The " Strawberry Wonder " as called by the introducer, comes to us from near Albany, N. Y. (the home of the AVilson) and is such an excellent berry, that they are planting it almost exclusively in that county. We secured some plants last Spring as soon as it was offered for sale, and we are very much pleased with its behaviour. The introducer says it is early, large, of bright color, remarkably firm and wonderfully productive. It will be one of the popular berries this season, and as we have a fine lot of these plants, have made the price low. "While the Boynton will have to be classed as a pistilate variety, still the largest yield ever taken from half an acre of Strawberries of any variety in Albany County, was from half an acre of Boynton last season, without another kind within an eighth of a mile.*'—IxTRODrcER. V THE WESTBROOK. (P) We bought our stock last spring of the intro- ducer, and had them shipped direct from the Westbrook Farm. We have about 200,000 plants to offer this season, of this variety. The introducer says: " Originated by J. S. Westbrook & Co., Duplin County, C, in 1882. It proved so early, so prolific, fine color, and good shipper, and the big prices they were obtaining for it, they readily saw that they had a big thing, so they would not let it out but kept it, and for six years they have realized fancy prices for their new seedling, averaging double in price of all other berries. The Westbrook is supposed to be a seedling of the Crescent, crossed by the Xeunan. The shape, color and size is much like the Wilson. The flower is imperfect, and b}^ planting a strong staminate of the early sorts, it gives the best results. The origi- nators have 75 acres of this one berry. I got control of the berry last season, by purchasing Four Hundred Thousand plants of the INIess. Wes
