RASPBERRIES. 



XXII. STRAWBERRIES. 



The classification of Strawberries published in the Horticultural 

 Transactions, Vol. VI. has been adhered to in the following 

 enumeration. In regard to size it will be necessary to observe 

 that the comparisons are made between the individual varieties 

 of which each class is composed, and do not extend to those of 

 other classes. The general estimation of many of the sorts is 

 not so high as has been formerly stated, owing to their having 

 been found tender, or indifferent bearers, compared with others 

 which experience has proved to be superior. The abbreviations 

 are as follow : 



Size. 1. large; 2. middle-sized ; 3. small. 



Quality. 1. first-rate; 2. middling ; 3. indifferent or bad. 



Season. As formerly explained. 



CLASS I. SCARLET STRAWBERRIES.
