Even if we had been able much sooner to ascertain the correct name of this strawberry, we have had no plants for sale, as we were anxious to plant it very lai'gely ourselves. We have not learned how to produce millions of plants from a single one in two years ; and if we had, we do not deem it best to do sc. We have so increased our stock of this va- riety, that the constitution of the plants has not been injured, and we guarantee all we send out to grow and do well, if properly cared for. As we offer no plants for sale, we did not feel it incumbent on us to designate it on our own grounds in any other way than by its number. We did not part with a single plant till the summer of 1800, though we had very numerous and urgent applications to do so, at fabulous prices. Fillmore. (P.) The merits of this excellent variety are beginning to be ap- preciated. We regard it as next in value to Jucunda—our No. 700. The plant is vigorous and hardy, not requiring the frequent renewings. which many other varieties do, and is enormously productive. The fruit, is of beautiful shape, uniformly very large, of dark color, solid, and very excellent flavor. Carries admirably, and is very popular in mar- ket, always attracting attention, and giving entire satisfaction to the purchaser. Mr. Beeler says: 'It is as good as Wilson in size, color aud productiveness, and superior in flavor aud regularity
