Downton, Baih Scarlet, 

 Pine Apple, Royal Scarlet, Mulberry, Wihnot's Superb, 

 and Keens' Seedling. For a particular notice of the last 

 ni,ignificcnt variety, we beg leave to refer to the Report 

 of the Committee on Fruits, of the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society, June 19, 1830. 



' The specimens of " Keens' Seedling," offered by 

 Mr Haggcrston, of the Charlestown Vineyard, exceeded 

 anything of the kind we had ever seen. This new varie- 

 ty, introduced into this country by that enterprising and 

 skilful horticulturist, fully sustained the high character 

 giien of it, in the English publications, and all that is 

 said of it in the Pomological Magazine, where it is de- 

 scribed as being ' tifry large, very good, and very prolific' 

 Taking all the properties of this justly celebrated straw- 

 berry into consideration, it may be said to have no rival. 

 Some of the largest of those exhibited by Mr Haggcrston, 

 measured over 5J inches in circumference, and the aver- 

 age circumference of the sample, being about one quart, 

 it is believed was over 4 inches. A few of them were ol* 

 cocks-comb shape, but mostly round or ovate. The 

 produce upon the stalksof a single plant, set last autumn, 

 was exhibited at the Hall by Mr Haggerston, which, on 

 counting, was found to consist of the astonishing numbe 

 of 1.57 ripe and green berries. The size and strength of 

 the fruit stalks, its broad, deep green leaves, and the gen- 

 I eral healthiness and vigor of the plant, are well adapted 

 to the support and protection of the enormous size and 

 quantity of fruit which it yields. The committee on 

 fruits arc therefore unanimously of opinion tli:it Mr Hag- 

 gerston is entitled to the Society's premium for the best 

 strawberries, which is accordingly awarded him ; and they 

 further award him a premium' of $5,00 for introducing 

 this new and most valuable variety. 



By order of the Committee, 



E. Phinney, Chairman.' 

 The first mentioned varieties, may be purchased at the 

 rate of .f 1 per hundred ; Wilmot's Superb, at $5 per 

 hundred; Keens' Seedling, at $15 per hundred, $2,50 

 per dozen, or 25 cents per single plant. August 20.
