Fig.37.— GOLDEN SEEDED. 



Golden Seeded, — Medium to large, bluntly-conical, 

 sometimes flattened ; dark crimson, with prominent yel- 

 low seeds ; sweet and rich ; early, but succeeds only in a 

 few localities and soils. It is prob- 

 ably a seedling of a foreign variety. 

 Originated in Canada with Mr. Eead. 

 Figure 37 shows the form and size 

 of a medium sized specimen. 



Great American. — Extra large, 

 irregularly oval ; dark crimson ; 

 flesh moderately firm, second-rate m 

 flavor, but under high culture and 

 in the originator's gTOunds it has 

 yielded some of the largest berries 

 ever seen in this country. Although 

 this variety caused considerable ex- 

 citement among strawberry growers when first exhibited, 

 it was soon discovered that it required extra culture to 

 produce extra sized berries. It has fallen far short of 

 what was expected of it when it was first introduced. 

 Originated with Mr. F. W. Durand.

 and j)roductive. Originated 

 with Seth Boyden, Xewark, IS".
