198 Account and Description of Strawberries, 



excellence, though its flavour is not so intense or powerful 

 as that of the Old Black and its varieties, nor so aromatic 

 as the Hautbois ; it has however a quality so peculiarly 

 agreeable to the palate, that it must be placed in the first 

 rank of Strawberries. It forces well under particular ma- 

 nagement, but does not bear early under glass. It is also 

 most excellent when preserved whole as a sweetmeat. None 

 of all the various parcels received from different places which 

 I examined, though varying in productiveness, exhibited any 

 distinguishing characters either in the foliage, flowering stems, 

 blossoms, or fruit. It prefers a cool though not a shaded 

 situation, not succeeding well where exposed to the reflected 

 heat of the sun. It succeeds best in a stiff soil approaching 

 to clay. 



8. Glazed Pine Strawberry. This Strawberry came with 

 the name of the Glazed Pine from the garden of Viscount 

 Sydney at Frognal in Kent. Mr. Thomas Moffat t the 

 Gardener there, received it as a valuable kind from Mr. 

 James Grange's garden at Kingsland. It is known as 

 Knott's Pine, about Manchester, where it is much esteemed, 

 having been introduced to that neighbourhood some years 

 ago by Mr. John Knott, of Chester, whose account of it is, 

 that it was raised in the garden of Lord Delamere at Vale 

 Royal. It was sent to the Society from Smith's nursery, 

 near Manchester, by the proprietor, Mr. William Smith,
