STBAWBEBEIES. 271 



HYATT'S GLOBE. Fruit large, roundish-ovate, even 

 and regular, and with rather prominent seeds. Skin, 

 pale red, or rose coloured. Flesh white, but not solid at 

 the core, of a rich and excellent flavour. 



The plants are most abundant bearers. 



Hyatt's Mammoth. See Mammoth. 

 Hyatt's Seedling. See Filbert Pine. 

 Hyatt's Surprise. See Surprise. 



NE PLUS ULTRA. Fruit large, cylindrical or oblong, 

 frequently assuming a digitate shape. Skin very dark 

 red. Flesh remarkably firm and solid, with a rich and 

 pleasant flavour. 



This is a singular variety, many of the fruit being so 

 divided at the apex as to appear like fingers. 



NIMROD. I have not yet been able to meet with what 

 is said to be the true form of this variety, all the plants 

 I have seen in fruit having proved to be the same as 

 Eleanor. 



OLD PINE (Slack Pine; Carolina; Scarlet Pine). 

 Fruit medium sized, ovate, even and regular, and with a 

 glossy neck. Seeds prominent. Skin deep red. Flesh 

 pale red, very firm and solid, with a fine sprightly and 

 very rich pine flavour. 



After all there are very few that equal, far less surpass, 

 the Old Pine in flavour ; but it is not a good bearer. 



OMAR PASHA (Rival Queen). Wherever I have met with 

 this variety it has proved to be the same as Myatt's Eliza. 



OSCAR. Fruit large, ovate and angular, sometimes flat- 

 tened and wedge-shaped. Seeds rather large, and deeply 

 embedded, which give the surface a coarse appearance. 

 Skin dark shining red, becoming almost black when fully 

 ripe. Flesh red throughout, very firm and solid, juicy 

 and richly flavoured. 



An excellent variety for a general crop, coming in a 

 few days after Black Prince ; a most abundant bearer ; 

 and from its firmness bears carriage well. 



PRINCESS ALICE MAUDE (Alice Maude). Fruit medium 

 sized, ovate or conical, and frequently large and kidney- 

 shaped. Seeds prominent or very slightly embedded. 

 Skin scarlet, becoming dark crimson when ripe. Flesh 

 scarlet throughout, tender, juicy, sweet, and with a rich, 

 brisk flavour.
