LA SULTANNE (Dr. Nicaise). Seedling of Prince Arthur. 

 Large, conical, very light red; seeds brown, slightly imbedded; 

 flesh white, with an abundance of sweet and perfumed juice. 

 This has sometimes been sold for, or confounded with La Con- 

 stante. 



* LA VERSAILLAISE. Very large, oblong, bright scarlet ; flesh 

 reddish, firm, juicy, and sweet. 



LADIES' AROMATIC (Prince). Seedling of the Ladies' Pine, but 

 larger, round, pale scarlet, sweet, aromatic, exquisite flavor. 

 Hardy, productive, and pistillate. 



LADIES' FAVORITE (Prince). 



LADIES' PINE (Read). Small to medium, round, pale orange 

 scarlet, slightly crimson in the sun; seeds prominent; flesh 

 soft, sweet and rich, and called by Fuller " probably the most 

 delicious flavored variety known." Requires high culture. 

 Unproductive and pistillate. Originated in Canada, and said 

 to be a seedling of Burr's Pine. 



LADY, THE (Underbill). Large to very large, round or flattened, 

 rosy white, brighter near the calyx; seeds superficial: flesh 

 snow white, tender, sweet, and perfumed. Vigorous, produc- 

 tive, and very late. Its color makes it a very distinct variety. 



LADY'S FINGER (Prosser). Medium, elongated, conical; color 

 brilliant dark scarlet; seeds set in an open cavity; flesh very 

 firm, subacid, good ; plant vigorous and productive. Origi- 

 nated with Benjamin Prosser, Burlington, N. J. (Fuller.) Fig. 

 in Fuller, p. 95. 



LADY'S FINGER. An English variety; described as oblong, 

 orange scarlet; flesh white, sweet, and high flavored. Vines 

 vigorous and productive. 



LADY OF THE LAKE (Scott). Large, rather uneven, conical, 

 dark red; seeds deep set; flesh pretty firm, not of the highest 

 flavor, but good. Plants very vigorous, hardy, and with the 

 originator astonishingly productive. Pistillate. I have fruited 

 this one season, and do not think it a very choice amateur 

 berry; but it is fast working into favor with the market-men. 

 Originated in Brighton, Mass. A cross of Prince Albert and 

 Brighton Pine. Originated in 1862. Fig. in Tilton's Jour, of 

 Hort. IV. 93. 



LAFAYETTE. A Syn. of Prolific Hautbois.
