52 THE STRAWBERRY CULTTJRIST. 



England States, but I have not learned of its success 

 elsewhere. 



Seth Boyden. Very large, irregular, conical with 

 long neck ; dull crimson ; flesh firm, rather dry, sweet 

 and of excellent flavor ; plant, extra vigorous and pro- 

 ductive when cultivated in hills and in a rich soil. One 

 of the very best and most valuable of all the extra large 

 varieties. 



Sharpless. This is another of the mammoth va- 

 rieties and the more remarkable because it has proved 

 to be all that was claimed for it when first introduced. 

 Uniformly large ; often broadly wedge-form and wider 

 at the top than at the calyx; light glossy red; flesh 

 firm, juicy, rich and highly perfumed ; plant vigorous 

 and productive. One of the very best. 



Fig. 16. TRIOMPHE DE GAND. 



Triomphe de Oand. One of the most popular 

 and valuable varieties ever introduced. Very large ir- 

 regular, conical, but often flattened or coxcomb shape
