594 THE FKUIT MANUAL. 



The plant is a great bearer, throws the trusses of fruit well up, and 

 is very early. It forces well, and the fruit when ripe yields a strong 

 perfume, a few plants with ripe fruit on them scenting a large house. 

 On this account it is much prized by some. 



PEINCESS EOYAL OF ENGLAND {Cuthill's Princess Royal).— 

 Fruit, medium sized ; roundish ovate or conical, with a neck. Seeds, 

 deeply imbedded. Skin, deep scarlet where exposed to the sun, and 

 paler in the shade. Flesh, pale red at the surface, whitish towards the 

 core, very rich and highly flavoured. 



All abundant bearer, and an excellent variety for general cultivation. 



PEINCESS OF WALES (Knight's). — Fruit, large ; cockscomb- 

 shaped, and corrugated. Skin, bright red, and well coloured through- 

 out. Seeds, deeply imbedded. Flesh, solid, tinged with red, very 

 tender and juicy, and with a rich pine flavour. 



A very excellent and very early strawberry, being almost as early 

 as May Queen, and infinitely superior to it both in size and flavour. 



PEOLIFIC HAUTBOIS (Belle Bordelaise).—Frmt, below medium 

 size ; conical. Seeds, prominent. Skin, light purple in the shade, 

 and blackish purple on the side next the sun. Flesh, firm, sweet, and 

 with the rich, peculiar flavour of the Hautbois.

EIFLEMAN. — Fruit, large or very large; ovate or cockscomb- 

 shaped, and corrugated. Skin, bright salmon-coloured. Seeds, pro- 

 minent. Flesh, solid, white, firm, juicy, richly flavoured. 



The plant is of vigorous habit of growth, and is an abundant 

 bearer. 



Eival Queen. See Myatt's Eliza. 



EIVEES' EliIZ A {Seedling Eliza).— This is a seedling from Myatt's 

 Eliza, but rather more ovate in shape, and possessing all the character 

 and flavour of that excellent variety, and is a more abundant bearer. 



EOSEBEEEY (Aberdem Seedling ; Prolific Pine). — Fruit, large ; 

 conical and pointed. Seeds, deeply imbedded, with prominent ridges 

 between them. Skin, dark red, becoming blackish as it ripens. Flesh, 

 pale scarlet, firm, with an agreeable fiavour. 



EOYAL HAUTBOIS. — ^Fruit, much larger than any other variety of 

 Hautbois ; of a purplish rose colour, and very richly flavoured. 



The plant is unusually fertile for a Hautbois, and is, indeed, the only 

 one of the race worth cultivating. 



EOYALTY. — Fruit, of medium size; ovate, with a well-defined 

 neck ; the colour bright shining red. Flesh, pale red, solid, rich, and 

 very pleasant. Habit, robust.

 British Queen.
