* KEENS'S SEEDLING (Keens). (Syn. Keens's Ne-w Pine, Keens's 

 Black Pine, Murphy's Child.') A very famous English straw- 

 berry. Large, round, sometimes cockscombed, purplish crim- 

 son. Said to be tender; excellent for forcing. In this 

 country it is reported as of the highest flavor, a good bearer, 

 and very early. I find it a poor grower, or comparatively poor, 

 in a light soil. Imported into this country in 1826. Fig. in 

 Pom. Mag. II. 91, Rev. Hort. 1864, 47> J an Mus. II.
