210 On the Variations of the Scarlet Strawberry. 



Nos. 14, 16, 17, and 18, sprang from seeds of the Scarlet, 

 and pollen of the Black Strawberry. All appear to be re- 

 markably productive varieties, and the fruit of all was excel- 

 lent in the present year. The flesh of No. 16 is remarkable 

 for its deep scarlet colour. 



I have two very late varieties, one so late that some of its 

 fruit still remains immature, and none of it was ripe enough 

 to be gathered before the end of the last week. The fruit of 

 both was very large, but the flavour of neither is sufficiently 

 good to induce me to send plants. 



I possess at present only a single bearing plant of each of 

 the above mentioned varieties ; but should the fruit of any be 

 found valuable, I shall be prepared to send a very large num- 

 ber of plants of all, except No. 13, in the next year ; and such 

 will be much at the service of every Member of the Horti- 

 cultural Society, who may wish to obtain them.
