lar, sweet, and rich; too soft and dark colored for market, but

Hovey’s Seepiine (Hovey). (Syn. Germantown, Young's

a short neck; never, or very seldom cockscombed; dark 
shining red; paler when grown in the shade; seeds dark, im- 
bedded; flesh scarlet, firm, nearly solid, high flavored, and deli- 
cious. Continues long in bearing. Vines very vigorous, hardy, 
making many runners; roots fine. Prefers a strong, rich soil; 
if clayey, better still. Pistillate, and requiring a good fertilizer 
in the proportion of one staminate, plant to eight or ten Hov- 
ey’s. A standard market variety. Raised by C. M. Hovey 
from a cross either of the Methven Scarlet with Keens’s Seed- 
ling, or of the Mulberry with Keens’s Seedling. First fruited 
in 1835. A splendid strawberry, whose introduction revolution- 
ized strawberry culture in this country, and, being a pistillate, 
caused more discussion than any other new fruit ever intro- 
duced. The parent of many valuable seedlings, among which. 
the President Wilder outdoes all that have gone before. | Fig.
