deep soil. The berries lose their color soon after being gath- 
ered. This variety has been largely used as a fertilizer for 
Hovey’s Seedling. Fig. in Hovey’s Fruits of America, I. 27.

ductive; fruit regularly conical, uniform, firm and large;

and good. Much employed by cultivators near Boston as a 
fertilizer for Hovey’s Seedling.

BRITANNIA. 
BriTisH QUEEN (Myatt). This is perhaps the most famous 
strawberry ever raised in England, and has been very widely 
grown there, where it is a favorite market berry. Unfortu- 
nately, it does not come to full perfection here; and it is not 
only tender, but very capricious in its choice of soils. It is the 
parent of many excellent kinds. Fruit of the largest: size,. 
roundish, slightly conical, rich scarlet; flesh pure white, and 
of the highest flavor. Forces admirably. Fig. in Hort. VII.
