British Queen. Often confounded with Hyatt's Eliza, and by 

 some said to be undistinguishable from the Rival Queen. 



ONARGA (Owens). New. Roundish conical, bright scarlet; 

 flesh solid and white, with a rich, wild flavor; highly perfumed. 

 A very large-leaved, tall, strong growing variety. Originated 

 in Onarga, 111. 



ONONDAGA (Ford). A cross between the Victoria and Hovey's. 

 Large, soft, good flavor, considered promising. 



ONE-LEAVED STRAWBERRY. (Syn. Fragaria Monophylla.} An 

 Alpine strawberry similar to the Green Alpine. Leaves simple, 

 not divided. Fig. in Curtis's Botanical Magazine, II. 63, and 

 in Duhnmel, VI. 342. Fuller, with whom a similar strawberry 

 has orginated, says probably not in cultivation, but it is adver- 

 tised in the late French catalogues. 



OPHELIA (Prince). Described as sweet and pleasant. Said to 

 be a seedling from the Scarlet Magnate. Best if grown in 

 stools, and an excellent fertilizer for pistillate kinds. 



ORANGE OR ORANGE PINE. Syn. of Hudson's Bay. 



ORANGE PROLIFIC (Ellwanger and Barry). Large, roundish, 

 somewhat oblate, often necked, deep crimson ; seeds deeply 

 sunken ; flesh rather firm, brisk, acid. Originated in Roches- 

 ter, N. Y. 



ORB (Nicholson). Round, very light colored, sweet, rich, and 

 good. Plants dwarf, of peculiar growth, the leaflets being a 

 little folded. I have fruited this three seasons, and consider it 

 the poorest bearer I know. Probably not one flower in twenty 

 sets a berry. 



ORNEMENT DES TABLES (Soupert and Netting). Fruit large, 

 oval or flattened, bright red ; seeds on the surface ; flesh rosy, 

 firm, juicy, sweet, and perfumed. Hardy and vigorous. De- 

 scribed by Gloede as an excellent berry. 



OSBAND'S MAMMOTH. 



OSCAR (Bradley). Large, ovate, angular, sometimes cocks- 

 combed ; seeds variable ; color from very dark red to mulberry ; 

 flesh described both as rosy white and as red; solid and firm; 

 juicy, and of rich flavor. In this country a poor grower, and 

 unproductive. Fig. in L'lllustration H*orticole, VI. 223. 



OTHELLO (Mrs. Clements). New, 1868. Medium, oval or round ; 

 brilliant purplish red; deeper when perfectly ripe; seeds on 

 the surface ; flesh red, firm, sweet, juicy, and brisk. 



OTTOLANDER'S PERPETUAL. New. Said to be an ever-bearing 

 strawberry, superior to Gloede's, very aromatic, and bearing 

 till frost.
