12. White dlfiine. This possesses the same properties as 

 the preceding, except as respects colour. 



13. Keen's Large. This is much celebrated ; foliage and 

 runners vigorous ; fruit large, and fine. 



14. Keen's Imperial. One of the largest and most noted 

 English varieties ; fruit fine flavoured, and well worthy of 

 cultivation. So much admired was this fruit on its first ap- 

 pearance, that the plants were sold at one guinea each. 



15. Roseberry. This is a variety of the scarlet, or Virgi- 

 nian strawberry, of our woods, produced by culture in Eng- 

 land. It is a high flavoured fruit, of fair size, and produces 

 so abundantly, that it is cultivated more extensively for the 

 supply of the London markets than any other ; it is also 

 deemed the best for forcing in winter. 



16. Black. A blackish red fruit, of good flavour. 



17. Bath Scarlet. A fine variety; fruit of good size, and 

 well flavoured. 



18. New Hautbois. This is also called Black Hautbois; 

 fruit of the largest size of this class, and of a fine musk fla- 

 vour ; when full ripe, of a very dark or blackish red. It is 

 exceedingly productive, and I consider it one of the most 

 valuable kinds. 



19. Downton. This is highly esteemed ; fruit large, and 

 of good flavour ; the foliage very large and vigorous ; it pro- 

 duces well. 



20. Knight's JVb. 14. This is also called the Narrow 

 Leaved Scarlet. It is one of the finest varieties of No. 1 ; 

 fruit large, and of fine flavour. 



Bostock. A variety of the pine class. It has been known 

 by no less than sixteen names in England, which is of itself 

 a strong proof of the estimation in which it has been held. 



Montreml, Favourite French varieties. 



Raspberry Flavoured^ } 



Bush Alpine, or Monthly. This is exactly similar to No. 

 1 1, with the exception of its having no runners ; a circum- 

 stance to which some amateurs are particularly partial. 



French Hautbois. This much resembles No. 18, ex- 

 cept that the fruit seems not quite as large ; but it is one of 

 the greatest bearers I have ever seen. 



Large Lima. This is one of the very largest and finest 

 flavoured kinds I have ever se^en ; the fruit is of a long co- 

 nical form, and is very high flavoured. I consider this one 

 of the very best for a family garden, and perhaps it may 

 prove equally so to cultivate as a market strawberry. I un-
