CATALOGUE OF VARIETIES.

 stalks long; leaves small ; fruit large to enormous, elongated, 

 orange vermilion ; seeds prominent; flesh salmon color; 

 sprightly, somewhat acid, but very good. New. Fig. in Rev. 

 Hort. 1869, 470. 



* ABERDEEN BEE-HIVE. This is the old Grove End Scarlet. 



ABINGTON BLUSH (Kohl). Conical; greenish white, with deep 

 scarlet red blush. Very handsome and good. Probably a seed- 

 ling of Lennig's White. Fig. in Gard. Month. IV. 211. 



ABRAHAM LINCOLN (Plattman). A new American variety, 

 described as very promising. Name changed to President. 



ADAIR (Elphinstone). (Syn. Sir Adair.} (?) An English va- 

 riety, described as very large, heart shaped, pointed, of a 

 deep varnished red, with rosy flesh. Vigorous and productive. 



ADELAIDE. 



ADMIRAL DUNDAS (Myatt). This is an enormous English vari- 

 ety. A shy bearer at best, and the vines need to be two years 

 old to show their best fruit. Berries very large, sometimes 

 only eighteen to the pound, variable in form, sometimes cocks- 

 combed, bright orange, with seeds on the surface ; flesh rosy, 

 sugary, and pretty good for so large a berry. I have found 

 but very few and very small strawberries on one-year plants. 



ADONIS (Prince). One of W. R. Prince's seedlings. Little known. 



A,FRICAINE (Dr. Nicaise). New. Described by the originator as 

 a strong plant, with large, smooth leaves borne on short foot- 

 stalks; fruit shining, deep red, almost black, truncated, con- 

 ical ; seeds prominent ; sugary, juicy, and perfumed.
