NEW STRAWBERRIES. 



By J. M. Merrick, Walpole, Mass. 



Haquin (Haquin). — Several years since I cultivated a spurious 

 variety sent out under this name, which was absolutely worthless. Last 

 year I fruited one which is probably the genuine kind, and which is very 

 good for a foreign kind. The fruit is borne on tall, stiff fruit stalks, is 

 large, obtusely conical, very bright colored. Rich, juicy, and pleasant. 

 Something of the class of Triomphe de Gand. Does well in rich, sandy 

 soil, not over-moist. A good and showy variety.

Leon de St. Laumer (Dupuy Jamin). — A strong-growing, vigorous 

 variety ; very handsome and upright, but, unfortunately, a poor bearer. 

 Fruit large, conical, a little compressed, and pretty good. Grows well, 

 and makes a great show in poor soil.
