Strawberry Plants. 
B M. WATSON, Old Colony Nurseries, Plymouth, Mess., offers 
• for sale the following strawberries. Plants carefully packed— 
carriage paid to Boston. 
Cresecnt Seedling Perpetual.— This is a new American Seedling 
raised by Mr. Lawrence of New Orleans, by crossing British Queen 
and Keen’s Seedling. It is the first perpetual strawberry of large 
size and first rate quality ever raised. For six months this remarka¬ 
ble fruit continues in bearing. “ I neither cut off the blossoms,” says 
Mr. L., “nor any part of them, to increase its bearing—it is one con. 
tinued crop from the first jump; and if you want to know how it 
bears after four months fruiting, a friend has just (May 9) counted 
from 33 to 42 berries on four successive plants, the largest measuring 
5£ inches, and the average being three inches in circumference.” 
No doubt this variety will greatly extend the strawberry season at 
the north, making it an immense acquisition to strawberry growers, 
and in hybridizing. The almost utter impossibility of getting plants 
alive from New Orleans, will make this kind scarce for some time. 
It has been ordered from all quarters, but very few plants have been 
received alive. Dr. Bayne, Lite famous strawberry grower at Alex¬ 
ander, D. C., ordered $25 worth, but succeeded in “saving but one 
plant, which,” he A remarks, “ $25 would not- buy.” I myself was still 
more unfortunate to the same tune. Mr. Pardee, of Palmyra, N. af¬ 
ter repeated efforts,succeeded in saving a few plants. His entire stock 
is in my hands, and plants will be ready in October, in pots, $2 each.

the premium of $100, offered by the Cincinnati Hort. Society for a
