SMALL FKUIT CULTURIST. 



firm flesh of this yariety make it an excellent fruit for 

 shipping, as it is not likely to become bruised during 

 transit. Originated with Mr. Oscar Felton, from seed 

 of the Lady Finger. Figure 43 — from American Agri- 

 culturist/' 1880. 



Scotch Runner. — Small; oval; bright scarlet; good 

 flavor. Largely cultivated for market in Xew Jersey, but 

 should have been discarded long ago, and 

 its place filled by larger and better varie- 

 ties. Pistillate. Figure 44 shows one 

 of the berries of full size. 



Scott's Seedling", {Scarlet Painner,) — 

 Medium ; elongated-conical ; bright light 

 scarlet, very handsome ; sweet, rather dry, 

 not high flavored, but good ; plants moder- 

 ately vigorous and productive. An old 

 Fig. 44!^scoTCH variety, but little cultivated at present ; 



RUNNER. Q-^g ^j^g most beautiful berries 



we possess. Eequires good culture, and with it will 

 yield an abundant crop. Originated about twenty years 

 ago with J. Scott, of Brighton, Mass. 



Seth Boyden. {Boydovs Xo, 30. ) — A^ery large ; irregu- 

 lar-conical, with long neck ; dull crimson ; flesh firm, 

 rather dry, but sweet and of good flavor ; plant extra 

 strong and vigorous, and cjuite prolific when grown in 

 hills, but otherwise unproductive. This is one of the best 

 market varieties in cultivation, and under good care and 

 in rich soils, berries of immense size are readily produced. 

 Originated w^ith the late Seth Boyden, of Newark, J., 

 and disseminated by him as No. 30 of his seedlings, but 

 since his death, by common consent, it has been given 

 the name of the originator. 



Sharpless. — This is another mammoth variety, and a 

 genuine surprise to Strawberry growers generally, because 

 it has proved to be all that was claimed for it at the time
