The Austin Strdrbery was exhibited by Mr.. CAR

commended IL on account Of lie being later than any
Other sort now cultivated, and for ITS general good
qualities.
"
good deal Of disappointment about this berry AS well
as the Downer have never seen these Austin berries
thai were IA productive az the Wilson. The ony adj
vantage that see that they possess over other
sorts is that they later that the strawberry sea-
con NAV be heightened. II is not a good berry.
SoLoS RoBISsoE-I am sorry to hear this variety
commended for any good quality, besides It's ateness
and caution people about that. With me il is not

nor % good 1t is too soft for MAJ ket berry, for al
though these are in apparent good order, believe

DR. TRINBLE-Tbe fact that this berry IS now ex-
hbited here the 9Th of July is proof that 1t Is late
berry for all other sorts are out OF market
Mr. CARPENIER said that he did not cay that this
WAS perfect berry; but II Is large, and Of quite
fair flavor, it sells 81 high priee3o cents quart.
hope yet TO better late berry, but until DO,
shall contend for the Austin not only for family use,
but for valuable market berry.
SoLos RoBISsoN-As for quality, would not give
a ujnt of Hookers Seedlings for peck OF Austiu's
Seedlings. Still, for tho sake Of variety, would
grow the hitter for family If they are really late
variety.
MIR. CaRPENrER said he agreed that the Hooker was
higher favored fruit but it is not productive and
liable 20 Winter kill. ..
Mr. HrrE--The Hooker should be planted closer To-
etber than most other strawberressay not over six
inches apart and then il will not be likely to Winter
kill and the bed will be productive, aud 1t certainly IL
very highly favored fruit and much sweeer than the
Wilson or the Austin.
Long Island Rye-A specimen of rye, from the
Barrens of Long Island was exhibited OF very large
growth and heavy heads, which DIR. Peck said grew
upon that kind Of land that has been said VIII not pro-
dnce any good crop-that II Is really barren.
Mr.. CARPENTER thought that this production was
not extraordinary since il upon fresh cleared and
burned land with $50 pounds Of guano TO the acre.

land
