86 NOTES ON STEAWBEERIES. 



hairy, the hairs adpressed; leaflets roundish, obovate, rather 

 widely serrated. 



Omer Pacha.— See Eliza. 



Prince of Wales {Cuthill).—Fmit middle-sized, conical, 

 bright red ; flesh firm, but rather acid. Leafstalks very hairy, 

 the hairs spreading liorizontally; leaflets oval or obovate, pale 

 green, glaucous beneath. An extraordinary bearer, ripening late. 



Princess Royal of England {Cuthiliy — Frmt middle-sized, 

 conical or roundish ovate, with a neck, red next the sun, pale 

 red where shaded; seeds prominent; flesh pale red, whitish 

 near the centre, tolerably rich, with an agreeable aroma. Leaf- 

 stalks hairy, the hairs spreading or horizontal; leaflets rather 

 small, obovate, sharply serrated. An abundant bearer, and 

 worthy of general cultivation. 



Rnby (mcholson).— Fruit large, roundish, dark red; flesh 

 pale, soft, with a large core. Leafstalks hairy, the hairs adpressed ; 

 leaflets oval, sharply serrated. The flavour of this proved bad. 



Sir Walter Scott. — Fruit large, oblong, pointed, deep red, 

 with prominent seeds ; flesh pale, firm, but its quality was not 

 approved. The plant is of dwarf, robust habit. Leafstalks very 

 hairy; leaflets roundish or roundish obovate, widely but not 

 deeply serrated. 



Stirling Castle Pine— Fruit large, ovate, dark red ; flesh pale 

 red, firm, but of second-rate quality. Leafstalks rough and like- 

 wise hairy, becoming brownish-red when old, resembling in these 

 respects the old Hudson's Bay Strawberry, from which it seems 

 to have been bred ; leaflets obovate. 



Triomphe.— This so much resembles the Hudson's Bay, as to 

 lead to the conclusion, that it is probably a seedling from it. Its 

 aroma somewhat resembles that of the Vicomtesse H&icart de 

 Thury, but the latter is in every respect superior to it. 



Vicomtesse Hericart de Thury [Jamin).- Fruit middle-sized 

 or large, conical, deep scarlet; seeds bright yellow, slightly im- 

 bedded; flesh pale red, with scarely any core; flavour brisk, 

 rich, and sweet. Kipens early, or about the same time as Eeeiis 

 Seedling. Leafstalks moderately tall, hairy, the hairs disposed 

 horizontally, but on the scapes and runners they are adpressed ; 

 leaflets obovate, obtusely serrated, smooth above, somewhat hairy 

 beneath. The plant is hardy, a free grower, and a very abundant 

 bearer. The Marqnise de la Tour Manbourg, and the Ducliesse 

 de Trevise, proved to be the same as this, in the Garden of the 

 Society.
