NUTS AND FILBEKTS. 429 



Nut, large, roundish ovate ; shell, pale brown, striated with dark 

 brown lines, thin, very nearly as much so as the Cosford ; kernel, 

 full and of excellent flavour. 



This is a fine nut, and worthy of universal cultivation. 



It was raised by Mr. Richard Webb, of Calcot. near Reading, and named as a 

 compliment to Sir Humphrey Davy.

Duchess of Edinburgh. See Davinna. 



DUKE OF EDINBURGH (Princess Royal). Husk, as long and 

 generally longer than the nut ; finely downy, coarsely and not deeply 

 fringed ; seven-eighths of an inch wide, and an inch and a half high. 

 Nut, large, ovate-oblong ; shell, dark brown, and faintly striated with 

 darker brown, not so thin as that of Daviana ; kernel, plump and 

 full, with an excellent flavour. 



It was awarded a first-class certificate by the Royal Horticultural Society, 

 October 9th, 1883. 



Dwarf Prolific. See Pearson's Prolific. 



EUGENIE. Husk, finely downy, the length of the nut, and rather 

 deeply cut. Nut, large, an inch and two-tenths long and eight-tenths 

 wide, oblong ; shell, bright brown, finely striated with darker brown 

 lines, thin and easily broken ; kernel, full and plump, of excellent 

 flavour, and when kept has a rich flavour. 



Raised by Mr. Richard Webb, of Calcot, near Reading. It has a good deal of 

 resemblance to the Lambert Filbert ; but the husk is shorter and the shell 

 thinner.

FRIZZLED HAZEL (Cori/lu* binniatus). Husk, very small, cut 

 to the very base, and much reflexed. Nut, quite exposed, small, short, 

 somewhat flattened, but of even regular form, of a pale grey colour ; 

 shell, very thick and hard. Grows in clusters of from three to five. 

 Plant of slonder growth ; leaves deeply cut or laciniated ; fruits freely. 



This appears to be merely a cut-leaved variety of the ordinary Hazel. 

 Hort. 



FRIZZLED FILBERT (Cape Xut ; Frizzled Nut). Husk, hairy, 

 as long again as the nut ; spreading at the mouth ; deeply cut, so 

 much so as to give rise to its name of Frizzled. Nut, oblong, an 

 inch to an inch and a half long, flattened ; shell, thick ; kernel, full and 

 well-flavoured. 



This is rather a late variety. The tree is an excellent bearer, and 

 the nuts are produced in clusters.
