We present as a frontispiece this month a plate of Strawberries, old and rather late. Of most of those figured little need be said; some have already found their place among the rejected. Prince's Imperial Scarlet is a good sized, obtuse, cone-shaped berry, firm fleshed, juicy, and pleasant flavored. Jessie Bead is of good size, cone-shaped, rather soft, medium flavor. Ladies' Pine is of medium size, conical, sweet, and very high flavored; a good variety for the garden. Read's Black Pine is of good size, conical, and well flavored. Delices d'Automne is of fair size, conical, high flavor, but unfitted for our climate. Haarlem Orange is not worth growing. Kitley's Goliath is a large coxcomb variety, but unfitted for our climate. McAvoy's Extra Red is of good size, roundish, pretty, but quite acid; it is, however, as we stated several years ago, one of the best berries for preserving. Compte de Flandre is a large cone-shaped berry of good flavor, but does not do very well here. Bead's No. 1 is a good sized berry, conical, flattened at apex, and of good flavor.
