STRAWBERRY. 107 



Kimberley Pine, (Kimberley} Large, irregular, oval 

 or flattened, bright crimson ; seeds very prominent ; flesh 

 very solid, red, juicy and brisk; productive, and late in 

 ripening. 



La Constitute. (De Jonghe} Large, regular, conical, 

 bright crimson, fine flavor ; flesh firm ; ripens late. One 

 of the most beautiful Strawberries known. The plant is 

 a dwarf grower, and requires a moist, rich soil, and even 

 under the highest culture it is not very productive. 



La Sultanne. (De Jonghe.} Large, conical, bright 

 deep scarlet, of excellent flavor, but the plant a poor 

 grower, and unproductive. 



Lucida Perfecta, (G-loede.) Said to be a cross be- 

 tween the British Queen and the Fragaria lucida of Cal- 

 ifornia. Large, round, bright salmon color ; flesh solid, 

 sweet and rich. It is worthless with me, but it is said to 

 do well in some localities. 



Lorenz Booth. (De Jonghe.} Large, oval, bright 

 glossy red ; flesh dark crimson, solid, sweet, but sprightly ; 

 hardy. 



Leon de Saint Laumer, (Dupuy Jamin.) Large, 

 conical^ bright pale scarlet; flesh carmine, rich, juicy and 

 sweet ; moderately prolific. 



Lucas, (De Jonghe} Large, roundish, oval, glossy 

 crimson ; flesh hard, firm and crisp ; good flavor, and a 

 very good grower. 



Marguerite, (Le Breton} Very large, long, conical, 

 pale scarlet, sweet, but rather insipid. With extra culti 

 vation it is quite productive, but the plant is naturally 

 feeble. A very fine show fruit. 



Napoleon III. Fruit large, of a brilliant crimson ; 

 flesh firm, juicy ; plant vigorous. The Austin has been 

 sent out from several establishments in this country under 

 this name.
