y6 Catalogue of Varieties. 



CRESCENT SEEDLING. Said to be a cross between the British 

 Queen and Keens's Seedling. This created a slight sensation 

 several years ago as a so-called perpetual strawberry, and was 

 then said to have been fruited seven consecutive months in New 

 Orleans. Probably out of cultivation now. 



CRIMSON CLUSTER (Mrs. Clements). Medium, round or oval, 

 deep red ; flesh rosy, sweet, juicy, with a distinct cherry taste. 

 Said to be hardy and productive. 



CRIMSON CONE. (Syn. Pine-apple, Scotch Runner, &c.) Me- 

 dium, regular, conical, long neck; seeds deep sunken; light 

 crimson ; flesh firm, acid, rich flavor, and highly perfumed. An 

 old variety. Too small and too sour, but largely raised for the 

 New York market. Pistillate. Fig. in Fuller, p. 90. 



CRIMSON FAVORITE (Fuller). Large, obtusely conical, dark 

 shining crimson ; flesh firm, rich, and sprightly. Seedling of 

 the Wilson, resembling its parent in its fruit, but not in its 

 foliage. Unproductive. 



CRIMSON PERFUMED (Prince). Large, obovate, crimson, sweet, 

 high flavored, and productive. Pistillate. 



CRIMSON PROFUSE (Prince). Medium, rounded, acid, crimson, 

 firm. Pistillate. 



CRIMSON PROLIFIC Prince). Medium, conical, crimson, sweet, 

 and good. Pistillate. 



CRIMSON QUEEN (Myatt). (Syn. Doubleday's No. 2.) Fruit 

 large, variable, dull red; seeds prominent; flesh rosy, sweet, 

 and perfumed. Vines feeble, but productive. Late. One cul- 

 tivator describes this variety as " a good grower," and another 

 calls the fruit bright scarlet, acid. 



CROOKSHANK. 



CRYSTAL PALACE is said to be Eleanor (Myatt). 



CULVERWELL'S SEEDLING. Long, tapering, ridgy, very dark, 

 blackish red; flesh firm and rich. English. 



GUSHING (Brinckle). Medium, roundish, conical, light scarlet; 

 flesh tender, sprightly, and pleasant. Originated in Philadel- 

 phia. 



CUTTER'S SEEDLING (Cutter). (Syn. Bunce.} Small to me- 

 dium, conical, with short neck, bright scarlet; seeds yellow 

 and brown ; fle'sh moderately firm, -sprightly, and good. Very 

 early and productive, but by no means a first class fruit. I have 

 known twenty-six hundred quarts raised on one half acre of 

 land, with not the highest cultivation. Originated in Massa- 

 chusetts, where it is raised for market. 



CYNTHIA (Prince). Large, round, crimson, exquisite flavor.
