PLANTS BUNCHED. OLD PLANT. YOUNG PLANT. WILrSON'S ALBANY.—We have for years grown a small bed of this old standard sort, each year making a new planting from selected pedigree stock, and thus keeping up the old-time vigor of this popular variety. It still continues very productive of medium-sized berries, dark glossy red in color, quite acid till fully ripe, when it has a rich, sprightly flavor not found in many varieties ; one of the best for transportation to distant markets. To those who wish to renew their stock of the old Wilson ^rue, we offer some guaranteed stock. 25 cents per dozen; 75 cents per 100; $$ per 1,000. CRESCENT SEEDLING (/').—A light, slender plant of healthy, rapid growth; it makes runners almost too freely, and, unless care is taken, the plants crowd so thickly together as to produce small, inferior fruit; well grown ; the berries are of medium size, bright scarlet color, and fair quality; has been aptly called "the lazy man's berry," as it is always sure to produce fruit even when all cultivation is neglected. 25 cents per dozen; 75 cents per 100; $2 per ^1,000.

This should be in every market or family collection, as it is not inclined to run small after the first picking, as does the Crescent and some other extra early varieties. 25 cents per dozen; 75 cents per 100; ^4 per 1,000. KENTUCKY.—A tall, rank grower, somewhat inclined to rust; is, however, a valuable late variety for light soils, moder- ately productive of large conical berries; pale
