3SS THE STRAWBERRY. 



Crimson Cone. (Syn. Dutch Berry.) Medium, uniformly 

 conical, bright crimson, rich, acid. 



Dundee. Rather large, roundish oval, regular ; fine light 

 scarlet, firm, rich, acid, flavor fine for a large sort. Hardy, 

 a most profuse bearer. 



Hudson's Bay. (Syn. Hudson, Old Hudson ?) Rather large, 

 ovate, usually with a neck, often without, dark rich red ; 

 flesh firm, of a high, brisk acid flavor, requiring full ma- 

 turity to be fine. Rather late. Profusely productive. 



A. J. Downing regards the Hudson's Bay as identical 

 with the Old or Cincinnati Hudson, so extensively culti- 

 vated as a market fruit in southern Ohio. His opinion is 

 disputed by N. Longworth and others, of Cincinnati. 



The Willey of Ohio, resembles the Hudson, is a most pro- 

 fuse bearer, even with trifling care, but the flavor is not 

 first-rate. 



Methven Scarlet. {Syn. Methven, Methven Castle.) Very 

 large, roundish or coxcomb-shaped ; color rather dull scar- 

 let, soft, insipid, often hollow; season medium. 



Roseberry. (Syn. Aberdeen, Scotch Scarlet.) Size me- 

 dium, ovate-conical, with a short neck, dark red, flesh 

 firm, flavor tolerable ; season medium. 



The Black Roseberry is better in quality, dark purplish red, 

 a poor bearer. 



Class II. Pine Strawberries. 

 Section I. Flowers Staminate. 



Boston Pine. Large, roundish, very slightly conical, regu- 

 lar, deep red, flesh pale scarlet, solid, rich-flavored, hardy. 

 Often highly productive. Needs a fertile soil, and culti- 

 vation in " hills " or rows. Early. One of the best of 

 strawberries. Originated by Hovey & Co., Boston. 



Brewer's, Emperor. Large, ovate, dark red, of fine flavor; 

 resembles Keene's Seedling, bat hardy and productive. 

 English. New.
