Fruit very large, bluntly conical, irregularly shaped, 

 of a shining light red. Seeds small, deeply embedded, 

 with ridged intervals. Flesh white, hollow in the 

 centre ; flavour moderate. 



It is a good bearer, ripening late enough to succeed 

 the Old Scarlet, and producing its berries in succession, 

 so as to afford a continued supply ; to be tasted in 

 perfection, it should be eaten as soon as gathered. 



Note. In mentioning the size of fruit, it is to be 

 understood that the comparison is only made between 

 those belonging to each particular class, and not to those 

 of any other. 



When it is stated that the fruit of the variety under 

 description has a core, the idea intended to be con- 

 veyed is, that the core readily separates, adhering to the 

 calyx when the receptacle is removed.
