6. Dutch Strawberry. This Strawberry, intermediate in 

 habit between the Chinese and Surinam, was sent to the 

 Society in 1822, from the garden of Sir William Rowley, 

 at Tendring Hall, in Suffolk. It was introduced there nearly 

 forty years ago, from an old garden since destroyed in the 

 neighbourhood, under its present name, by the gardener, 

 Mr. Joseph Godden. 



It is an abundant bearer, ripening later than the Chinese or 

 the Surinam. The fruit is large, round, of a bright shining red 

 on the exposed side, the other side paler ; the seeds project 

 from a polished smooth surface ; the flesh is pale red, woolly, 

 hollow in the centre, with a core, of indifferent flavour. The 

 calyx large and spreading. The footstalks of the leaves are 

 tall, a little hairy, somewhat erect, the leaflets small, slightly 

 concave, of thin texture, with sharp serratures, the upper 

 surface smooth, shining dark green. The runners small, 

 numerous, very light green. The scapes short, stiff, hairy, 

 much branched ; the peduncles long ; the blossoms large. 



Though of inferior flavour, this may prove a valuable kind 

 to the Market Gardener, its produce being not only abundant 

 but certain j it never fails to yield a good crop, and conse-
