XXII. STRAWBERRIES. 



The classification of Strawberries published in the Horticultural 

 Transactions, Vol. VI. has been adhered to in the follow- 

 ing enumeration. In regard to size it will be necessary to 

 observe that the comparisons are made between the individual 

 varieties of which each class is composed, and do not extend to 

 those of other classes. The general estimation of many of the 

 sorts is not so high as has been formerly stated, owing to their 

 having been found tender, or indifferent bearers, compared with 

 others which experience has proved to be superior. The abbre- 

 viations are as follow : 



Size. 1. large j 2. middle-sized -, 3. small. 



Quality. 1, first-rate j 2, middling j 3, indifferent or bad. 



Season. As formerly explained.
