290 Description of a new Seedling Strawberry, 



The chapel is a rather plain building in the Doric order, 

 and from the terrace in front a magnificent view is obtained 

 of Paris. From this to the left of the entrance avenue, the 

 walk descends to the lower part of the cemetery, where are 

 buried those who are " unknown to fame." This part, how- 

 ever, possesses the least interest. It is partially covered with 

 a growth of locust and lime trees, which, while they afford 

 a shady retreat during the heat of summer, fill the air in the 

 earlier part of the season with their delicious odor. These 

 are trees which are well suited to such places, and those who 

 are forming cemeteries, should bear this in mind ; the weep- 

 ing lime is a tree particularly fitted for the purpose. 



Night approached before we had fully completed our walk, 

 and we were compelled to take a hasty leave of this beauti- 

 ful spot.

Art. II. Description of a new Seedling Strawberry, called 

 the Boston Pine ; with an engraving of the fruit. By the 

 Editor. 



Previous to the introduction of our Seedling strawberry, 

 few, if any attempts had been made in this country to pro- 

 duce new varieties from seed ; the success, however, which 

 attended our experiments, induced cultivators to give more 

 attention to the subject, and since that time, a great number 

 of seedlings have been brought into notice, though but few of 

 them have possessed sufficient merit to stand the test of trial. 



Having succeeded in producing another seedling possessing 

 qualities as valuable as the one now so universally known 

 and cultivated, — we embrace the opportunity to give a full 

 description of the variety, and a drawing of the fruit. Am- 

 ateurs and cultivators, who have proved our old seedling, 

 after five or six year's trial, to be equal, if not superior to the 

 character we gave it, will find the new one no less true to the 

 description. We have called it the Boston Pine. 



Our first and only attempt at the production of seedling 

 strawberries was made in the Spring of 1834, and the result
