will retain its qualities in a different soil, and less favourable 

 season, I am, of course, ignorant ; but, I believe, I can be res- 

 ponsible that it will prove a good and productive variety. 



No. 7. A variety which much resembles the Hautbois in 

 form, and in some degree in colour ; but it is more red ex- 

 ternally, and its pulp is scarlet. The original plant bore a 

 most abundant crop of fine fruit, which ripened rather late. , 



No. 8. Of the same parentage as Number 4 ; colour, dark 

 brownish red ; very sweet and rich, of peculiar taste and fla- 

 vour. The fruit is very large, comparatively with the growth 

 and character of the plant, which produced an abundant 

 crop. 



No. 10. Very similar in form and size to the common 

 Scarlet, but of darker colour, and ripening much later. The 

 year-old seedling plant produced 113 marketable fruit in the 

 present year. I believe it will prove, in every respect, an 

 excellent variety, its fruit having been, in the present year, 

 very rich and high flavoured. It sprang from a seed of a 

 large and late variety of the Scarlet, and pollen of the Black 

 Strawberry. 



No. 13. A very large variety, similar in colour and form 

 to the Black, and in character like the Pine, but somewhat 

 longer ; and in the present (its first) season exceeding the 

 Pine in size. Its juice is nearly as deeply coloured as that 

 of a ripe Mulberry ; and its external colour appears likely to 

 render it a favourite in the market of London. It is a good 

 and, I believe, it will prove a productive variety, but the 

 plant scarcely emits any runners ; the two I send being all I 

 have hitherto been able to obtain from it. It sprang from a 

 seed of the Pine, and pollen of the Black Strawberry.
