748 THE FRUIT MANUAL. 



HUNDRED-FOLD. A very early variety, raised by Dr. Roden. It 

 is of medium size, bright red colour, and thickly studded with rather 

 prominent seeds. Flesh, solid, pale red throughout, juicy, with a 

 brisk refreshing flavour, and when fully ripe it has a trace of that of 

 the Hautbois. 



INGRAM'S PRINCE ALFRED. Fruit, of large size ; ovate. Skin, 

 dark red. Seeds, prominent. Flesh, with a rosy tint, juicy, sugary, 

 and richly flavoured. 



An excellent and prolific strawberry. 



INGRAM'S PRINCE ARTHUR. Fruit, medium sized; conical, 

 even, and regular in shape, with a glossy neck. Seeds, not very 

 numerous, nor deeply imbedded. Skin, of a brilliant scarlet, like Sir 

 Charles Napier, paler at the tip. Flesh, white, solid, very juicy, brisk, 

 and with a rich pine flavour. 



A first-rate variety, an abundant bearer, and forces well. 



INGRAM'S PRINCE OF WALES. Fruit, very large ; roundish, 

 flattened and wedge-shaped, the smaller fruit ovate. Seeds, not 

 deeply imbedded. Skin, deep crimson, becoming darker as it ripens. 

 Flesh, pale red, very firm and solid, brisk, sweet, and richly flavoured. 



An excellent variety, and admirably adapted for forcing, when it 

 produces large and richly flavoured fruit, and bears abundantly. 



JAMES VEITCH. Fruit, large, roundish, handsome in shape. 

 Seeds, yellow, very prominent. Skin, bright red. Flesh, firm, rich, 

 very juicy and refreshing. 



A good second early or rather mid-season variety. The plant is 

 robust and compact in growth, with dark glossy green foliage. 



Jeyes's Wonderful. See Wonderful. 



JOHN POWELL. Fruit, above medium size ; long ovate, and with 

 a long shining neck. Skin, bright shining red. Seeds, small, not 

 deeply imbedded. Flesh, white, with an occasional rosy tinge, firm, 

 very juicy, sugary, and richly pine-flavoured. 



A very excellent and prolific variety. 



KEENS'S SEEDLING. Fruit, large ; ovate, sometimes inclining to 

 cockscomb -shape. Seeds, not deeply imbedded. Skin, dark crimson, 

 becoming very dark when highly ripened. Flesh, scarlet, firm and 

 solid, juicy, brisk, and richly flavoured. 



An old and well-established variety, which, for many purposes, has 

 not yet been surpassed. It forces exceedingly well, and is much used 

 for that purpose, many preferring the flavour of this strawberry to that 

 of any other. When planted out it succeeds best from young plants, 

 the plantations requiring to be renewed every second year. 



It was raised by Mr. Michael Keens, a market gardener at Isleworth, near 

 London.
