ous, hardy, and productive. Belongs to the Iowa class. 
Larce EARLY ScarLer. (Syn. Early Virginia.) Medium, 
oval, regular, bright scarlet; flesh tender, rich, sweet, and

be confounded with the New Formosa of Dr. Nicaise, — Sai- 
ter’s, Loudon’s, Weymouth.) WRoundish, depressed, light red, 
pale on the under side; flesh greenish, no core, delicious flavor, 
but perhaps inferior to the Prolific Hautbois. Seeds imbedded.

* Late ProuiFic (Burr). Good size, rich, and excellent. Vines 
vigorous and hardy. Extremely late. Pistillate. ‘ 
LaurRELLA. According to Downing, fruit large, broadly conical, 
scarlet; seeds yellowish brown; flesh soft, pink, acid; accord-

flavored. Not productive, but vigorous and hardy. 
Leeps’s Proxiric. Medium, light scarlet. - 
Lennic’s WHITE (Lennig). (Syn. White Pine-apple, Albion 
White, Albino, White Albany.) Often incorrectly spelled Len- 
nizgs. An American variety, and the best of all white straw- 
berries. Thought by some inferior in flavor to Bicton Pine; 
but the latter cannot compare in vigor or productiveness with 
Lennig’s, which, if kept in rows with the runners clipped, gives 
avery goodicrop. Fruit medium to large, roundish, conical, 
very obtuse or compressed, rosy on the sunny side, pure white 
on the other. Seeds conspicuous; flesh melting, delicious, and 
pine-apple flavor. Said tobe a seedling of the Wilson, but this 
seems very improbable.
