Mr. Carpenter has shown us some plants of this new Strawberry, which are stout enough to bear berries of almost any size. We know Mr. Carpenter bo well, that we do not believe he would have anything to do with it unless he knew it to be what it is represented. Plants will be sent to our office when in fruit, where it may be seen; and we shall then tell our readers just what it is in plain English.

The Austin Strawberry #1

This, up to our last moment of writing, (the 20th,) has not been sent to our office, from which the reader can draw his own inference. We saw the fruit, however, at the Farmers' Club, a few days since, and found it to be of large size, but somewhat soft and deficient in flavor. How it will compare with the Wilson for productiveness we can not say positively.

The Austin Strawberry #2

A few days after penning our statement respecting the Austin Strawberry last month, a large plate of it was placed on our "table/' and we continued to receive samples of it from time to time up to the 14th of July; a somewhat prolonged season, during which we had abundant opportunities to judge of its merits. It did not equal our expectations in point of size; but we are informed that it is not so large this season as it was last, which roust be owing to its treatment, since the present season has been a favorable one for large berries. Our engraving was taken from one of the largest berries we could find. In regard to its productiveness we can say little, having seen only a few plants of it, producing from twenty-five to thirty berries each. It is a large, vigorous plant, with a stout, upright fruit stalk, the leaves, however, being rather narrow. The following is our description: Fruit large, varying in form from roundish to conical, sometimes flat, occasionally necked, and uniformly with a large core. Color pale scarlet. Seed brown, slightly imbedded. Flesh white, somewhat soft and dry, acid, and deficient in high flavor. Calyx large, many parted, and persistent. Flowers staminate.

We have no doubt that it is a seedling of the Iowa.
