Great Snow or SrRAwGERRIRs.--The eyhibl-
ton of Strawberries 81 the Office OF The American
igricuAnrist, by competitors for the Trzes offered
by Mr.. Judd. as well as by several contributors 70
make 10 show, is grand success. In point OF
ouantiiy il ia all that could be desired and as an ex-
hbt of varieties, it is highly crcditabe to the clty
and is surroundings. IL 10 far better than the sho"
Of this fruit at the Brooklyn Horticultural Exhioi
ton and is really he best show Of strawberries h
we have ever seeD, particularly ia new Seedlingr.
We hone that the Committee will not make the bad
blnnd-r that was made in Brooklyn, by awarding "a
Prize to one OF TIE old, we!l-known SORTS. fHNes
should be awarded 70 all producers Of really excel
l,nt now sorts, for they are worthy OF encourage
men, since no, one seeding in thousand Is worth
uropnca,ing. This makes the labor of obtaining one
that is real improvement upon all others, so great
that il encourages most people from making the at
tempt The public IL not aware how great the I'M
provements upon the strawberries have been ID the
past lew years. Nearly all Of tie excellent large
kinds, which we are beginning TO see IN markell
aud IN such shows AZ this ore the fruits OF he labor
OF hose now living; and as Improvements are pro-
gressye, IL is impossible to imagine what the ulti-
mate reeut will be in strawberries. Ia this exhlbl-
ton nearly all Of the best new varieties
may be seen, and compared side by side, while many
sorts may be seen that have never been exhibited
tl this year. One grown by a. ). Fuller OF Brook
lyn is remarkable for beauty and excellence, and OF
very fair size though not as large as come others.
Mr. Fuller pas three new seelliugs, as yet only
known by members, that excel any three, "e thlok,
ever before produced by one MAG. The Interest thar
the public fee, in the improvement Of thls variety oi
fruit was exhibited yesterday most fully Ia the
crowded state Of the ROOM before the exhib'or5
could get the berries arranged, aud long before the
Committee could make an examination. And this
crowd was largely composed OF ladies' and we pre-
sumo it will continue 10 pour through the rooa
in stream all this day. We glad to see
such interest manifested. There is much for Us all
10 learn IN these horticultural exhibitions, and they
are great meters to Improvement. All who assist IN
them are entitled to " honorable MENTION
