104 SMALL FRUIT CULTURIST. 



firm flesh of this variety make it an excellent fruit for 

 shipping, as it is not likely to become braised during 

 tr.msit. Originated with Mr. Oscar Felton, from seed 

 of the Lady Finger. Figure 43 from "American Agri- 

 culturist," 1880. 



Scotch Riiiiupr. Small; oval; bright scarlet ; good 

 flavor. Largely cultivated for market in New Jersey, but 

 should have been discarded long ago, and 

 its place filled by larger and better varie- 

 ties. Pistillate. Figure 44 shows one 

 of the berries of full size. 



Scett's Seedling. (Scarlet Runner.) 

 Medium ; elongated-conical ; bright light 

 scarlet, very handsome ; sweet, rather dry, 

 not high flavored, but good ; plants moder- 

 ately vigorous and productive. An old 

 Fig. 44~^scoTCH variety, but little cultivated at present ; 

 yet it is one of the most beautiful berries 

 we possess. Requires good culture, and with it will 

 yield an abundant crop. Originated about twenty years 

 ago with J. Scott, of Brighton, Mass. 



Seth Boydcn. (Boydea's No. 30.) Very large; irregu- 

 lar-conical, with long neck ; dull crimson ; flesh firm, 

 rather dry, but sweot and of good flavor ; plant extra 

 strong and vigorous, and quite prolific when grown in 

 hills, but otherwise unproductive. This is one of the best 

 market varieties in cultivation, and under good care and 

 in rich soils, berries of immense size are readily produced. 

 Originated with the late Seth Boyden, of Newark, N. J., 

 and disseminated by him as No. 30 of his seedlings, but 

 since his death, b/ common consent, it has been given 

 the name of the originator. 



Sharpless. This is another mammoth variety, and a 

 genuine surprise to Strawberry growers generally, because 

 it has proved to be all that was claimed for it at the time
