FAIRY QUEEN. Raised at the royal garden of Frogmore. 

 Large, long conical, bright rosy orange; seeds prominent; 

 flesh snow white, firm, juicy, highly perfumed. Very hardy 

 and productive. 



FANNY (De Jonghe). New, 1869. Plant strong and vigorous; 

 leaves large, pale, dull green, acquiring finally a straw color; 

 deeply incised ; fruit conical, regular, cherry red, with abun- 

 dant seeds. The flesh is "dull white, or flesh colored, juicy and

FELTON'S SEEDLING. 



FERDINANDE. Large, regular, obtusely conical, deep scarlet red ; 

 seeds light yellow; flesh firm, juicy, and high flavored. A 

 French variety. 



FERDINAND GLOEDE (De Jonghe). New, 1869. Figured in cat- 

 alogues of 1870, and described as a very beautiful fruit, conical 

 or heart shaped, very large, cherry color; seeds prominent; 

 flesh white, with red veins ; melting, very sweet, and highly 

 perfumed. Gloede calls it one of the best of De Jonghe's ac- 

 quisitions. 



FERTILIZED HAUTBOIS (Myatt). The most prolific, largest, and 

 finest of its class. Medium, conical, deep purple in the sun ; 

 sweet flavor. Pretty good bearer. Fig. in Album de Pomologie, 

 IV. 78. 



FILBERT PINE (Myatt). This has proved a very feeble grower 

 with me. Fruit conical, rosy orange ; flesh white ; seeds prom- 

 inent, sweet, and perfumed with a rich, nutty flavor. Forces 

 well, and likes a strong, rich soil. In England its color is dull 

 purple, and its quality variable. 



FILLBASKET (Nicholson). Fruit rather large, roundish, some- 

 times flattened; pale red, hollow, with a core; little flavor. 

 Leaf-stalks very heavy ; leaflets deeply and sharply serrate ; 

 glaucous beneath. 



FILLMORE (Feast). Originated in Baltimore. Large, obtusely 

 conical, dark crimson, rich, sweet, and good. Leaves rough, 

 large, round, and very dark green. Gives a fair crop in deep 

 soil. Pistillate.
