®M4W®lEMl®i,

"We present this new Descriptive Catalogue to the World, which is probably the last one
.vhich will ever be prepared by the present author (Wm. R. Fringe), as our time'is now mainly
devoted to an object of f^ar more prominent importance to humanity — The Analyses of our
American Medical Flora ! We claim for this Catalogue that the different varieties are described
with critical accuracy and impartiality, and that it presents to the strawberry-grower a perfectly
reliable guide. We also announce that in this immense Collection, there is not one mixed
bed, nor one dubious plant, the whole having long continued under our personal supervision,
and that we expressly guarantee the accuracy of every variety transmitted from our Gardens.

We are influenced m making these comments, by several false statements made by Mr.
J. Knox, expressly to delude the public. He says : " We (J. Knox) can supply all or nearly
hU of the kinds found in the different Nursery Catalogues, but many of them we do not think
worth while to enumerate." This assertion is vtterly tmfrne. lie has but four varieties that
we deem worthy of general culture, and none of above 130 Special Varieties of the highest
merit described in this Catalogue ; but he fills up two pages by a list of names of 70 varieties,
comprising the trash which have been exploded by all intelligent cultivators for many years
past. This fact he inadvertently admits, when he says in another place : " We have on our
grounds over 100 varieties, many of which are worthless, or only valuable in keeping up a
large collection." He warns the public against "buyinjj^ the same variety under different
names," when he, above all others, has been guilty of committing such errors — witness his
selling River's Eliza for the British Queen for many years and even now, as well as publishing
Lennig's White under the two additional names of "Albion White" and "White Pineapple,"
tlie Crimson Cone and Scotch Runner as distinct varieties; and even the Jucunda, an English
variety, he concealed the true name of, until our Description of it rendered further false naming
of it an impossibility. We could show up a further mass of confusion, inexcusable ignorance,
and errors, by which the public have been duped and misled for years, yet we purposely refrain,
but we feel impelled to say thus much, as this man constantly endeavors to conceal his own
defieiencies by depreciating the labors of others. Verbum Sap.

Of the 180 varieties embraced in our present Collection, all the older varieties have been
lully described in elaborate Articles on the Fragaria Family, communicated by Wm. R. Phince,
and published in the Reports of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, and in the
Transactions ^f the American Institute. It is, therefore, deemed only necessary here to
describe fully the New and Recent Varieties. It will be realized at once that these comprise
many of the most estimable varieties which are now offered for the first time, and are not at
present obtainable from any other source. The public taste is now becoming rapidly awakened
to trie appreciation of the siveet, high-f.avored and perfumed varieties of the Strawberry, and
such miserably sour and flavorless trash as the Downer, Cutter, Ellsworth, Wilson, Agriculturist,
Monitor, Ida, &c., will not be tolerated by amateurs who are familiar with good fruit, although
liioy may be palmed upon the ignorant. We now offer" the choicest varieties that the co-laborers
of the world have produced, and among these there are 40 very estimable varieties originated
by ourselves, which are distinguished by an asterisk (*)and which we have selected from many
thousands of hybridized Seedlings. We desire "to also announce, that we have above 2,000
distinct Seedlings, Avhich are to be fruited for the first time the ensuing year, whose highly
promising appearance has been most favorably commented on by Prof Huntsman, our neighbor,
so well known for his Fragarian discriminations. Several now announced have white flesh, and
they are all greatly superior to the mnss of New Seedlings which are annually spawned upon the
public, whose destiny is to be cast aside after being once tested. It has become highly necessary
that a proper discrimination should be made, by a judicious selection of varieties best suited
to field culture for market. In one district of New Jersey, deemed highly favorable for the
Strawberry culture, the crop of 1865 is said to have been $30,000, which in 1866 dwindled to
^3,000. What was the cause of this great failure? Nothing can account for it except the
mjudicious selection of the plants. It is a scientific fact, based on n6rmal physical structure,
that the Pistillate, or Female vaHeties of any species of the Strawberry, will produce a crop of
ruit fifty per c^nt. greater than the Hermaphrodites can possibly produce. It is a,lso a normal

fact, that the Pistillate varieties are far more certain and reliable, a result which is also based
on their sexual structure. By investigation it will be found that nearly all the varieties which
so signally failed in New Jersey were Hermaphro<lites!

