a space of two and one half feet between the outside rows of adjoining beds left for a pathway.
They may also be planted in single rows three feet apart and one foot apart in the rows.

very rich flavor.

STRAVVBERRIES.—Continued.
MEDIUM.
Bubach. P. A well known popular variety, with large berries of a rich, bright red color; very prolific.
Big Ben. A new seedling variety of merit which in some sections of this state has become the favorite
fancy market sort. The plants are of vigorous growth and very productive with large fruit of a rich
crimson color. Per 100, $4.00; $35.00 per 1000.
Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright red in color, firm flesh, red to the centre
and of rich spicy flavor. A great cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its fruit well up from the ground
and generally succeeds everywhere.
Golden Gate. A strong growing variety bearing rich crimson fruit without green tips and with quality
similar to the W/arshal/. , It blooms early and late making it a good variety to pollenize the pistillate sorts.
Mark Hanna. P. An exceedingly prolific variety ripening in midseason. The berries are of enormous
size, attractive in color and of splendid quality
Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of handsome, glossy, dark crimson color,
and of delicious flavor. It is one of the best midseason berries, either for private use or market. It is
a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation. As it does not thrive in all soils, it should
not be planted extensively until its adaptability is ascertained.
Minute Man. P. Very productive, and free growing sort with large solid berries. A fine market variety.
New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens. ‘The berries are large, of long conical
form; dark red color, firm texture and of remarkably sweet flavor. In the market they sell at sight.
Pride of Cumberland. The plant is a vigorous grower and free from rust, and ripening about one week
earlier than Gandy ; It is nearly as large, equally firm, as good a color, thriving in either high or low land,
but owing to the immense crops it sets, the ground should be well fertilized to ensure best results.
LATE TO VERY LATE.
Belmont. This old favorite is still considered by many to be the finest late berry. The fruit is of hand-
some appearance and keeps well.
Chesapeake. The plants of the Chesapeake are large and vigorous with rich dark green foliage. The
fruit is of large size, deep red in color and of a rich aromatic flavor.
Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing large conical, deep crimson fruit, sweet
and of quality equal to the well known Bubach. Not only an extra large berry, but also very productive,
of deep rich color and solid. It is smooth and quite juicy. The plants are strong, not quite so rank in
growth as the Marshall, and free from rust One of the best introductions of 1ecent years.
Gandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry growers. It is more largely grown than
any other late variety. It is at home on black swamp land if well drained, upon medium stiff or red clay
land. On sandy soils it is unproductive. All late varieties are compared by Gandy, which is the highest
praise that could be given it. Large size, fine appearance, and remarkable keeping and carrying qualities.
New Home. As late and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color that does not lose its lustre and turn
dark for a long time after being picked. It is a vigorous grower, and, unlike Gandy, will produce a large
crop on either high or low land. The fruit isso firm and keeps so well, it does not need to be picked
oftener than three times a week. Its great productiveness, uniform large size, and unsurpassed carrying
and keeping qualities make it-one of the most desirable on the list. :
William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the list. The berries are as large, with
some specimens larger than the Bubach. It is about as productive as the Bubach, and of nearly the same
shape. Its color is a bright, glossy, deep red; its season as late as Gandy.
Stevens’ Late Champlon. A new variety of the Gandy type yielding large crops of beautiful berries
very late in the season. In New Jersey it is conside ed one of the finest sorts for late crop.
ALPINE VARIETY.
Large Red Alpine. No one who has eaten the delicious little strawberries of the Alps will ever forget
their delicious aromatic flavor. We are now able to offer this large fruited variety of the Alpine straw-
berry. Per doz., $1.00.
ENGLISH VARIETIES. Per dozen, $125. Ready August tst.
British Queen. A popular English variety producing large, conical, pale red berries of exquisite flavor.
President. A variety much in demand for forcing in England. The fruit is crimson in color and of
superior flavor.
Standard. An improved type of the well known Black Prince. Very early, small dark red berries of fine
flavor, forces well.

PANSIES
Culture of Pansies.—Pansies thrive best in a cool, moist, but well drained soil,
enriched with well rotted barnyard manure, or fine ground bone. Seeds sown in spring
in a partially shaded situation will produce fine plants for autumn flowering. ‘The finest
blooms are to be obtained, however, by sowing in July or August, giving the plants
protection during winter, when the y will bloom profuse ly in the spring and summer.
