Extraordinary Strawberries. - Dr. Bayne recently exhibited to the Horticultural
Society of Washington city, two jars of strawberries, measuring five inches in
circumference, and weighing each two hundred grains; thirty-two of them filling
a quart; and for flavor and beauty far surpassing any fruit ever exhibited
here. Dr. Bayne has lately given great attention to the cultivation of the
straberry [sic], and deserves much credit for having brought this excellent
fruit to its present state of perfection,
Dr. Bayne's home, gardens and nursery will soon lie under the parking lot of a high end discount shopping mall now under construction in Prince George's County
