532 THE STRAWBERRY. 



21. MYATT'S ELIZA. 



One of the new sorts, second-rate in flavour, but hardy, though 

 the plants make few runners. Fruit large, handsome and juicy. 



22. PRINCE ALBERT. 



A very large and showy new English variety and a good 

 bearer, but of secona rate flavour as compared with Ross' Phoe- 

 nix or Hovey's Seedling. Fruit of the largest size, ovate, rich 

 scarlet ; flesh rather soft and not high flavoured. 



23. OLD PINE, OR CAROLINA. Thomp. 



Pine Apple. 



Carolina. 



Old Scarlet Pine. 



Old Carolina. 

 Blood Pine. 

 Grandiflora. 



The Old Pine or Carolina Strawberry is believed to have 

 been carried from Carolina to England many years ago, and 

 nearly all this class of strawberries have been directly or indi- 

 rectly raised from it. It is one of the very richest flavoured 

 sorts. Still, it is only rarely seen in our gardens, as it requires 

 a rich soil and a considerable degree of care to get crops of 

 fruit. 



Fruit large, conical, with a longish neck, sometimes cocks- 

 comb shaped ; uniform bright scarlet, grains slightly imbedded ; 

 flesh solid, juicy, and very rich in flavour. Ripens at the mid- 

 die of the season.
