which is usually conical in the former, and more globose in 

 the latter. The Alpines produce fruit in the autumn, which

ALPINE WITHOUT RUNNERS. 



Bush Alpine. 



The fruit, leaves, and mode of bearing, are those of an 

 Alpine Strawberry ; it differs only in not throwing out run- 

 ners, growing in small clumps : to propagate them, the roots 

 must be divided. This is a very prolific sort, and for small 

 gardens preferable to the other kinds. I understand that 

 this sort was introduced here by the late Mr. Parmentier, 

 of the Horticultural Gardens at Brooklyn. Jim. Ed. 



3. RED WOOD. Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 92.

CLASS II. Black Strawberries. 



This is not a numerous class, the Old Black Strawberry 

 being the type, and the remainder derived from its seeds, 

 either impregnated by itself or by others. Their character 

 is to have the leaves rugose, pale green, and small ; the fruit 

 middle-sized, conical, with a neck, very dark-coloured when 

 ripe ; the seeds slightly embedded ; the flavour very rich, 

 and highly perfumed. Hort. Trans. Vol. vi. p. 148.
