 
is not fit for market at all. The Marlboro 
holds its place well. The berries are of the 
largest—firm, of a fair color and fulr flavor. 
The variety seems quite hardy and stroag. 
The Rancocus is very early, very firm and of 
medium quality. The plants are tushy and 
hardy. It ripens more berries in the early 
season than the Ilausell. The Hansel] is a less 
vigorous grower, less fruitful, though it ri¬ 
pens few berries the first of any red rasp-
