37. 



large and luxuriant, a remarkable variety, very valu- 

 able for the size and beauty of its fruit, and for its 

 other qualities. This and the other variety referred 

 to are of larger average size thanllovey's Seedling. . 



Iowa, H, early, large, broad rounded, light orange scar- 

 let, peculiar color, beautiful, inferior flavor, produc- 

 tive. It is a distinct and peculiar species, native of 

 our Western prairies, ana worthy of culture ; but sev- 

 eral new seedlings from it, comprised in this Catalogue 

 far surpass the parent in size and flavor 



38. Jenney's Seedling, P, late, secondary size, rounded or obo- 

 vate, crimson, sprightly flavor, but too acid until fully 

 ripe, then of fair flavor, tolerably productive. It has 

 been much overated, and ought in fact to be rejected 

 when there are so many superior to it 



39. Jeany Lind, H, a new variety originated by Mr. Isaac Fay, 



early, large, conical, glossy crimson, seeds imbedded, 

 fine flavor, firm, productive for its sex 



40. Large Early Scarlet, or Early Virginia, II, is only of mo- 



derate size, conical, light scarlet, pleasant flavor, and 

 produces one-third to one-half as large a crop as the 

 Pistillate varieties. Its only value has been its pre- 

 cocity, and in that it is now quite equaled by others, 

 which are greatly superior to it in size and produc- 

 tiveness. Even as a fertilizer its blossoms expand too 

 early for any but the earliest varieties. We have a 

 true Pistillate variety precisely similar in the fruit 

 but more productive 



41. 



^Le Baron, H, early, very large, obtuse cone, dark scar- 

 let, not showy, sweet, rich, melting, highest flavor of 

 all the largest varieties, very productive for one of 

 its sex, and continues long in bearing, plant vigorous; 

 a seedling of the old Swainstone 



42. *Long Scarlet, P, oblong with a neck, very fine flavor, 

 productive 



43. Longworth's Prolific, or Sclineiclie's Hermaphrodite, H, 



early, large, rounded, dark scarlet, fine flavor, sweet 

 but not as sweet as McAvoy's Supei'ior, and only two- 

 thirds its size, but has some advantage in earliness, 

 productive for its sex, but not so much so as the Pri- 

 mate and some others ; plant of weaker growth than 

 the other Cincinnati varieties, with pale green foliage, 

 by which it is readily distinguished. The leaves are 

 thin and very subject to be burned by the sun, which 

 is a great objection