For more than twelve years I have called attention to this- state of facts, but seemingly
in vain, as the comments of superficial minds have continually maintained that the Herma-
phrodite varieties are the most reliable.

Another point is necessary to be considered. Pistillate Varieties may be allowed to cover
the entire ground, but Hermaphrodites must be grown in rows or hills. The former require
one-tenth of the latter to fertilize them, which can be grown in distinct beds ; and as they
also are fruit-bearing, no space is lost, as has been ignorantly alleged. If the beds of the
two sexes are within 60 feet of each other, the impregnation will be perfected ; but another
important point, about which I have cautioned the growers long since, is to select Staminates
and Pistillatos that blossom at the same period, in order to insure effectual fertilization. It is
quite probable that this is the last time that I shall reiterate this advice. The North American
Varieties possess the advantage of great hardihood and productiveness, but I call attention to
another discriminative fact, that the varieties produced from the parentage of the F. loivoisu
are far more robust and produce much larger berries than those grown from the F. Virgiuiana,
Illinoensis and Hudsou.ica. The Pine family, {F. grandJJlora) which possesses such estimable
pr(iperties is now become familiarized, and we already have many perfectly hardy varifttiea
suitable for field culture. They must be invariably grown in rows in the field, and iu the
garden they will form immense stools, each being an aggregation of many plants ; and it is
these large aggregated stools which have been dignified so deceptively as " single plants
producing each 250 to 300 berries." It is full time thaU these specious misrepresentations,
advanced only to delude, should cease. ♦

Another point that attracts special notice is the fact, that so few of the Strawberry
growers of the interior visit and inspect the Collections here, and they consequently seem
entirely ignorant of the most estimable varieties — their knowledge being limited to the few
that are cultivated in their vicinities. This fact is most strikingly evident where we see the
Wilson extolled for its great crops, when it never fails to blight full half its blossoms, a fiict
which some Western growers have recently attributed to a drought, when it is a natural defect
which can only be obviated by planting such other varieties as never blight at all, and
especially the Pistillates. There exists also with them a general ignorance as tothe family ol
the Pines, which I shall refer to under that head. Our extensive Collection offers the great
advantage of viewing the best varieties of all the Fragaria family of every clime, a knowledge
which can no where else be attained in our country.

Soil, moist or dry, firm or loose, has a great influence on the crop, and locality alone has
very little, although superficial writers have greatly magnified its effects; but it is the judicious
selection of the appropriate varieties, which exercises the decisive and controlling mfluence
over the resulting crops.

The varieties selected and described in this Catalogue are all perfectly hardy — all tender
ones having been excluded.

ENGLISH, FSEJTCH'AND BELGIAN VARIETIES.

These are all of the Fine family {Pragaria Grandifiord) up to Xo. 141, and the most of
them are of Belgian origin, and of a much more hardy character than the English varieties,
which have been heretofore introduced and discarded. They produce very large and beautiful
berries, with white, and some with rosy flesh, and are remarkable for their sweetness, exquisite
flavor and perfume. The Triomphe de Gaud has become most generally known, but there are
numerous varieties greatly superior to it in sweetness and flavor. The Pine family require a
strong, rich soil, and to be cultivated in rows or stools, and kept free from runners. They are
well worthy the special attention of amateurs. We have made a selection of the hardiest
varieties, and have noted such as are best adapted to field culture, and their fruit will always
command an extra price at the Refectory saloons and in the market. But very few of these
admirable varieties can be found in any other American Collection. They are all Hermaphro-
dites.

The peculiar character of this family is the great vigor of the plants, large foliage, and
strong petioles and peduncles, all of which are downy or hairy, and flowers often the
size of a dollar; the later ripening of the fruit, after the Pines; the monstrous and
variaVjle size of the berries, white flesh, highly perfumed, very juicy, sweet and
delicious; and, in some varieties, a sprightly, acidulate flavor commingled with the
sweetness. A moist, firm soil is most appropriate. They make but few runners, and
are therefore scarce. All these are Hermaphrodite.
