ENGLISH, FSEJTCH'AND BELGIAN VARIETIES. 



These are all of the Fine family {Pragaria Grandifiord) up to Xo. 141, and the most of 

 them are of Belgian origin, and of a much more hardy character than the English varieties, 

 which have been heretofore introduced and discarded. They produce very large and beautiful 

 berries, with white, and some with rosy flesh, and are remarkable for their sweetness, exquisite 

 flavor and perfume. The Triomphe de Gaud has become most generally known, but there are 

 numerous varieties greatly superior to it in sweetness and flavor. The Pine family require a 

 strong, rich soil, and to be cultivated in rows or stools, and kept free from runners. They are 

 well worthy the special attention of amateurs. We have made a selection of the hardiest 

 varieties, and have noted such as are best adapted to field culture, and their fruit will always 

 command an extra price at the Refectory saloons and in the market. But very few of these 

 admirable varieties can be found in any other American Collection. They are all Hermaphro- 

 dites.
