Black Prince Strawberry Plant, grown by Mr. Cuthill, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Black Prince Strawberry Plant, grown by Mr. Cuthill, 1850. For this prolific and early kind of strawberry, Mr. Cuthill, of Camberwell, has just received a certificate of merit from the Horticultural Society, for well-ripened examples from the open ground. The Black Prince is now becoming universally cultivated, more especially for early crops: it is well flavoured, and very productive. The Black Prince also gained a prize from the Botanic Society, Regent's Park, last year, so that it has now been well proved: it travels well, and will keep longer on the plant after it is ripe, and the fruit keep longer after it is picked, than any other sort. It is the king of strawberries for preserving, being ten days before any other good sort, and an enormous bearer. Mr. Cuthill has sold it...at four shillings a pound: the sharp frost on the 10th of May cut up all the early blossoms, or he would have had it in much earlier'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
