Tlie Coraniiltec consider Biiist Prize and the Brilifih Queen as llie best varieties of Strawberries for market pur- 

 p^g^ — and ilcAvoi/n Superior as tlic most productive and fltiest flavored variety. 



Juiie list — The Society met nt WAnoRor's. J. Munooni, Jr., exhibited eight vaiieties of Moss 

 Roses — Ci'litie, Cri^tata, Mottled, Laiicii, Angeliqur, Adduide, and common jink — exceedingly 

 fragrant and beautiful. Sir. R. McK.mgut exhibited a stock of McAvoy's Superior Strawberry, 

 with eleven perfect berries. At the meeting two weeks since, Mr. M. presented three ttocks, 

 witli twenty-two, twenty, and nineteen berries. The Committee were unanimous in recommend- 

 ing this variety for garden cultivation, from its fine size and delicious taste. It is scarcely firm 

 enough for a market fruit. Burr's New Pine is of good size, a very productive and aromatic 

 fruit, and will rank with Buist's Prize (our No. 1) as a market fruit, having the advantage of 

 ripenins some days earlier. The British Qneen, e.xliibited by Mr. McKnigut, is a different variety 

 from Brewer's Victoria, of extra large size, and fine flavor. One berry measured 5^ by 4J inches. 

 Mr. McKnight exhibited three varieties of Raspberries — very large and superior White Antwerp, 

 Fastolf, and Ecd Antwerp. Mr. Jas. M<;LAUGnLix, of Ohio township, presented, tluough Mr. 

 IIeiuleburg, a ba.-ke of very large Hautboys, which are commended for their delicious perfume. 



The ready sale, at higli prices, of good fruit in our market, should induce every person to send 

 specimens of new varieties, especially seedlings, to the Horticultural Society, so that reports can 

 be made as to the varieties deemed most worthy of cultivation in Allegheny county.

 bugs 80 frequently imposed upon amateurs by unscrupulous sharpers. Mrs. Kilbovrxe sent in a 

 magnificent specimen of the Yucca, a beautiful though much neglected flowering plant, the flow- 

 ers in bloom on two spikes numbering nearly three hundred. Miss Callie Murray contributed
