592 THE FRUIT MANUAL. 



MABGUERITE.— Fruit, very large ; conical. Skin, bright shining 

 red. Flesh, bright orange, solid, juicy, sugary, and richly flavoured. 



A variety introduced from France. It is of immense size, and 

 sometimes weighs as much as three ounces and a half. 



Marquise de la Tour Maubourg. See Vicomtesse Hericart de Thury. 



MR. RADCLYFFE.— Fruit, large ; obovate or cockscombed, in 

 appearance like British Queen. Seeds, rather pale, prominent. Flesh, 

 sweet, or having a brisk acidity, and of excellent quality. 



The plant is of nice habit, and is an abundant bearer. 



This was raised by Mr. Ingram, of Frogmore. 



MAY QUEEN.— Fruit, small ; roundish. Skin, bright orange. 

 Seeds, deeply imbedded. Flesh, white, juicy, and agreeably flavoured. 



A small early strawberry, remarkable only for its earliness and 

 fertility. 



Myatt's British Queen. See British Queen. 



Hyatt's Eleanor. See Eleanor. 



MYATT'S ELIZA {Omar Pasha; Rival Queen). — Fruit, medium 

 sized; ovate or conical, with a glossy neck. Seeds, not deeply im- 

 bedded. Skin, light red, becoming deep red when highly ripened. 

 Flesh, scarlet on the outside, but paler towards the core, firm and 

 solid, very juicy, and with a particularly rich and exquisite flavour. 



This is one of the richest flavoured of all the varieties. The plant 

 is a pretty good bearer, and hardier than the British Queen, to which it 

 is, under all circumstances, superior in flavour. When forced the fruit 

 is large, of fine colour, and exquisite flavour. 



Myatt's Mammoth. See Mammoth. 

 Myatt's Prohfic. See Wonderful. 

 Myatt's Seedling. See Filbert Pine. 



NIMROD. — Fruit, large ; ovate, with a short neck. Skin, deep 

 scarlet. Seeds, moderately imbedded. Flesh, firm, briskly flavoured, 

 and rich. 



A first-rate variety, which forces well, and produces richly flavoured 

 fruit. In many collections Eleanor is the variety grown under the 

 name of Nimrod. 



OLD PINE {Black Pine ; Carolina ; Scarlet Pine). — Fruit, medium 

 sized ; ovate, even and regular, and with a glossy neck. Seeds, pro- 

 minent. Skin, deep red. Flesh, pale red, very firm and solid, with a 

 tine, 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. It succeeds better under the 

 shade of trees than any other variety. 



Omar Pasha. See Myatl's Eliia.
