pretty deeply furrowed. The runners are similar to those 

 of the Hudson's Bay. The scapes are very short, stiff and 

 hairy, with short peduncles ; the flowers are larger than those 

 of the Hudson's Bay, with perfect anthers. 



This contains more acid than any other known Strawberry, 

 and may be interesting to the general cultivator, but will not 

 properly form one of a small collection, if selected with care 

 and judgment. 



17. Garnstone Scarlet Strawberry. This variety is named 

 from the seat of Samuel Peploe, Esq. in Herefordshire, 

 in whose garden it was raised in 1819, by Mr. Andrew 

 Henderson, the gardener. It was first sent to the Society 

 by Mr. John Mearns, gardener to William Hanbury, 

 Esq. of Shobden Court, in the same county. 



It is a moderate bearer, ripening late. The fruit is round, 

 middle sized, hairy, with a short neck, when ripe of a rich 

 glossy scarlet; the seeds are red, deeply embedded, with 

 round intervals ; the flesh is scarlet, firm, with a sharp agree- 

 able flavour. The calyx is of a moderate size, spreading, and 

 sometimes slightly incurved. The foot-stalks of the leaves 

 are upright, stiff, slightly hairy, reddish ; the leaflets middle 

 sized, almost flat, spreading horizontally, coarsely seriated, 

 light green. The runners are numerous, large, and reddish. 

 The scapes short, very hairy, branched, with short peduncles ; 

 the flowers are large, with perfect anthers, and open late. 



In habit this kind is like the Hudson's Bay, but the leaflets 

 are shorter, and have a flat surface; in the Hudson's Bay 

 the surface of the leaves is very uneven. It is considered in 

 the Herefordshire gardens as a Strawberry of much merit,
