Dundee.
Scotch. Pistillate ; leaves light green, foot and fruit-stalks long, sup-
poning the clusters of fruit clear of the ground. Fruit medium to large,
roundish oval, very uniform, hght.pale clear scarlet; flesh firm, rich, acid,
high flavor ; very productive, extremely valuable as market berry, its pe-
riod of ripening being from five to ten days after Willey or Hudson.
Yines very hardy.
DUCHESSE DK TrEYISE.
A variety which as yet we do not know of having been fruited in this
country. Mr. R. Thompson, of the London Horticultural Society, thus
describes it: Presented to the Society by M. Jamin, Bourg-la-Eeine, near
Paris, September 6, 1851. Fruit middle-<ized, ovate, deep red ; seeds
small, rather deeply embedded ; flesh pale red, juicy, with a bri?k» rich
flavor; leaves large, roundish, widely and rather obtusely serrated ; leaf-
stalks moderately tall, very hairy, the hairs on these spreading horizon-
tally, but those on the scapes and runners are adpressed. Appears to be
a good bearer.
Duke of Kent.
Duke of Kent's Scarlet. | Austrian Scarlet,

CiiUivated only ty the curious. Small, roundish, whitish green.
Hovey's Seedling.
American Pistillate. Flowers small ; vines vigorous ; leaves broad,
roundish, distinct from all other varieties; leaf and fruit-stalks t^hort and
stout. Fruit very large, roundish ovate, slightly conical, with a short
neck ; color, when fully exposed to the sun, dark rich shining red ; seeds
dark ; Hesh scarlet, firm, bears carriage well, but is deficient in richness of
flavor. In rich, deep, loamy soils, and supphed with a good impregnator,
this variety will give immense crops of large fine fruit. In common
or sandy soils it perfects only a few large berries. We think " McAvoy's
Superior" will entirely supersede it. The " Methven Scarlet" has been
largely disseminated in Illinois and iarther west States as Hovey's Seed-
ling. Newly planted beds require a covering of litter in winter.
Hudson.
Hudson's Bay, I Late Scarlet,
Old Hud^ion, I American Scarlet.
Pistillate. More extensively cultivated than any other variety : its
hardihood and late period of maturity, together with its fine rich acid
flavor, so valuable for preserving, will continr ? for years to bring it abun-
dant in the markets of our large cities. In the rich clay lands around
Cincinnati it grows to such size as frequently to have been mistaken for
Hovey's. It must, however, gradually give place to such varieties as
Longworth's Prolific, Western Queen, &c. Fruit above medium, ovate,
often with a neck ; seeds deeply imbedded ; color rich dark glossy red ;
flesh firm, of a high, brisk, acid flavor. Should be permitted to hang until
fully matured. Season rather late.
Hooper's Seedling.
English. Staminate. Fruit medium, conical, dark rich red, good flavor,
productive. Late.
Iowa Male.
American. Staminate. Fruit medium, round conical ; seeds deeply
imbedded ; color pale red ; core ovate conical, marked with a greenish
line ; flesh yellow ; flavor delicate ; moderate bearer.
Jenny Lind.
Staminate. Size rather large; form conical, perfect, generally with
short neck; seeds moderately sunk in oval cavities; color bright light
scarlet ; flesh white, nearly solid, heavy, tender and juicy flavor, pleasant
sub-acid, and under favorable circumstiinces highly perfumed. Early,
ripenino- with the Early Virginia, but more prohfic Quality " very
good." " (Wilder, MS.)
5:60 THE STEAWBERRY.
Large Earlv Scarlet.
Early Virginia.
American. HerTnaplirodite. lu the Eastern States this is regarded aa
the best early berry. West, it has never sustained such character. Its
chief value may be found as an impregnator of pistillate kinds. Fruit
medium, roundi.-h ovate, bright scarlet; seeds deeply imbedded ; flesh ten-
*â– â– r, rich, slightly acid t^avor. Season, very early.
Metiiven Scarlet.
T\I(Mhven Casile,

Scotch. 'Pistillate. Strong grower. Fruit large, roundish or cock's-
comb-shaped ; seed slightly imbedded ; color dull scarlet ; flesh coarse,
open texture ; core large and hollow ; flavor very indifferent. It some-
times produces large crops, ripening some four or five days after the
height of strawberry season.
Montevideo Pine.
American. Hermaphrodite. Fol'age large and vigorous ; flowers very
large ; fruit large, conical, of a pine-apple flavor, ripening late. (W. R. P.

