transplant as above directed. 
CLASSIFICATION. 
Mr. Elliott says, “Authors have classed the straw- 
berry as SCARLETS, the original type being our wild 
strawberry ; PINES originating from Pine or Surinam 
strawberry; Woops and ALPINES from the common 
wood strawberry of Kurope; Haursots, or Aigh-wood, 
from Bohemia; Curt, from South America. 
“The SCARLETS are designated in their character by 
small flowers; long, thin, light-green, sharply serrate 
leaves; acid or sub-acid fruit, of bright scarlet color, 
with seeds deeply imbedded.” The Large Early Scar- 
let, Methven, Duke of Kent, and others, are of this 
class, and yet the flowers of the first two are rather 
large. 
“The PINEs are designated by large flowers ; broad, 
dark-green leaves; fruit of pineapple flavor, and gene- 
rally soft in texture; seeds slightly imbedded.” Ho- 
vey’s, Black Prince, Burr’s New Pine, British Queen, 
&e., are of this class, and yet Hovey’s and New Pine 
* have quite small flowers: the two others are large.
