 REINE DE QUATRE SAISONS. An Alpine. 

 RBUS VAN ZUIDWIJK (Van de Water). New, 1869. Enormous, 



elongated, flattened or cockscombed, bright vermilion red ; flesh 



rosy, melting, sweet. Hardy, vigorous, and late. Making few

RICHMOND. 



RIFLEMAN (Ingram). Very large to enormous, elongated; some-
