the flesh solid, firm, pale scarlet ; the flavour good. The 

 calyx is large and spreading. The footstalks of the leaves 

 are hairy ; the leaflets are small, oblong, coarsely serrated, 

 with their upper surface slightly hairy, shining, light green. 

 The runners are small, numerous, greenish yellow. The 

 scapes are very short, stiff, hairy, branched, with long pedun- 

 cles ; the flowers are large and late.* 



The chief merit of this sort is its lateness in yielding its 

 fruit, which is ripe when all others, except the Alpines, have 

 ceased to bear, and it is sufficiently productive to make it 

 worthy of cultivation. 



23. Narrow-leaved Scarlet Strawberry. This is another 

 of the cross-bred productions described as Number 14, by 

 Thomas Andrew Knight, Esq, in the Paper mentioned in 

 the preceding account, and is there briefly noticed as having 

 been raised from seed of the Strawberry called Knight's 

 Large Scarlet, impregnated by the pollen of the Old Black. 

 It is also cultivated by John Williams, Esq. of Pitmaston, 

 under the name now given to it. 



It is a good bearer, ripening later than most of the class of 

 Scarlets, in which it has been placed, from its affinity to them. 

 The fruit is middle sized, conical, with a neck, hairy, when 

 ripe of an uniform bright scarlet ; the seeds projecting, with 

 flat intervals ; the flesh firm, solid, pale scarlet, with a tolera- 

 bly rich flavour. The calyx is large and incurved. The foot- 

 stalks of the leaves are of moderate length, slender, thinly 

 covered with long hairs ; the leaflets very long, narrow, flat, 

 reclined, with large coarse serratures, their upper surface 

 hairy. The runners are numerous, small, and very light green.
