220 Account and Description of Strawberries. 



posed that it was the Old Black Strawberry which was in- 

 tended to have been noticed. 



The account of Strawberries in Marshall's Introduction to 

 Gardening does very little credit to the accuracy or know- 

 ledge of the writer. After enumerating, 1st. Red Wood. 

 2d. White Wood. 3d. Green Wood, [Common Green Straw- 

 berry.) 4th. Red Alpine. 5th. White Alpine. 6th. Scarlet, 

 ( Old Scarlet.) 7th. Carolina, (Old Pine.) 8th. Hautboy, 

 (Common Hautbois.) 9th. Red Pine Apple, (Surinam.) 

 10th. Green Pine Apple, (Common Green Strawberry a se- 

 cond time,) he mentions " Chilis of sorts with seminal varie- 

 ties, as several of the Hautboy, and one in particular of the 

 Carolina, called the Pink-fleshed Strawberry with one leaf, 

 a variety of the Wood and Prolific." What sorts of Chili 

 or varieties of the Hautbois he meant to notice it is impossi- 

 ble to guess, and the making the One-leafed Strawberry a 

 Carolina is an absurdity. 



NicoT s Gardeners Kalendar is the Manual of the Horticul- 

 turalists of Scotland, whose application of the most common 

 names of Strawberries differs from that of England as used 

 in the three before mentioned works. His names are as fol- 

 lows: 1st. Virginia or Scarlet, (Old Scarlet.) 2d. Red Chili, 

 (Surinam.) 3d. Hautboy, (Common Hautbois.) 4th. Pine 

 Apple, (Common Green Strawberry.) 5th. White Bath, 

 ( White Carolina,) 6th. Red Bath. 7th. White Wood, 8th. 

 Red Wood. 9th. Red Alpine. 10th. White Alpine. 11th. 

 Carolina. Though I have referred some of these to what I 

 conceive to be their proper places, yet as I cannot venture to 

 decide what are meant by the Red Bath and the Carolina, 

 the determination of these must remain unsettled.
