360 A Selection of Twelve Varieties of Strawberries. 



of all Strawberries, and a full and profuse crop may be earlier 

 supplied for the market from this variety, than from any other ; 

 plant vigorous, with large foliage. A very striking and remark- 

 able variety. 



Diadem, P. Very large and showy, rounded, beautiful light 

 scarlet, pleasant flavor — a remarkably fine, and beautiful berry ; 

 plant very robust, vigorous, and hardy, with tall, light-green 

 foliage ; very productive. A seedling of the Iowa. 



Huntsman's Favorite, P. Large, obtuse cone, bright scarlet, 

 very handsome, sprightly, juicy, sweet, and very fine ; productive 

 ■ — very valuable. This variety was selected by Prof Huntsman, 

 from a bed of many seedlings, and was named as above. 



Crimson Perfumed, P. Large, obovate or rounded, crimson, 

 sweet, juicy, high perfumed flavor when fully ripe ; very product- 

 ive — valuable ; foliage dark-green. 



Rubicon, P. Very large, obtuse cone, or rounded, crimson 

 juicy, fine flavor, highly productive, very valuable ; foliage dark 

 green, and vigorous. 



Malvina, p. Large, obovate, bright crimson, juicy, sprightly, 

 good flavor, very productive. This variety greatly resembles 

 Hovey's Seedling, its parents, both in the growth and foliage of 

 the plant, and in the form of its fruit. But when contrasted, it 

 is rather smaller, with the advantage that the berries are of a 

 more average size, and less unequal than that variety. The color 

 is a brighter red, the berries more juicy, and of a more spirited 

 and higher flavor ; and it ripens fully a week or more before the 

 Hovey, thus obviating the disadvantages of that variety. It is 

 firm, and well suited for market ; foliage, dark-green and luxuri- 

 ant when in full growth. A grower, who sent a considerable 

 quantity to market the past season, contracted for the whole at 

 thirty-one cents per quart.
