SELECTION OF VARIETIES. 51 
We introduce it in this connection, because we 
think it will prove remarkably productive. Such has 
been the case in our trials of it; it has uniformly sur- 
passed all others in bearing. We have counted over 
seventy ripe berries of good size, the largest measuring 
four and three-fourths inches in circumference, on a 
single plant less than one year old. We are. aware 
that the Alpines, and some other kinds, will produce 
many more berries in a single hill, but they are very 
small fruit, and we presume they will not produce 
near the quantity on a single plant of that age. Itis 
a hybrid of Llovey’s Seedling and the Duke of Kent. 
The plant is very vigorous: pistillate; fruit large, 
roundish, short neck, and beautiful, of good fair 
flavor, hard flesh, a long bearer, and good for market; 
does well partially shaded. 
BURR’S NEW PINE. 
This variety originated in Colum- 
bus, Ohio, in 1846, on a clay soil, 
and is remarkable for its agreeable, 
delicious, aromatic flavor, surpassing 
all other varieties; and also for its 
early bearing and uniform pro- 
ductiveness. It is usually of large 
medium size, although we have seen 
on exhibition large dishes of fruit 2ume's sew rine.
