in the colour of the fruit, which is also not quite so acid. The 



plant is an equally con- 

 tinuous bearer. 



Janus Alpine Straw- 

 berry. A very fine 



variety of the Alpine 



Strawberry, characterised 



by the fruit being conical, 



large, and well shaped, 



and becoming almost 



black when perfectly ripe. 



It is very productive, a 



very continuous bearer, 



and highly worthy of re- 

 commendation in every 



respect. The variety 



comes very true from 



seed. 



Alpine Belle de 



Meaux Strawberry. A 



sport of the Red Alpine 



Strawberry, characterised 



by the large size of its 



fruit and the intense red 



colour of the whole plant. 



Not only the stems and 



runners, but the flowers 



themselves, are often tinged with red, and the fruit almost black 



when quite ripe. Produces abundantly during six months of 



the year, and comes quite true from seed. 



Bush Alpine Strawberry. 

 This very distinct variety has the 

 advantage of growing without pro- 

 ducing any runners, which often 

 make it troublesome to keep Straw- 

 berry-beds in order, and, on this 

 account, it is peculiarly well adapted 

 for planting as edgings. There is 

 one form of it with red, and another 

 with white fruit. Both are hardy, 

 productive, and continuous bearers, 

 and reproduce themselves from seed 

 with hardly any variation. They 

 may also be multiplied by division
