Fig. 12. DURAND. 



color scarlet; flesh firm, solid; nearly white, of good 

 flavor. This variety has only a moderate local reputa-

Forest Hose. Large, ir-

 bright scarlet ; flesh firm, of 

 good flavor ; a superior mar- 

 ket variety, but does not suc- 

 ceed well in all kinds of 

 soils that are usually consid- 

 ered well adapted to the 

 Strawberry. (Fig. 13), 



Glendale. Large, regu-

 flesh firm, acid, not first 

 quality, but a valuable late 

 variety for market. Succeeds best on rather firm soils 

 and poorly on sandy land. 



Green Prolific. Large round ; pale crimson or 

 deep scarlet ; seeds slightly 

 sunken, rather soft, acid, 

 without richness, but highly 

 perfumed. A wonderfully

 extensively cultivated a few

 succeeds on a great variety of 

 soils, and when left to grow 

 with little or no cultivation. 

 Fig. 14 shows a berry about
