STRAWBERRIES. 755 



EUBY. Fruit, large ; roundish, dark red. Flesh, pale red, soft 

 and woolly, with a large core and inferior flavour. 



Scarlet Pine. See Old Pine. 



SCARLET PINE. Fruit, about medium size ; conical. Seeds, 

 numerous and prominent. Skin, deep scarlet. Flesh, pinky white, 

 .solid, and juicy, with an exquisite brisk flavour. 



Raised by Dr. Roden. It bears carriage well to a distance, and 

 stands wet weather better than varieties usually do. 



Seedling Eliza. See Ewers' 's Eliza. 



SIR CHARLES NAPIER. Fruit, very large ; ovate, flattened, and 

 wedge-shaped. Seeds, not deeply imbedded. Skin, shining, of a fine 

 bright, pale scarlet colour. Flesh, white, firm, and solid, briskly acid, 

 and not highly flavoured. 



This is a fine handsome strawberry, well adapted for forcing, and for 

 arly market purposes. It is the most extensively grown of any by the 

 London market gardeners. The plant is remarkably tender, perhaps 

 more so than any other variety. 



SIR HARRY. Fruit, very large ; roundish, irregular, frequently 

 cockscomb-shaped. Seeds, large, and deeply imbedded. Skin, dark 

 crimson, becoming almost black when fully ripe. Flesh, dark red, not 

 very firm, but tender, very juicy, and richly flavoured. 



This variety has been much confounded with Keens's Seedling. The 

 habit of the plant is the same, and the fruit is larger and coarser. It is 

 jnuch cultivated for market purposes. 



SIR JOHN FALSTAFF. Fruit, mostly very large and handsome ; 

 frequently conical, and, when very large, slightly flattened in shape, but 

 never cockscombed. Colour, bright red, with a tinge of vermilion. 

 Seeds, thickly dispersed and slightly depressed. Flesh, white, solid, and 

 juicy, with a fine vinous flavour. Calyx, small for so large a fruit, and 

 seldom reflexed. 



On account of its beauty and immense cropping qualities this will be 

 a splendid sort for exhibition and market purposes. It was raised by 

 Dr. Roden. 



SIR JOSEPH PAXTON. Fruit, large ; roundish, even and regular 

 in its outline. Skin, bright shining crimson. Seeds, prominent. 

 Flesh, salmon-coloured, firm, rich, and highly flavoured. 



A first-rate early fruit. The plant is hardy, very fertile, and 

 forces well. This is one of the largest and is probably the handsomest 

 strawberry in cultivation. 



SIR WALTER SCOTT. Fruit, medium sized ; conical, and 

 pointed. Seeds, prominent. Skin, deep red. Flesh, pale, firm, and 

 inferior in flavour. 



This is in every respect a coarse and inferior variety.
