462 THE STRAWBERRY. 



scarlet, rich, sub-acid, sprightly flavor, moderately productive, ripens in 

 succession until about middle of July. (&quot; M. P. W., in Hort.&quot;) 



Ross PHCENIX. 



American. Staminate. Fruit large, roundish compressed, dark red ; 

 flesh firm, good flavor ; generally a poor bearer. 



SOUTHBOROUGH. 



Southborough Seedling, | Marshall s Seedling. 



English. Pistillate. Fruit medium, ovate, conical, sometimes pointed, 

 rich deep scarlet ; seeds small, deeply imbedded, mild rich flavor, firm 

 flesh, bearing carriage well. We have fruited this several years in con 

 nection with Large Early Scarlet,&quot; (to which it is a good mate,) and 

 found it more productive, and ripening equally early in season. Vines 

 hardy ; fruit and foot-stalks short. 



SWAINSTONE SEEDLING. 



English. Staminate. Fruit large ovate, light crimson, firm fleshed, 

 rich, delicious flavor. Ripens a long time, but is an uncertain bearer. 



SALTER S VERSAILLAISE. 



English. New. Not yet, we think, here introduced. We copy de 

 scription of Mr. R. Thompson, of London Hort. Society : 



Presented to the Society by Mr. John Salter, Nurseryman, Hammer 

 smith, Oct. 24, 1851. Fruit large, ovate, sometimes flattened or cock s- 

 comb-shaped, dark red ; seeds rather deeply embedded ; flesh pale, juicy, 

 and rich ; leaves middle-sized, roundish oval, widely serrated ; leaf-stalks, 

 scapes and runners hairy, the hairs spreading almost horizontally. A 

 good bearer. 



ORANGE PROLIFIC. 



American. Hermaphrodite. Fruit large, orange scarlet, acid, pro 

 ductive, late. (E. & B.) 



WHITE ALPINE. 

 Varies from Red Alpine only in the color of its fruit. 



VICTORIA. 



Hermaphrodite, sometimes pistillate. Fruit medium, to large, round, 

 conical, rich scarlet ; flesh firm, rich, high, slightly acid flavor. Season 

 with Hudson and Willey. Some six years since we received this variety, 

 but have never been able to find it described, or to recognize it as any 

 variety under different name. The vines are hardy and usually prolific. 



WILLEY. 



Wiley. 



American. Pistillate. Undoubtedly a seedling from Hudson, as plants 

 taken from the bed of Mrs. Willey, originally Hudson, (from whence its
