94 SMALL FKUIT CULTURIST. 



( Germantown, Young 's Seedling.) Large, 

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

 good. An old and much esteemed variety, and largely cul- 

 tivated for supplying the Boston Market. Pistillate. 

 Originated with C. M. Hovey, of Boston, Mass., nearly 

 forty years ago. 



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, Rochester, N. Y. 



Iowa* (Washington.) Large, globular, somewhat 

 compressed ; seeds deeply imbedded in a wide cavity, 

 light orange scarlet, acid, inferior flavor, very early, pro- 

 ductive and hardy. This variety was formerly extensively 

 grown about Cincinnati, under the name of Washington. 



Ida. Small, slightly conical ; color bright scarlet ; 

 rather acid, but good; hardy and productive. Has been 

 but little disseminated, but promises to be an excellent 

 market variety. Pistillate. Originated with E. H. Cocklin, 

 Shepherdstown, Pa. 



Ladies' 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. Re- 

 quires extra culture, and even then it is not very produc- 

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

 select collection. Pistillate. Originated in Canada, with 

 Mr. Read. 



Le Baron* Medium to large, obtuse-conical, dark red ; 

 flesh soft, sweet, and high flavored, not very productive, 

 but a vigorous grower, and very hardy. Raised by Mr, 

 Prince from the old Swainstone. Pistillate.
