all the largest varieties, very productive for one of 

 its sexuality, and continues long in bearing, very 

 vigorous ; a seedling of the old Swainstone 



42. 



Ladies' Pine, P, medium size, perfectly round, beautiful 

 light scarlet, very sweet, highest and most exquisite 

 flavor, productive; foliage dark green, as if varnish 

 ed, vigorous growth, with large fruit stems. This 

 most estimable fruit will be deemed indispensable by 

 every amateur who once tastes it , 



48. 



LongWOrth'S Prolific, H, early, large, rounded, scarlet, 

 fine flavor, sweet, but not as sweet as McAvoy's Su- 

 perior, and only two thirds its size, but has some 

 advantage in earliness and color, and many berries 

 ripen together. It is a valuahle family fruit, pro- 

 ductive for its sex, but not equally so wiih the 

 Primate; foliage pale green, by which it is readily 

 distinguished. The leaves are very subject to be 

 burned by the sun

48. EcAvoy's A'o. 1, P, very large, roundish, bright light 

 scarlet, very showy, very productive, acid, moder- 

 ately sweet, fair but not high flavor', ripens late, 

 vigorous foliage and growth. A seedling of the Iowa 

 MeAm&y*a Extra Red we reject ; it is huge and 

 fsliowy, but is the sourest and most worthless of all 

 Strawberries. It is astonishing that Mr. Longworth 

 should have so perverted his judgment as to recom- 

 mend it. In ''Hooper's Western Fruit Book," re cent- 

 ly put dished at Cincinnati, where these varieties 

 originated, he has confused the two varieties and 

 described them under one head, whereas there are 

 no two kinds that are more dissimilar. Can it be 

 that, Longworth committed the same blunder?
