CLASS II. 



Comprising varieties of very good quality — some suited to cer- 

 tain localities^ and many not yet well tested. 



Admiral Dundas. (Myatts.) 



An English variety, of vigorous habit. Flowers staminate. 

 Fruit large, irregular, or somewhat flattened, or angular shape 

 in the large berries, and conical in the smaller ones. Colour, 

 pale scarlet. Flesh moderately firm, juicy, with a good but not 

 high flavour. (Hov. Mag.) 



Ajax. (Nicholson's.) 

 An English variety. A large, dark-coloured fruit, of a blunt, 

 ovate form, with a deep-coloured flesh, well-flavoured and good. 

 Vines not hardy. (Hov. Mag.) 



Alice Maud. 



A foreign variety. Flowers staminate. Plant strong and 

 vigorous ; requires plenty of room, deep and rich cultivation, to 

 succeed well. Mr. John Saul, of Washington, says it is grown 

 extensively around that city by the market gardeners, and is 

 one of their best for that purpose. Fruit large, conical. Colour, 

 dark, glossy scarlet. Flesh light scarlet, juicy, rich, and excel- 

 lent. 



BicTON Pine. 



A new English variety, but too tender for our climate. Fruit 

 large, roundish. Colour white, with a tinge of pink on the 

 sunny side. Flesh tender, delicate, mild and pleasant, but not 

 rich. 



Black Prince. 

 Black Imperial. 



A foreign variety, and, when in perfection, of the best quality.
