tlttt Uitridies of SinWberras.The following varieties of Strawberries have been carefully selec-

ted from the entire mass that has been brought to notice in this Countryand in Europe ; and all the others have been rejected, except a few thatare under probation. We have still retained a few secondary varieties,which, lieing well known and popular, are usually demanded by thosewho are not yet familiar with the superior kinds. As a general result,all the Hermaphrodite varieties that have been introduced from Eng-land. France, and Belgium have proved worthless for general culture oa

account of their unproductiveness : but the Victoria. Other Pasha, Vi-comtesse Hcricaxit, Formosa Superba, Compte de Flandres. Triomphe deGaud, and some others are cultivated as "Fancy Vaiie&es."They pos-sess in Europe but one Pistillate Variety, except such as they have ob-tained from America. Every recommendation of thes>: foreign Her-maphrodites as productive and valuable for market is a gross imposition.Dr. John II. Bayne, of Alexandria, a highly Intelligent cultivator, says," All the English varieties have proved with me worthless trash." ' C. M.Hovey, says, " It is impossible to cultivate the European Varieties withsuccess." In fact, it may be taken as a general guide, that no Herma-phrodite (Staminate) Variety whatever can yield more than \ to \ thecrop that a Pistillate will produce, and even Wilson's Albany, the Tri-umph, and Hooker are not exceptions. All arguments to the contraryare based in ignorance, as the Staminates are physically incapacitated.Therefore to call a plant "perfeetV as to its frnit-crop, based on the pre-cise point that renders it imperfect in that respect, is the grossest of falla-cies. A perfect flower is one that never faih to mature its fruit. The fact isincontrovertible that Pistillate varieties can alone be relied on forabundant'and regular crops. It is from such blind guidance, as has beenproffered by many, that some Nursery Catalogues still continue to rec-ommend to their customers, miserable unproductive Hermaphrodites,and other worthless kinds.Of the following Assortment, 63 of the most splendid varieties,designated by an asterisk (*), were originated by us, and selected fromthousands of seedlings during the past 15 years, and many are nowoffered for sale for the first time and the most of them are not in thepossession of any other Nursery. These Americetn varieties possess theadvantage of great hardihood, whereas many of the foreign varietiesare burned by our sun, and much affected by our winters. Amateursshould visit and inspect the different Nurseries, and decide understan-ding^. P. denotes Pistillate, and H. Hermaphrodite varieties usuallytermed Staminate.

Remark.All the following Strawberries, up to No. 108, and 121 to143 inclusive, are varieties of the Scarlet. Vine and Chilian species, whichare indigenous to America ; and every large-fruited variety that hasever been produced in Europe has been grown from seeds of the Ameri-can species, the native European species' being small and contemptiblein comparison, and combining only the Hautbois. Wood, and Alpinevarieties.0&*New Varieties.We make it a point to obtain all New Varietiesof merit and can therefore supply them whether in our Catalogue or not.

Terms.No less than a dozen are sold of any one variety,and no orders are desired for a less amount than $10. Persons orderingmust specify the Edition- of the Catalogue. Terms Cash.Prices.We wish it expressly understood that we will at all times

supply the different Varieties of Strawberries as low and usually lowerthan they are obtainable elsewhere. and the purchaser can refer to any oth-er Catalogue, if there be any priced lower than our own.We say nothingin regard to the superior accuracy of our Collection over all others.

Price, per 1,000 $4McAcoj/s Extra Red we reject : it is the sourest and most

worthless of all Strawberries, and is readily distinguish-ed by its red runners, and deep red fruit. It is astonish-ing that. Mr. Longwortii should have so perverted hisjudgment as to recommend it. In "Hooper's WesternFruit Book." published at Cincinnati, Mr. II. has con-fused the two varieties and described them under onehead, and we have repeatedly seen the former exhibitedunder this name, whereas there are no two varieties moredissimilar. It would appear that Longwortii committedthe same blunder, so inexcusable, as they both originatedin, and were sent from his own garden with their respect-ive names. Mr Downing doubtless from adopting theirblunder falls into the same error.49. JleAvoy-s Superior. P, very large, rounded, glossy
