Messrs. T. & S. B. McMillan, of East Fairfield, Ohio, send us the following interesting items :

"In Eastern Ohio, our Strawberry season commences about the first of June with Jenny Lind, Burr's New Pine, Early Scarlet, etc, and doses about the fourth of July, with Trollope's Victoria, Moyamensing Pine, Triomphe de Gand, etc.

"Scott's Seedling appears to be the most popular flavored berry we have marketed. Triomphe de Gand took the premium offered by the Salem Horticultural Society on the best quart of strawberries, the past season. We hope to be able to test the Downer sufficiently, the present season, to compare it with other varieties. It promises well with us.

"The Peach buds were partly winter-killed, though we have not seen the thermometer below zero. Hale's early peach is attracting much attention in Ohio. It is said to ripen some weeks ahead of any other good variety, and to be, in all respects, a first class peach. May it prove a valuable acquisition".
