LARGE BLACK SEEDLING. Large, roundish, second quality. 

 Late. An old English kind. 



LARGE BLUSH CHILI. Large, ovate, third rate, and late; 



LARGE CLIMAX (Prince). Large, obtusely conical, bright deep 

 scarlet; flesh white, sweet, of very good flavor. Plant vigor- 

 ous, hardy, and productive. Belongs to the Iowa class. 



LARGE EARLY SCARLET. (Syn. Early Virginia.} Medium, 

 oval, regular, bright scarlet ; flesh tender, rich, sweet, and 

 good. Very early. The Native Scarlet, the presumed parent 

 of this variety, is a few days later. Fig. in Thomas's Fruit 

 Culturist, p. 418. 



LARGE FLAT HAUTBOIS. (Syn. White, Bath, Formosa, not to 

 be confounded with the New Formosa of Dr. Nicaise, Sai- 

 ler's, Loudorts, Weymouth.} Roundish, depressed, light red, 

 pale on the under side ; flesh greenish, no core, delicious flavor, 

 but perhaps inferior to the Prolific Hautbois. Seeds imbedded. 

 An old variety, rather late, and a good bearer. 



*LATE PROLIFIC (Burr). Good size, rich, and excellent. Vines 

 vigorous and hardy. Extremely late. Pistillate. 



LAURELLA. According to Downing, fruit large, broadly conical, 

 scarlet; seeds yellowish brown; flesh soft, pink, acid; accord- 

 ing to others, sourer than the Wilson. Pistillate. 



LAWRENCIA (Prince). Described as large, bright scarlet, ob- 

 tusely conical, fine flavor, and productive. Pistillate. 



LE BARON (Prince). A seedling from the Swainstone. Medium 

 to large, obtusely conical, dark red ; flesh soft, sweet, and high 

 flavored. Not productive, but vigorous and hardy. 



LEEDS'S PROLIFIC. Medium, light scarlet. 



LENNIG'S WHITE (Lennig). (Syn. White Pine-apple, Albion 

 White, Albino, White Albany.} Often incorrectly spelled Len- 

 ni#gs. An American variety, and the best of all white straw- 

 berries. Thought by some inferior in flavor to Bicton Pine ; 

 but the latter cannot compare in vigor or productiveness with 

 Lennig's, which, if kept in rows with the runners clipped, gives 

 a very good crop. Fruit medium to large, roundish, conical, 

 very obtuse or compressed, rosy on the sunny side, pure white 

 on the other. Seeds' conspicuous ; flesh melting, delicious, and 

 pine-apple flavor. Said to be a seedling of the Wilson, but this 

 seems very improbable. 



LEONCE DE LAMBERTYE (De Jonghe). 1861 or later. Named 

 probably for M. le Comte Lambertye, the author of an elaborate 

 French work on strawberries. Large, conical, a little flattened
