Propagation 



Mulch the plants with very long, strawy manure 

 in spring ; then the subsequent rains will wash the 

 soluble part of the manure into the ground, leaving 

 the straw sufficiently clean to support the fruit. 



A Selection of Varieties to form a succession, 

 i.e., to provide fruit from June to October : 



" KING GEORGE V." (LAXTON). A seedling 

 from Louis Gauthier x Royal Sovereign, and it 

 ripens a week earlier than the latter. Forces 

 well. Heavy Cropper. 



." ROYAL SOVEREIGN." Similar to the above 

 but. ripens later. A very popular sort. 



"THE EARL." May be described as Vicoun- 

 tess H. de Thurz, very much improved. Excellent 

 flavour and useful for preserving. 



"LAXTONIAN." A grand main-crop variety and 

 an improvement on the older " Sir Joseph Paxton." 

 Retains its colour after picking and travels well. 



"BRITISH QUEEN." The finest flavoured of all 

 strawberries. Requires good cultivation. 



" GIVONS' LATE PROLIFIC. Very vigorous and 

 free-cropping. Better than "Waterloo." 



LAXTON'S LATEST. Better grower than " Latest 

 of All." Does well on all soils. Large roundish 

 fruit of dark colour. 



PERPETUALS : "WHITE PERPETUAL." Louis 

 Gauthier x St. Antoine. Fruits till stopped by 

 frost. 



"EVERBEARING" (LAXTON). Large fruited red 

 perpetual. Fruits continuously from June to 

 November.
