62. Wilmot's Late Scarlet. Hort. Trans. Yol. iii. 

 p. 115. 



Fruit very large, bluntly conical, irregularly shaped, of a 

 shining light red. Seeds small, deeply embedded, with ridged 

 intervals. Flesh white, hollow in the centre ; flavour mode- 

 rate. 



It is a good bearer, ripening late enough to succeed the 

 Old Scarlet, and producing its berries in succession, so as 

 to afford a continued supply : to be tasted in perfection, it 

 should be eaten as soon as gathered. 



JS'oie. — In mentioning the size of fruit, it is to be under- 

 stood that the comparison is only made between those be- 

 longing to each particular class, and not to those of any 

 other. 



When it is stated that the fruit of the variety under de- 

 scription has a core, the idea intended to be conveyed is, 

 that the core readily separates, adhering to the calyx when 

 the receptacle is removed.
