compressed, bright glossy red ; seeds on the surface ; flesh rosy 

 white, sweet, juicy, and brisk. Productive and early. 

 RUSSELL'S PROLIFIC (Russell). Fuller's description is extremely 

 accurate, viz. : very large, irregular, roundish conical, with 

 neck; deep crimson, moderately firm, sweet and perfumed, 

 good ; in sandy soils very good ; flesh lighter than the skin ; 

 leaves large ; upper surface wavy ; lobes broadly ovate. The 

 Russell is a much stronger grower than McAvoy's Superior, 

 and perfectly distinct from it. It has proved an abundant 

 bearer with me. Pistillate. Originated with H. Russell, Sen- 

 eca Falls, N. Y., 1856. 



SACCHARINE SCARLET (Prince). Described as moderate size, 

 conical, scarlet, sweet. Pistillate. 



SABREUR (Mrs. Clements). Large, handsome, conical, pointed, 

 pale orange red; seeds very prominent; flesh solid, firm, and 

 delicious. Very hardy and productive. Season medium. Fig. 

 in Fuller, p. 108. 



SAINT LAMBERT. 



SALTER'S VERSAILLAISE (Salter). Large, ovate, sometimes flat- 

 tened or cockscombed ; dark red ; flesh pale, juicy, and rich.

SCARLET CONE (Ellwanger and Barry). Large, perfect cone,

 ing, who does not mention its quality.)

* SCARLET MAGNATE (Prince). Large, roundish, compressed, 

 bright scarlet; flesh white, not high flavored; firm, and pretty 

 good. A vigorous grower, and productive. Pistillate. I have 

 found it to bear next to nothing the second year.
