A correspondent, under date of August 6th, from Chanute, Kan., writes, "I have been in Kansas five years, three years where I now am, and have in that time raised five good crops of strawberries and got about as much again, per quart, as I could get in the Ohio valley. I have on my grounds all of the leading varieties, old and new, including James Vick's Jersey Queen, Manchester, etc. Peaches seldom fail here-Mountain Rose, Troth's and Cole's Early, are now ripe. Last season they ripened the 29th of July. I have been keeping a record of their ripening, for the last two years, and hope at some future time to give a few hints on Peaches in Kansas. My Lady Grape is now ripe, as hardy as the Concord, as productive, and much better."

[Our correspondent is a very enthusiastic cultivator of fruits, and has raised a variety of strawberry so well adapted to his part of that State, that we shall not be surprised to hear of its making a splendid record one of these days. - Ed. G. M.]
