424 Strawberries. 



Scarlet Cone. Large, conical ; bright scarlet, beautiful. Vigorous 

 and productive. Rochester, N. Y. 



Western Queen. Rather large, roundish conical ; rich, glossy dark 

 red ; flesh firm, juicy, sub-acid, sprightly, agreeable. Cleveland, 

 Ohio. 



Willey. Medium, roundish ; deep crimson ; firm, sprightly, acid

 long. 



CLASS II. ALPINE AND WOOD STRAWBERRIES. 



Bush Alpine. The Red and White Bush Alpine resemble the 

 common Alpines in every particular, except in an entire destitu- 

 tion of runners. Hence they grow in compacl bunches, and are 

 considered valuable as edging for kitchen garden beds. They 

 are necessarily propagated by dividing the roots. They bear 

 through the whole season, even more uniformly than the common 

 Alpines. 



The Alpine and Wood Strawberries are easily propagated from 

 seed, with very little or no variation. 



Red Alpine. (Alpine Monthly.) Rather small, long conical ; seeds 

 not sunk ; color red ; quite sweet, mild, not high flavored. 

 Ripens a good crop just after the usual strawberry season, 

 and if damp and shaded on a deep rich soil, through the season 

 till winter frosts. An abundant autumnal crop is secured by 

 clipping the spring blossoms. 



The White Alpine is quite similar, except in its light yellowish or 

 nearly white fruit. 



Red Wood. Resembles the Alpine in size, 

 flavor, and general appearance, but has 

 rounder fruit, and does not continue so 

 long through the season. 



The White Wood only differs in its light 

 colored fruit. 



The Wood Strawberries are of little value. 



CLASS III. HAUTBOIS STRAWBERRIES. 



Belle Bordelaise. Medium, conical, with a 

 fine musky flavor. One of the best of the 

 Hautbois. 



Prolific. (Conical Hautbois, Musk Haut-
