pots, growing strongly, and bearing perfectly ripe fruit, not 

 only very fine in appearance, but excellent in flavour, were 

 exhibited by Mr. Lee, of Hammersmith. The plants having 

 been forced in pots in the spring, and subsequently turned 

 out into an open border, were re-potted in October, and 

 placed in a vinery, where they began, and continued for a

 under skilful treatment, and thus to extend the supply of 

 Strawberries almost through the whole year. 



At the same Meeting. A letter was received from John 

 Williams, Esq. of Pitmaston, near Worcester, describing a 

 Double-bearing Red Raspberry (which he had raised from 

 seed), much superior to the old kind, which produces fruit 

 of indifferent quality. The second crop of this new variety 

 commences in August, and is well flavoured till the middle 

 of October ; but even after that time, it continues to bear, 

 as appeared by the plant received by the Society, at the 

 same time with the letter, having a branch with fruit upon

 of the annual shoots, but also on suckers, which rise from 

 the root about Midsummer, and bear abundantly. Mr. 

 Williams believes that this Raspberry, when known, will 

 become a great favourite, not only in private gardens, but 

 with the market gardeners.

 a market gardener, from the use of fresh dung, in preference
