STRAWBERRIES. 4Q7 



Aberdeen. Rose Strawberry. 



Aberdeen Seedling. Scotch Scarlet. 



Prolific Pine. 



Fruit large, conical and pointed, with a very short 

 neck, dark red, hairy ; the early fruits assume a cocks- 

 comb shape where the plants are luxuriant. Seeds 

 yellow, deeply embedded, between ridged intervals. 

 Flesh firm, pale scarlet, with a core j the flavour is 

 not rich, it is however agreeable, and best when fully 

 ripe. It is much admired by many, and even thought 

 by some superior to the Old Scarlet. 



59. SCONE SCARLET. Hort. Trans. Vol. vi. p. 170. 

 Fruit of a moderate size, round, without a neck, of 



a light shining red on the upper side, paler on the 

 other, hairy. Seeds dark brown, deeply embedded, 

 with round intervals. Flesh firm, pale pink; the 

 flavour sharp, with abundance of acid. 



It is a great bearer, ripening late, and contains more 

 acid than any other known strawberry. 



60. SIR JOSEPH BANKS'S SCARLET. Hort. Trans. 

 Vol. vi. p. 161. 



New Scarlet. Ib. 



Fruit of moderate size, oblong, with a neck, the 

 apex blunt, of a bright scarlet. Seeds nearly promi- 

 nent, with very flat intervals. Flesh bright scarlet, 

 firm, and high-flavoured. This Strawberry is very 

 closely allied with the Austrian Scarlet, with which it 

 has probably sometimes been confounded, it ripens 

 nearly at the same time, and though not so prolific, 

 yet has a superior flavour.

Fruit middle-sized, round, dark red, rather hairy 

 Seeds slightly embedded, with flat intervals. Flesh
