STRAWBERRIES. 757 



nent. Flesh, very firm and solid, with a brisk rich flavour, somewhat 

 resembling the Hautbois. A rich and excellent strawberry. 



Raised by Mr. Laxton, of Stamford, between La Constante and Sir C. Napier. 



TROLLOPE'S VICTORIA. Fruit, very large ; roundish ovate, 

 even and regular in its outline. Skin, light crimson. Flesh, pale 

 scarlet, tender, juicy, sweet, and richly flavoured. 



This is a good early strawberry, and an excellent bearer. 



UNZER FRITZ. Fruit, large ; ovate, regularly and handsomely 

 shaped. Seeds, slightly imbedded. Skin, bright, glossy crimson. 

 Flesh, crimson under the skin, and white at the centre ; solid, very 

 juicy, sweet, and richly flavoured. 



A useful late variety ; plant robust, and a good bearer. 



VICOMTESSE HERICART DE THURY (Duchesse de Trevise ; 

 J/Vmyjfise' de la Tour Mauboury ; Garibaldi). Fruit, above medium 

 size ; conical, with an even surface. Skin, deep scarlet, becoming deep 

 red as it ripens. Seeds, yellow, slightly imbedded. Flesh, pale red 

 throughout, firm and solid, brisk, sweet, and richly flavoured. 



This is an extraordinarily abundant bearer, and a valuable variety for 

 general cultivation. In forcing it requires less light than most other 

 varieties. 



The foliage is almost evergreen, and the plants remain long in the 

 same ground. 



Virgin Queen. See Bicton Pine. 



WALTHAM SEEDLING. Fruit, large ; conical, and inclining to 

 cockscomb-shape, very similar in general appearance to Sir Charles 

 Napier. The colour is somewhat darker than Sir Charles, nearly a 

 deep red. Seeds, rather prominent. Flesh, firm, juicy, rich, and with 

 a slight pine flavour. 



A decided improvement upon Sir Charles Napier as to quality of 

 fruit, &c. Raised by Mr. William Paul, Waltham Cross, from a cross 

 between Crimson Queen and Sir Charles Napier. It has the firm con- 

 sistence of La Constante, and bears carriage well, and it remains in 

 good condition long after being gathered. 



WONDERFUL (Jeyes's Wonderful; Hyatt's Prolific). Fruit, large ; 

 conical, frequently cockscomb-shaped, and fingered. Skin, pale red, 

 and whitish at the apex. Seeds, numerous and prominent. Flesh, 

 white, tender, melting, juicy, and sweet, briskly flavoured, and with a 

 fine aroma. 



A very excellent fruit, which forces well. 



VICTORY OF BATH. Fruit, large and ovate, sometimes irregular 

 in its outline. Skin, bright red. Flesh, white, firm and juicy, with a 

 rich flavour.