Monroe Scarlet.
American. Pistillate. Large, roundish, light scarlet, good, very pro-
lific. (E. and B.)
McAvoy's No. 1.
McAVOY'S extra RED.
American. Pistillate. Two varieties originated at same time and place
as " McAvoy's Superior." They are yet comparatively untested, but with
exception of quality, the same description will answer for both ; large,
roundish, scarlet; seed deeply imbedded ; flesh stained with red; flavor
agreeable, the extra red, sub-acid.
Moyamensing.
American. Pistillate. Foliage large, crenate serratures. Fruit large,
roundish conical, deep crimson ; seed crimson, set in rather deep depres-
sions, with rounded intervals ; flesh red, flavor very fine. (Trans. Penn.

Magnifique.
American. Pistillate. Very large, rounded, orange scarlet, pleasant
flavor, productive. (W. R. P. in Hort.)
Necked Pine.

English. Fruit medium, oval, ruby red, fine flavor, prolific. (Hov. Mag.)
Rival Hudson.
Burr's Rival Hudson.
American. Pistillate. Fruit large, bright scarlet ; flesh red, firm, sub-
acid, very productive. Originated same time as " Burr's New Pine," and
is much like " Hudson," its parent.
Red Alpine.
Stafford's Washington A1 pint-, | Newland's Mammoth.
Flowers perfect. Fruit small, conioal, bright scarlet, delicate, peculiar
fliivor. Its principal value in our climate is tlie ripening gradually a long
time. An autumnal crop may be procured by destroying the early blos-
soms. The ''White Alpine" varies only in the color of its fruit.

SOUTHBOROUGH.
Southborough Seedling, | Marshall's Seedling.
EnglisL Pistillate. Fruit medium, ovate, conical, sometimes pointed,
rich deep scarlet; seeds small, deeply imbedded, mild rich flavor, firm
flesh, bearing carriage well. We have fruited this several years in con-
nection with -'Large Early Scarlet," (to which it is a good mate,) and
found it more productive, and ripening equally early in season. Vines
hardy; fruit and foot-stalks short.
SwAiNSTONE Seedling.
English. Staminate. Fruit large ovate, light crimson, firm fleshed,
rich, dehcious flavor. Ripens a long time, but is an uncertain bearer.
Salter's Versaillaise.
English. iSTew. Not yet, we think, here introduced. We copy de-
scription of Mr. R. Thompson, of London Hort. Society :
Presented to the Society by Mr. John Salter, Nurseryman, Hammer-
smith, Oct. 24, 185L Fruit large, ovate, sometimes flattened or cock's-
comb-shaped, dark red ; seeds rather deeply embedded; flesh pale, juicy,
and rich ; leaves middle-sized, roundish oval, widely serrated ; leaf-stalks,
scapes and runners hairy, the hairs spreading almost horizontally. A
good bearer.
Orange Prolific.
American. Hermaphrodite. Fruit large, orange scarlet, acid, pro-
ductive, late. (E. &B.)
White Alpine.
Yaries from Red Alpine only in the color of its fruit.
Victoria.
Hermaphrodite, sometimes pistillate. Fruit medium to large, round,
conical, rich scarlet; flesh firm, rich, high, slightly acid flavor. Season
with Hudson and Willey. Some six years since we received this variety,
but have never been able to find it described, or to recognize it as any
variety under different name. The vines are hardy and usually prolific.
Willey.
Wiley.
American. Pistillate. Undoubtedly a seedling from Hudson, as plants
taken from the bed of Mrs. Willey, originally Hudson, (from whence its
UNWORTHY OF CULTIVATION. 4G3
name,) have some been recognized as Hudson, while others bear the cha-
racter allied to, but yet var'ied. Fruit medium to large, ovate, conical,
i-ounded, rarelv inclining to neck, rich, dark, glossy red; flesh firm, juicy,
hi'^h acid flavor. Hangs long, and should be permitted so to do; vnie3
veiy hardy, vigorous, require severe thinning, or the fruit is materially
lessened in size.
Unique Scarlet.
American. Hermaphrodite. Large, light scarlet, sweet, rich, dehcious
Havor, moderate bearer.
White Bush Alpine.
This and Red Bush Alpine difier from the Alpine previously described,
only in not forming runners ; but, growing in neat, com.pact bunche?, are
used by many persons for edging beds in kitchen gardens. Bearnig
throughout the entire season renders it desirable. They are propagated
by dividing the roots early in spring. Andrew Parmentier, of Brooklyn,
N. Y., first introduced the Bush Alpines to this country.
Walker's Seedling.
American. Staminate. Fruit medium size, roundish conical, very dark
crimson ; seed moderately sunk ; flesh not quite solid, deeply stained with

APPENDIX
Since the manuscript of the foregohig pages was placed in hands
of the printer, there have been several new fruits introduced and
described, in the Horticultural Journals and Societies' Transactions ;
these we have thought best to add in an appendix. There have also
been some few omissions, consequent on the author not being at hand
to correct the proofs until they were stereotyped ; these also we
have thought best to insert here.
