Saddle Inarching is effected by heading down the stock, 
cutting its top in the form of a wpdge, and then it is cut with 
an upward notch, and fitted 
on to it, as shown in fig. 3. 
The parts aro bound and 
clayed as in the other modes 
of inarching. A ring of 
bark is removed down to 
the wood from the scion- 
branch. This removal 
checks the return of the sap, 
accumulates tho cambium 
about the wound, and con¬ 
sequently promotes tho 
union between the stock 
and the scion. It is a 
judicious practice, because 
tho fact that many trees 
and shrubs which are pro¬ 
pagated with difficulty by grafting, can be readily propagated by 
inarching, points out that in them the deficient supply of cam¬ 
bium is the cause of the scion and stock failing to unite. 
When the stock is much larger than the scion to be united to if, 
the following modifications are practised. The top of the stock 
is cut off slanting on one side only ; then a long tongue is cut in 
the scion of only one-third of its thickness, and as much of the 
bark and wood is cut from the back and front of the stock as 
will correspond with the length and width of the scion’s tongue. 
A ring of bark is also taken off as just described, and tho whole 
when adjusted previously to binding with bast and claving ap¬ 
pears as in fig. 4.

Inarching with partly-nourished Scions .—This E merely side 
inarching with the lower end of the scion plunged[(in a pot of 
nioist earth, or filled with water, as in fig. 5. The water re¬ 
quires renewing occasionally, and a slice from the base of the 
scion being cut off at the same time, to be then replaced in the 
fresh water. This mode is sometimes adopted for Camellias. 
The top of the stock in this mode should not bo cut off until the 
scion and the stock have united.— (Loudon.)—J.

FRUITS ADAPTED TO THE VARIOUS 
LOCALITIES OF GREAT BRITAIN. 
(Continued from page 151.) 
STRAWBERRIES. 
Fillbasicet. —Fruit rather large, roundish, sometimes 
flattened on the sides. Skin dark red. Elesh pale red 
throughout, very acid, and without much flavour, 
Goliath. See Hit leg's Goliath. 
Great Exhibition (Exhibition ).—Fruit medium sized, 
oblong, ovate, or irregular. Seeds prominent. Skin 
bright red. Elesh dull yellow, very woolly and worthless. 
The plant is a great bearer, but otherwise not worth 
growing. 
Highland Chief. —Fruit large, roundish-ovate, and 
somewhat flattened. Seeds not deeply embedded. Skin 
fine, clear red, becoming darker red as it ripens. Flesh 
dark red throughout, very firm and solid, very juicy and 
vinous, and with a rich pine flavour. 
A very excellent strawberry. The plant is a most 
abundant bearer, and deserves universal cultivation. 
Hooper’s Seedling. —Fruit large, conical, rarely 
flattened, but sometimes deeply furrowed. Seeds rather 
deeply embedded. Skin dark red, assuming a very deep 
blackish tinge as it ripens. Flesh crimson at the exte¬ 
rior, but paler towards the centre, sweet, brisk, and 
richly flavoured. 
A good bearer, and an excellent variety for general 
purposes. 
Ingram’s Prince of Wales.— Fruit very large, flat¬ 
tened and wedge-shaped, the smaller fruit ovate. Seeds 
not deeply embedded. Skin deep c.imson, becoming 
darker as it ripens. Flesh pale red, very firm and solid, 
brisk, sweet, and richly flavoured. 
An excellent variety, and admirably adapted for forcing. 
Keens’ Seedling. —Fruit large, ovate, sometimes in¬ 
clining to cockscomb shape. Seeds not deeply embedded. 
Skin dark crimson, becoming very dark when highly 
ripened. Flesh scarlet, firm and solid, juicy, brisk, and 
richly flavoured. 
An old and well-established variety, which, for general 
purposes, has not yet been surpassed. 
Kitley’s Goliath (Goliath ).—Fruit very large, com¬ 
pressed and wedge-shaped, the smaller ones ovate. Seeds 
deeply embedded, which gives the surface a rough ap¬ 
pearance. Skin deep red, colouring equally all over. 
Flesh white, solid, briskly and richly flavoured, but not 
equal to British Queen, to which it is similar. It is, 
however, a better grower and better cropper. 
Mammoth (Mgait 's Mammoth). — Fruit immensely 
large, flattened, deeply furrowed and ribbed, irregular 
and uneven in its outline. Seeds small and very slightly 
embedded. Skin glossy, of a fine deep red colour. Flesh 
scarlet throughout, firm and solid, even in the largest 
specimens, and of a brisk and pleasant flavour, which is 
rich in the well ripened fruit. 
The foliage is small, and on short footstalks, and permits 
the fruit to be well exposed to the influence of the sun. 
Marquise de la Tour Maubourg. See Duchssse de 
Trevise. 
Myatt’s British Queen. See British Queen. 
Myatt’s Eleanor. See Eleanor. 
Myatt’s Eliza. —Fruit above medium size, ovate or 
conical, with a glossy neck. Seeds not deeply embedded. 
Skin light red, becoming deep red when highly ripened. 
Flesh scarlet on the outside, but paler towards the core, 
firm and solid, very juicy, and with a particularly rich 
and exquisite flavour. 
This is one of the richest flavoured of all the varieties. 
The plant is a pretty good bearer, and hardier than the 
British Queen, to which it is, under all circumstances, 
superior in flavour. 
Myatt’s Globe. — Fruit large, roundish-ovate, even 
and regular, and with rather prominent seeds. Skin 
pale red, or rose coloured. Flesh white, but not solid at 
the core, of a rich and excellent flavour. 
The plants are most abundant bearers.
