SO as our American seedlmgs,which greatly enhances their value. 

 The British dueen, the largest of all, is so lender here that it 

 is almost impossible to raise it under ordinary cultivation. 



The Brighton Pine Strawberry. — This is the name 

 given to a new seedling, raised by Mr. Scott of Brighton, 

 the originator of Scott's Seedling. It promises to be a fine 

 variety, similar in most respects to the Boston Pine, from 

 which it was raised, but with darker colored fruit, the only 

 quality lacking in the former variety. It has the same shaped 

 berry, of the same size, bears enormously and in the same 

 way, each root throwing up 8 to 10 bunches of fruit. It is 

 a few days earlier than the Pine. 



The Brighton Pine will be a strong competitor with the 

 Jenny Lind for its early fruiting, Mr. Scott having gathered 

 the first berries for market on the 13th of June, this very 

 late season ; while its size, and abundant product, fully equal 

 if they do not surpass it. 



The fruit committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Society have examined Mr. Scott's beds, both of his Brighton 

 Pine and Scott's Seedling, and Mr. Fay's Jenny Lind, and 

 will probably give some account of them in their annual 

 report. Scott's seedling is producing a great crop of splen- 

 did fruit ; it is a fine strawberry. 



THE LONDON HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The following interesting notice of this old and valuable 

 association, the first of the kind ever organized, is copied 

 from the Gardeners' Chronicle, and will, we doubt not, be read 

 with unusual attention. To its active exertions in the pro- 

 motion of Horticultural knowledge, the introduction of plants, 

 and the dissemination of pomological information, we are 

 deeply indebted in common with the whole Horticultural 

 world. It has expended a large amount of money since its 

 foundation, and though some of it may have been uselessly 

 paid away, through the mismanagement of one of its former 

 Secretaries, it has nevertheless accomplished a vast deal of good.
