It came also from nurseries in one case under the name of 

 Chinese, and in another as the Carolina, 



It is a good bearer, ripening late. The fruit is variable in 

 shape, the largest frequently appear as if compressed, but 

 they are generally conical with a neck, large, hairy, of a 

 darkish shining scarlet next the sun, having the other side 

 paler ; the seeds prominent ; the flesh pale scarlet, firm, with 

 a large core ; the flavour good, but inferior to that of the Old 

 Pine. Calyx large and incurved. The footstalks of the 

 leaves are tall, spreading or erect, red, slightly hairy ; leaf- 

 lets large, oval, pointed at the ends, flat or slightly folded 

 together, with deep and coarse serratures, their upper surface 

 almost smooth, shining light green. The runners are elevated 

 at first, and afterwards recumbent, as in the Old Pine and 

 Bostock, they are of a reddish colour, large and numerous. 

 The scapes are very short, upright, hairy, branching; the 

 peduncles very long ; the blossoms large. 



In habit this Strawberry is like the Old Pine, but the leaf- 

 lets are of thinner texture, and reclined ; it is readily known 

 by its red footstalks. It is said to be a good forcer, and is on 

 the whole an useful kind, though inferior to the Old Pine.

It is a very shy bearer, ripening late. The fruit ovate, 

 large, when ripe of a uniform light shining red ; the seeds 

 dark red on the exposed side, yellow on the other, projecting
