For pioc uctiveress. or beet pecunsiiy. the sTsw-
berry for me is tie Iowa 70. IL ia tbs least valcst,s

than any thing that Dave grown Il s. my business

Of Hoyey seedlings "a for the common market eorts.
WM. r. Prince exhibited II varieties 10 Of them
OF his own tesd!lug, TIE Ctber variety Canada
strawberry called the Ladys Pine. Sir. =. SAID:
s,aninate plant produces great mary uoprodUcyb
blossoma. Tie only exception is 10 Wilson's ed
ines; al other forts less productive than Rlshl
latfs.
DR.. wArD-The most productive s'rsvberis. tina.
grow ave stsn.nstes or hermoptrodi,es, and thiok
tina, Is the opinion q others.
T. ". FHLD-The Virginia scarlet, or a. il is
called tie Scotch runner, IS one Of the most product
i've Of varieties and yet this Is stsuioate, her,
oopbrOc lie plant and tts is entirely contrary TO Gr
Prince Il cory Ia my experience everywhere lsrgs
numbers IF blossoms give large numbers Of small
Ius; ano CD the contrary those Ct few bl ssoTs ike

Mr. PRlscE-My father published TIE Whole tnsttsr
abb ut the sexss Of strawberries Is yesIs ago. Tae
European be ut Lay pOdcces stsmnste and pistiate
flowers. Ihave awbe1y beds that were white with
blossoms that have not single berry-all barren.
The etra berries that cor from England with the
highest sounding names, are worthless here because
they have no fenale plsots.
r. G. PARDEE-Al this matter il the old bstte OF
horticuituIis s-and il is not wonderful tnat Of
them oi,iniopated.
DR.. WATERBURY-I cal sttertioe that Dr.. Ward
stated that his htte boy could tel in moment the
different kinds of blossoms, and 1lioh would prove
prolific Of fruit and which barren. That is Just the
sort of information that contend for giving chdsen

DR.. WAED III answer 10 question Of I. W. Field,
paned the following four varieties in their order ca
likely to prove most profitable to the make garden
er: W'kon's Seeding; Iowa strawberry; Early Scar
let, Virginia Scarlet Scotch Runner; ard Long
worths Prolific. These what called herm-
apbrodte, stamnates and they are all great pro-
ouce,s and more than cry pstiiaes or any others
that / ever grew.
W.. PnISct-Witb me the Iowa does not bear one
bait fair crop. Here is Que of ny seedlings that 10
en- exception to all rules. Every blossom produces
berry and all rpen at oncs. call it the Eclipse. The
LsGes Pine originated 10 Canada, Is a very Selic ste
ard peculiar Favored berry.
Il. W. FIELD said thst upon two beds Of straw
berries growing tide by side on bis plain II Brooklyn,
be : 'cked many quarts of Hoveys sesd ings es
three hired women picked Of the common early
Scarlet, AID while the latter sold at 70 cents quart,
bulls of, the HOveys sold Of 80 cents, bulls On, and
thst was about the ususl difference in TIM; market be-
tween COMMON and superior fruit.
ANDREw FsLLER of Brooklyn exhibited two very
promising seedlings, selected from great lumber
that he hes grown. We think OBS Of them promises
well as market berry.
4 Correction MI Fuller Gays We made mistake
in report last week about planting seeds OF goose
berres 1t should have been late IN the tsl instead
OF late in the Spring.
Some psrt of the discussion to-day was very ami
m6ted ana the ks Of DR.. Ward 10 particular,
highly instructive. OF course our report ID mere
skeleton Of the whole proceed ipgs. Those who can
attend tire meetings alone eIjoy the full bereft.
Club mees sgan oxt Marday, AID will THEN intenit
week. Sc the Fourth Of July comes Sunday, and
it's boisterOus Observance on MenGey.
