Catalogue of Varieties. 69 



Plant vigorous and productive; best grown in hills in a rich, 

 deep soil. The berries lose their color soon after being gath- 

 ered. This variety has been largely used as a fertilizer for 

 Hovey's Seedling. Fig. in Hovey's Fruits of America, I. 27. 



BOUDINOT PROLIFIC (Boudinot). A seedling of the Wilson. 

 Originated in Alexandria, Ohio, in 1862. Vine hardy and pro- 

 ductive; fruit regularly conical, uniform, firm and large; 

 flavor like Agriculturist. 



BOUHON (Gloede). Said to be like Sir Charles Napier in growth. 

 Flesh firm, very juicy and sugary. 



BOULE D'OR (Boisselot). Very large, round, flattened, bright 

 glossy orange-scarlet; seeds prominent; flesh white, sweet, 

 and good. Fig. in Fuller, p. 104, and described by Gloede 

 as " probably the handsomest strawberry known." 



BOYDEN'S MAMMOTH. Said to be identical with Trollope's Vic- 

 toria. Described as a roundish, depressed, deep crimson. 

 Vigorous, but not very productive. 



BOYDEN'S No. 15 (Boyden). New. Described as very large, 

 productive, and beautiful. 



BOYDEN'S No. 30 (Boyden). An immense roundish, conical ber- 

 ry, with a long neck ; crimson or dark scarlet. As I saw it last 

 summer, it was a very striking exhibition berry, but too soft. 



BRESLINGE D'ANGLETERRE. (Syn. de Pennsylvam'e.} A green 

 strawberry, Roundish, ovate, very small and poor. 



* BRETTONEAU. 



BREWER'S EMPEROR. Medium, ovate, dark red, and good. An 

 English variety. 



BRIDGETOWN PINE. A Connecticut seedling. 



BRIGHTON PINE (Scott). Medium to large, roundish conical, 

 with short neck ; light crimson ; flesh a little soft, sweet, juicy, 

 and good. Much employed by cultivators near Boston as a 

 fertilizer for Hovey's Seedling. 



BRILLIANT (Prince). Large, conical, deep crimson. 



BRITANNIA. 



BRITISH QUEEN (Myatt). This is perhaps the most famous 

 strawberry ever raised in England, and has been very widely 

 grown there,' where it is a favorite market berry. Unfortu- 

 nately, it does not come to full perfection here ; and it is not 

 only tender, but very capricious in its choice of soils. It is the 

 parent of many excellent kinds. Fruit of the largest size, 

 roundish, slightly conical, rich scarlet; flesh pure white, and 

 of the highest flavor. Forces admirably. Fig. in Hort. VII.
