Fine Strawberries, — We were, on Tuesday last, 

 prescnieil by Mr Haggersto.n, the intelligent and 

 successful proprietor of the Charlestown Vineyard, 

 with a box of his Keen's Seedling Strawberries, 

 of extraordinary size and beauty. One of theni 

 measured five and a half inches in circumference, 

 and most of them four and four and a lialf They 

 were raised in the open air. This new variety of 

 the Strawberry was originally imported by him 

 from England, and is ])articularly descrilied in the 

 current volume of the New England Farmer, l)age 

 330. We believe there are no ))lants of it for 

 sale yet in this vicinity, but presume Mr Hagger- 

 STON will have them the ensuing fall. It will cer- 

 tainly prove an acquisition to the lovers of good 

 fruit. 



On watering Strawberries. — We commend to the 

 notice of otir readers,, the following remarks on 

 the importance of keeping strawberry vines copi- 

 ously supplied with water at this season, wliich 

 formed the clo.sing paragra[)l) of Gen. Dearborn's 

 valuable article on the culture of the Strawberry, 

 published in the New England Farmer, vol. 8, 

 page 22 — ' To cidtivate Strawberries with success, 

 the ground must be devoid of trees, bountifully 

 manured, kept entirely free from weeds, the spaces 

 between the rows often dug over, and raked level, 

 and by all means copiously supplied with water, 

 " when the windows of heaven are stopped, and 

 the rain restrained."'
