 even. Flesh, scarlet, firm, and solid throughout, with a rich vinous 

 flavour, similar to British Queen, with a little more acid.

 preserving. 



DOCTOR HOGG. Fruit, very large; cockscomb-shaped. Skin, 

 pale red. Flesh, pale throughout, sweet, and with a very rich flavour, 

 which remains long on the palate. 



This is of the same class as British Queen, and not distinguishable 

 from well-grown examples of that variety, except that it colours and 

 ripens more thoroughly to the point. It ripens later than British 

 Queen, and about the same time as Elton. The plant is much hardier, 

 a more abundant bearer, has the growth of British Queen, but is more 

 healthy and robust, and retains the foliage better during winter. 



It was raised by Mr. Samuel Bradley, the skilful gardener at Elton Manor, near 

 Nottingham. 



Doubleday's No. 2. See Crimson Queen. 

 Downton. See Downton Pine. 



DOWNTON PINE (Downton). Fruit, medium sized; conical, 

 with an even surface. Seeds, depressed. Skin, deep scarlet. Flesh, 

 scarlet, firm, and solid throughout, briskly and richly flavoured.
