49. McATOy's Superior, P, very large, averaging full as large 

 as the berries of Hovey's seedling, rounded, glossy 

 crimson, of a good color in the medium stage, but 

 becomes, when full ripe, rather dark for a market 

 fruit, very juicy, good flavor, and very productive. 

 This is a highly valuable family fruit, but it will not 

 do for the market, as it is tender and bruises easily, 

 when the juice runs out, and it speedily decays, and 

 it is therefore imsuited to loDg carriage. This may be 

 deemed a rather early variety, but continues a long 

 succession of fruit, and in strong soil it will often 

 throw up a succession of scapes, that bloom at the 

 period the first crop is ripening. The foliage is 

 often afi'ected and burned by extreme summer heat, 

 and the plants frequently die out from this cause, or 

 from the exhaustion of an abundant crop. They 

 should be renewed every second year. JfcAvoy's Fx- 

 tra Red, we reject, it being the sourest and most worth- 

 less of all Strawberries

 resembling Hovey's seedling in appearance, bttt not 

 so large, though of better color and flavor, very pro-

 foliage of the j^lant resemble Hovey's seedling, which 

 must have been its parent
