]Vc7U Strawberries. 217 



in general cultivation. Though not first class in flavor, its beauty and 

 firmness, added to its good size, make it a fine market strawberry. It 

 may be described as large to very large, sometimes obtusely conical, 

 and perfectly regular in shape ; and in other localities cockscombed and 

 flattened, bright, light scarlet. Seeds of good size, yellow, somewhat 

 imbedded. Flesh pink, very firm, sweet, and good ; not very high fla- 

 vored, and occasionally hollow. 



The plants make handsome hills, and to give the best satisfaction 

 should be grown in that method, with high culture. 



Boydeits No. 30 (Bo3den). — A new variety of great vigor and pro- 

 ductiveness, which render it promising for market purposes. Mr. 

 Downing speaks of its firmness ; but so far as my observation extends, 

 it is quite deficient in this respect. Large, roundish, slightly conical, 

 regular, sometimes depressed at the apex, generally necked, seeds large 

 and prominent. Flesh subacid, rich, and juicy. 



Boyden's No. 30.
