STRAWBERRY, 



113 



Kimberley Pine. [Kimherley) — Large, irregular, oval 



or flattened, bright crimson ; seeds very prominent ; flesh 

 very solid, red, juicy and brisk; productive, and late in 

 ripening. 



La Constante. {Be Jojighe,) — Large, regular, conical, 

 bright crimson, fine flavor ; flesh firm ; ripens late. One 

 of the most beautiful Strawberries known. The plant is 

 a dwarf grower, and requires a moist, rich soil, and even 

 under the highest culture it is not very productive. 



La Sultanne. {De Jojighe.) — Large, conical, bright 

 deep scarlet, of excellent flavor, but the plant a poor 

 grower, and unproductive. 



Lucida Perfecta. (G^^oecfe)— Said to be a cross be- 

 tween the British Queen and the Fragaria lucida of Cal- 

 ifornia. Large, round, bright salmon color ; flesh solid, 

 Bweet and rich. It is worthless with me, but it is said to 

 do well in some localities. 



Lorenz Boothi {De Jonghe) — Large, oval, bright 

 glossy red ; flesh dark crimson, solid, sweet, but sprightly ; 

 hardy. 



Leon de Saint Laumer, {Dupuy Jamm.)—L^Y^Q, 

 conical, bright pale scarlet.; flesh carmine, rich, juicy and 

 Bweet ; moderately prolific. 



LucaSi {De Jonghe.) — Large, roundish, oval, glossy 

 crimson; flesh hard, fii'm and crisp; good flavor, and a 

 very good grower. 



Marguerite, {Le Breton,) — ^Very large, long, conical, 

 pale scarlet, sweet, but rather insipid. With extra culti 

 vation it is quite productive, but the j)lant is naturally 

 feeble. A very fine show finiit. ^ 



Napoleon IIL — Fruit large, of a brilliant crimson; 

 flesh firm, juicy ; plant vigorous. The Austin has been 

 Bent out from several establishments in this country under 

 this name.
