NG KH OP'S SelecP Varieties of Stralpherries,
Tue following varieties of Strawberries have beenecarefully selected from the entire mass that has been brought to notice in this country and f
in Europe ; and all the others have been rejected, except a few that are under probation. Wehavestillretained a few secondary varieties, which, being well known and popular, are usually demanded by those who are not yet familiar with the superior kinds.
Of the following assortment, forty-five of the most splendid varieties, designated by an asterisk (*), were originated by us, and selected from thousands of seedlings during the past seventeen years, and several varieties are now Offered for sale for the first time, and the most of them are not
in the possession of any other Nursery. These American varieties possess the
advantage of great hardihood and productiveness.
Terms.—No less than a dozen are sold of any variety, unless they are priced per pair or otherwise. Persons sending orders must specify the edition of the Catalogue. a 2
Terms, Cash with the order; or, if more convenient, one half can be sent, and we will collect the balance through the Express.

These are large and beautiful varieties, and nearly all are of high flavor. They must be grown in distinct stools, and require a strong, rich soil and good culture. The berries ripen gradually, and the plants continue long in bearing. An improvement, as| regards hardihood, has been attained in several of the new estimable varieties, which is highly gratify- ing to amateurs, as the quality of the fruit is un- exceptionable. The most hardy and productive are Nos. 183, 135, 186, 148, 146, 147, 151, 152, 154, 155, 156, 159, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 174.
