AMERICAN FRUIT TREES.—A few years since the London Horticultural Society obtained from the great nurseries of the Messrs. Prince, at Flushing, several hundred varieties of fruit trees, and our attention has just been called to the subject by a shipment to the same society in the last London packet of above 100 additional varieties, which were also obtained from Messrs. Prince & Co., of Flushing. Thus is our country paying back to the Eastern Hemisphere all she ever received from it, and with accumulated interest.
