 scarlet, with a fiery shade on the upper part of the throat. 



They are both of the dwarf compact habit of minimus, and

 and thrown well above the foliage, and are a mass of bloom' 

 throughout the summer and autumn. Packets, containing

NEW STRAWBERRY— CAROLINA SUPERBA^ 



TAMES KITLEY begs to inform his friend* and the 



el public that he has succeeded in raising fr m 1 N w 



Strawberry, the qualities of which have Kong been ad. deratam. 

 It possesses the excellent flavour of the old Carolina, the frni s 

 large as the British nneen, with all the comb d aualitfea 



ot productiveness, hardiness of plant, dwarf habit &c., which 

 tend to make it a general favourite. It was exhibited at the 

 Chiswick Horticultural Exhibition, and obtained a First-class 

 Certificate.— See Gardeners' Chronicle, July 15, 1864 



Dr. Lindle.y's Opinion. 

 "J. K., the Strawberry which you have named Carolina 

 Superba partakes of the flavour of the old Carolina, but 

 the fruit was bru d by carriage, so that the p which 



accompanied the Strawberries was saturated with juice, and 

 this juice dried on the paper like avrup — swt . adhesive, 

 glossy, and brownish coloured. Strawberry juice d > not Uhuallr 

 possess tliese properties.' —See Gardners Chronicle, Julv 1. IBM. 

 The undermentioned gentlemen having had opportunities of 

 seeing it growing, and also tasting the fruit, have kindly per- 

 mitted their Testirnonals to be placed before the public :- 



"Your Carolina Superba Straw berry, which I saw last mmer 

 m bearing, appeared a very hardy and" productive kind, with the 



flavour of the old Carolina, and will prove an acquisition to this 

 class of fruit. 



il Jonx Spencer, Marquis of Lanedowne's, ftowood." 

 " I feel much pleasure in giving my opinion of vmr dling 

 Strawberry, Carolina Superba. Having had frequent*. -, tunltiea 

 of seeing it growing and tasting the Iruit, I consider It hardy, of 

 good habit, shcrt foliage and fruit-stem. In flavour and crop, I 

 know none that will surpass it; and feel assured it uili do you 

 credit, and give satisfaction to all who may purchase it. 



44 James Pond, Devonshire Cottage, Bath." 

 "The Seedling Strawberry, named Carolina 8u at I -aw 



in fruit in your nursery last season, appeared to me to I a first- 

 class variety of dwarf foliage, a profuse bearer, end fla\.-ur 

 excellent. I have no doubt it will -ive the greatest satisfaction 

 to all who may possess it.

EXTRACTS: 



9 One of the fields of this farm, the property of Mrs. Stanburt, 

 was planted with Kegent Potatoes in April last, some of which 

 were prepared by you. The result now is, that the whole of the 

 crop from the unprepared sets is thoroughly diseased, and hardly 

 worth the trouble of taking up; while those raised bv the side of 

 them Irom the prepared sets are not only in a beautiful state of 

 preservat from the disease, but the produce is much greater — 

 the Potat 9 are more numerous than the others; indeed if there 

 were no such thing as the disease to be feared, it would be worth 

 the trouble and expense of preparing the sets by your process 

 even for the sake of the improved crops. I shall certainly, for 

 the futnre, prepare all my Potatoes for seed by your process ; and 

 I intend to adopt it for preserving my Wheat from the Smut.

 next to them, are diseased and eaten by worms.
