98 SMALL FRUIT CULTUEIST. 



medium ; plants tall, vigorous, and productive. Origi- 

 nated with J. B. Moore, Concord, Mass. 



Hooker. Large, short, obtuse-conical, nearly globular; 

 dark crimson ; very sweet and rich ; too soft and dark 

 colored for market, but a fine variety for the amateur. 

 The plants are a little tender, and should always be pro- 

 tected in winter to insure a good crop. Originated with 

 H. E. Hooker, Eochester, N. Y. 



Hovey. (Germantown, Young's Seedling.) Large, 

 conical ; bright crimson, handsome ; sub-acid, sprightly, 

 good. An old and much esteemed variety, and largely

 Originated with 0. M. Hovey, of Boston, Mass., in 1834. 



Huddleston's Favorite. This variety has been dis-

 a rich, spicy flavor. Said to be a vigorous grower and 

 wonderfully prolific. Pistillate.

 moderately firm, excellent flavor ; ripens late, and con- 

 tinues in fruit a long time ; plants grow rather tall, but 

 are vigorous, hardy, and prolific. A valuable variety, 

 which has been fully tested over a wide extent of coun- 

 try. Succeeds well on light as well as heavy soils. 



Ladies 9 Pine. Small to medium, round ; pale orange- 

 scarlet, with a slight crimson tint in the sun ; seeds rather 

 prominent ; flesh soft, sweet and rich, highly perfumed, 

 probably the most delicious flavored variety known. Ee-

 tive ; nevertheless it is well worthy of a place in the most 

 select collection. Pistillate. Originated in Canada, with 

 Mr. Eead. 



Lady Finger. Medium, elongated, conical ; color bril-
