590 THE FRUIT MANUAL. 



Charles Napier, paler at the tip. Flesh, white, soHd, very juicy, brisk, 

 and with a rich pine flavour. 



A first-rate variety, an abundant bearer, and forces well. 



INGKAM'S PRINCE ALFRED. — Fruit, of large size; ovate. Skin, 

 dark red. Seeds, prominent. Flesh, with a rosy tint, juicy, sugary, 

 and richly flavoured. 



An excellent and prolific strawberry. 



INGRAM'S PRINCE OF WALES.— Fruit, very large ; roundish, 

 flattened and wedge-shaped, the smaller fruit ovate. Seeds, not 

 deeply imbedded. Skin, deep crimson, becoming darker as it ripens. 

 Flesh, pale red, very firm and solid, brisk, sweet, and richly flavoured. 



An excellent variety, and admirably adapted for forcing, when it 

 produces large and richly flavoured fruit, and bears abundantly. 



JOHN POWELL. — Fruit, above medium size; long ovate, and with 

 a long shining neck. Skin, bright shining red. Seeds, small, not 

 deeply imbedded. Flesh, white, with an occasional rosy tinge, firm, 

 very juicy, sugary, and richly pine-flavoured.

 cockscomb-shape. Seeds, not deeply imbedded. Skin, dark crimson, 

 becoming very dark when highly ripened. Flesh, scarlet, firm and 

 solid, juicy, brisk, and richly flavoured. 



An old and well-estabUshed variety, which, for many purposes, has 

 not yet been surpassed. It forces exceedingly well, and is much used 

 for that purpose, many preferring the flavour of this strawberry to that 

 of any other. When planted out it succeeds best from young plants, 

 the plantations requiring to be renewed every second year. 



It was raised by Mr. Michael Keens, a market-gardener at Isleworth, rear 

 London. 



KITLEY'S GOLIATH {Goliath).— Frnii, very large, compressed 

 and wedge-shaped, the smaller ones ovate. Seeds, deeply imbedded, 

 which gives the surface a rough appearance. Skin, deep red, colouring 

 equally all over. Flesh, white, solid, briskly and richly flavoured, but 

 not equal to British Queen, to which it is similar. 



An excellent strawberry, and, for large culture, one of the best. The 

 plant is vigorous, very hardy, and an abundant bearer.

 Bath, in 1838,
