STRAWBERRIES. 267 



BRITISH QUEEN (Myatt's British Queen). !bvuit large, 

 sometimes very large, roundish, flattened, and cockscomb 

 shaped, the smaller fruit ovate or conical. Skin pale red, 

 colouring unequally, being frequently white or greenish - 

 white at the apex. Flesh white, firm, juicy, and with a 

 remarkably rich and exquisite flavour. 



The great fault of this variety is that the plant is so 

 very tender ; it will not succeed in all soils and situations, 

 and it is generally an indifferent bearer. 



CAPTAIN COOK. Fruit large, roundish-ovate, and irre- 

 gular. Skin deep scarlet, and frequently greenish at the 

 point. Flesh pale scarlet, solid throughout, juicy and 

 richly flavoured, but not of first-rate quality. 



Carolina. See Old Pine. 



CAROLINA SUPERBA. Fruit very large, ovate, some- 

 times inclining to cockscomb shape, with an even surface. 

 Seeds not deeply embedded. Skin pale red, extending 

 equally over the whole fruit. Flesh clear white, very- 

 firm and solid, with a fine vinous flavour and rich aroma, 

 equalling the British Queen. 



The plant is much hardier, a freer grower, and better 

 bearer than British Queen. 



COMTE DE PARIS. Fruit large, obtuse-heartshaped, 

 even in its outline. Skin scarlet, becoming deep crimson 

 when highly ripened. Flesh pale red, and solid through- 

 out, with a briskly acid flavour. 



This is a favourite with those who prefer a brisk fruit ; 

 and it is an excellent bearer. 



CRIMSON QUEEN (Doubledays No. 2). Fruit large, 

 cockscomb shape, very much corrugated and irregular, 

 with a coarse surface. Skin bright cherry-scarlet. 

 Flesh red throughout, solid, and firm, with a briskly 

 acid flavour. 



This is a late variety, and a great bearer. 



Cuthill's Black Prince. See Slack Prince. 



CUTHILL'S PRINCE OF WALES. Fruit medium sized, 

 conical. Skin bright red. Flesh firm, very acid, and 

 without much flavour. 



Cuthill's Princess Royal. See Princess Royal of 

 England. 



DEPTFORD PINE. Fruit large, and cockscomb shaped, 

 the smaller fruit conical. Skin bright scarlet, glossy as
