18. Bermuda {Bei-muda Extra Early). Like the last and Large 

 Red, only that it was later than either. — Landreth. 



19. Precursor. Mach less cornered than the Large Eed or Con- 

 queror, without any sprinkling of golden yellow spots. As 

 compared with Tom Thumb, the fruit averages a little larger 

 and darker colored, — College from Nellis. 



20. Cluster. {Extra Early). Scarcely differs from the last, except 

 in its earliness. — Landreth. 



21. Jackson. {Jackson^s Favorite). Larger than the Large Eed, 

 the surface, especially beneath, usually covered with minute 

 golden dots. Larger and more uniform and better in* shape 

 than the Conqueror. A good variety. — England. 



22. Turk's Cap. {Turkei^lund). Plants 

 producing many slender, up-^ 

 right shoots; fruit one and one- 

 half to two inches across, nearly 

 spherical, crowned by a singular, 

 irregular mass of protruded, fleshy 

 cells. Fig. 7. Valuable only as a 

 curiosity. — Prussia. 



"** Leaflets much involute or *^ curled." 



23. Early Diuarf Red. {Rouge tiaine 

 hative. Friihe rathe ziverg.) Nor- 

 mal fruits about two inches across 

 by one inch deep, dark orange red, 

 conspicuously angled or even cor- 

 nered. — England, France, Prussia, 

 the Prussian specimens being 

 earlier. 



24. Hubbard's Curled Leaf. {Kraushldtter. Rouge grosse hative.) 

 Fruit somewhat larger than that of the last, not so conspicu- 

 ously squared. As compared with Tom Thumb, the plant is 

 larger, leaflets less curled, fruit more variable in size and shape 

 and approaching more nearly the character of the apple-shaped 

 sorts. — College from Nellis, Prussia, France. 



25. Keyes. {Reyes' Early Prolific.) Fruit rather small, about two 

 inches across by one inch deep, the angles few and large and 

 giving the fruit a regular and even shape peculiar in this group. 

 Leaflets much curled, larger than in most of the group. An 

 old sort. — Prussia. 



^6. Tom Ihumb. Plant small, two to two and a half feet high when 

 tied; leaflets very much curled, so that the upper surface is often 

 nearly hidden; fruit early, the larger specimens from two to 

 three inches across, usually less than an inch and a half deep, 

 mostly much angled, clear light red, firm and meaty. A joretty 

 sort, strongly resembling Hundred Days. 



27. Ge&treifte. ("Striped.") In shape the fruit is much like that 

 of Hubbard's Curled Leaf, but it is streaked and splashed with 

 irregular lines of orange, or sometimes, even, the orange is pre- 

 dominant, the I'ed assuming the position of stripes. Curious. — 

 Prussia.
