Hovey's Seedling. Very large 

 roundish-oval, approaching co- 

 nical ; color deep shining scar- 

 let ; seeds slip-htly sunk ; firm, 

 rathei .-c/i, good. Very large, 

 showy, productive, and hence 

 fine for market. Season me- 

 dium. In some soils at the 

 north, it is liable to be thrown 

 out by frost, and needs winter 

 mulching. With high culture 

 it has been made very produc- 

 tive. Well known and popu- 

 lar. Raised by Hovey & Co., 

 Boston. 



Neck Pine. Large, with a slender neck ; color light red 

 flesh nearly white, rather acid, of fine flavor. Very pro 

 ductive, early, — much cultivated at Cincinnati.
