STRAWBERRIES. 183 



brownish purple ; the seeds are slightly embedded and the 

 flavour musky. The flowers called males produce occasion- 

 ally small imperfect berries with projecting seeds, and it is re- 

 quisite that the plants which yield flowers of this description 

 should be eradicated as useless.

The fruit of this variety is of nearly a spherical form, small, 

 becoming dark purple when ripe ; the seeds prominent ; the 

 flesh greenish, firm, with a separable core ; the flavour good,

 ish on the sunny side, white on the other side j the seeds are

 such a one among our natives.
